Pros from Real Users Pros They always explain in full things that I need to know about the system. They always make me feel welcome when I make the call. They are always kind when speaking to me. I called multiple times as I needed some assistance with some setting our Silverware system, the waiting time on a line was not long, they fixed my issues promptly without any problems. I really like all the different reports that are available under the Silverware platform. They allow you to really dig into the numbers to see which areas of the business are thriving and which areas need improvement. This is especially useful in the accounting department when doing our Daily Business Reports. All interconnected and support is easy to get ahold of, realativly easy software to learn, and easy enough to train new hirers on. The system is user friendly, and the installer Michael was very helpful and provided the training for all restaurant staff. Ease of use, simple set up and removal of buttons. Easy to go from one page to another. simple layout All the different reports that are available are extremely helpful for a variety of reasons. The Silverware reporting allows me to complete our daily revenue reports for our leadership which is extremely valuable to be able to compare to previous years/days/months and also see where we are based on our budget. User-friendly interface and intuitive navigation Efficient table management and POS system Reliable reporting and analytics tools Responsive customer support Most customer support people seem more knowledgeable in the last 6 months compared to several years ago.		Pros from Real Users Pros I love Square, well for the time I used it for. I sold Lularoe and this was so nice to be able to use during shows. People could just come up, buy what they want with the card reader and then all of the receipts were automatically compiled at the end and I was good to go. Very easy to use and they have great point of sale systems to be able to set up in a retail or business establishment.
