Update: we just had a chat. He really wants to stay on the Micros system, because he and his staff know it so well. So unless there’s a homegrown type system specifically meant to emulate it, I think we’ll stay in Micros but look to upgrade.
What’s the best and latest system for a bar with two POS registers? I can then start looking into new through Micros or perhaps used system from somewhere.
I’m an IT person helping my friend who owns a bar. He can’t afford it right now, but at some point it would be good to upgrade him from his XP systems running Micros. The Micros world is pricey right? I know there are some big names out there. Is there one that guys like best?
I read some threads in here that say things like “save a lot of money and get your own computers with touchscreens.” Is there a freeware or open-source system (or low cost for that matter) that works just as well, something that’s roll-your-own, using some touchscreen PC’s? Between he and I, we could manage that pretty well, I would think, so long as it works great.
Thanks for reading and considering!
