Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros They were friendly, I’ll give them that. But I’d be nice too if I were buttering someone up…these people are awful Interface is good, inventory module is nice to add new products and quantity. It’s good system when it works but it is highly unstable. It was Really easy to use, had great features, was super consistent, I’ve had it for a year and it hasn’t broke. No pros at all. Easy to setup and configure, simple to use. Would be a great platform if all features were available. Cons Everything. They will say anything with no intent to follow thru. I bought NRS POS System in July 2024 and system was delivered in the first week of August which was installed by us since they don’t send any technicians for installation, however they provide online support for installation. Last 1.5 months there credit card processing machine has been giving us trouble on and off. All of a sudden during some transactions the card reader will go blank and POS will hang and become unresponsive. We have complained at least 10 times and ever time support person will tell our credit card system was not updated and we are updating now and your problem will be resolved. But next time they will tell the same thing, update the system and story continues Then second excuses they give us that your internet connection is not stable. They will ask me to sent picture of all connections which I have sent 3-4 times Other irritating thing they will call back at the core business times when we are busy at the store Today one of their support person confirmed me that their credit card machines is having some technical glitch and they will replace it. So why did they supplied faulty system to us. Because of these issues I have to continue with parallel credit card processing machines of clover provided by TD bank merchant services which works flawlessly but I end up paying for 2 systems one is NRS and second one is TD bank. Lot of time our customer get frustrated since payment doesn’t go through properly and they have to wait longer In short I have got frustrated in last 1.5 months, their technical support is very poor and rather than correcting the errors they keep finding stupid excuses. As a business I need a reliable and stable system which is lacking in NRS POS system. Didn’t have any particular issues with it, great experience overall. I ordered POS system 15 days back, I started my business after a week it started blinking screen, and after days it become worst and we can see or touch anything. I called them they say will do replace because it falls under warranty. I waited 15 days still didn’t receive my POS system replaced. I called them every day, emailed them, they says will create label once label created I asked Fedex people they said, NRS team never did that or handed over to them. Predatory licensing model, not as responsive after the sale, off shore support

Categories Point of Sale Retail POS Systems		Categories Point of Sale Scotch is a point-of-sale system built specifically for liquor stores, wine shops, package stores and beer retailers, not a general POS adapted for the category. It combines checkout, inventory management, back office, and eCommerce in one platform, with liquor-specific capabilities like case-break inventory tracking, age verification / ID scanning, automated receiving, margin optimization, and AI driven ordering. Pricing is all-in: hardware, installation, and data migration included. Scotch also matches or beats your current card processing rates with no hidden fees. Built by a team from Skupos, Drizly, and Toast. If you run a bottle shop, Scotch does what horizontal POS systems make you work around. Scotch replaces legacy liquor POS systems like Bottle POS, mPower Beverage, and Cloud Retailer, with migration handled for you; most single-store retailers go live in 30 days. Stores using AI-driven receiving typically cut receiving time by more than 20 hours per week. Retail POS Systems Scotch is a retail POS platform purpose-built for beverage alcohol: liquor stores, wine shops, package stores, and beer retailers. Generic retail POS treats a case and a single bottle as separate SKUs; Scotch tracks case-break inventory natively, so counts stay accurate whether you sell by the case, bottle, or single. The platform combines checkout, back office, and integrated eCommerce with margin optimization tools that flag underpriced SKUs and AI-driven ordering that builds purchase orders from real sales velocity. Automated receiving and ID scanning are built in, not separate add-ons. One all-in price covers hardware, installation, and data migration, and Scotch matches or beats your current card processing rates with no hidden fees. Founded by folks from Skupos, Drizly, and Toast, Scotch gives independent retailers specialist software without enterprise complexity.
