Add-Ons to POS systems

[rekree8]

I am new to this topic, but I am trying to help a friend with a purchase decision for his restaurants. He asked me to help him gather information for his decision, so here I am in my spare time doing just that.

He currently uses Positouch for his POS system and wants to hook that up to a Microsoft Great Plains Accounting system.

He feels that there are some weaknesses in the Positouch system (for example: in house inventory management) that are weaknesses in many POS systems. To cover those weaknesses, I have found a company that has developed an add-on for many POS systems that also integrates those systems to Great Plains. The company is InStore Systems (

http://www.instoresystems.com)

and the product goes by the same name.

Does anybody have any feedback/experience with this product?

Thanks!

Did your friend end up going with this product? how many stores does he have? I am also in the stage of determining the best solution to integrate my Positouch unit with the Great Plains product......

We use a product called Restar Transmanager to integrate Aloha to several accounting systems. You may see if they have a interface to Great Plains.
