We are looking at both systems. We own a marina with a separate restaurant and will run POS registers in both the marina (convenience store) and the restaurant. Would appreciate any comments from anyone familiar with either system, or especially if you went through the comparison process already and why you chose one over the other.

I didn't say which system... This is not the site for advertising. If you want to go to the tech forum on foodservice.com and start a thread I will gladly chime in.
I would not use a wireless LAN or WIFI which wouldn't do much good since you would have to be in close proximity to a high speed source for it to be connected to. I have not tried cellular air service with POS. Would work well in theory if you were on a high speed (such as Sprint 4G). Dependable Cell service can be problematic in some remote areas. I would exhaust your possibilites of a land connection DSL or Cable first!

You could always go with Ordyx as well.
Ordyx ( This innovative system allows you to monitor the daily operations of your establishment from a remote location. From anywhere in the world you can login to the Internet (PC, Mac, iPhone,etc.) and know exactly what is happening in the restaurant in terms of everything from open orders to current inventory levels. As your business grows, you can benefit from using Ordyx’ Enterprise functionality allowing you to manage multiple stores remotely (synchronized menus, consolidated reports, etc).
Different from other POS providers, Ordyx does not require a "main computer" within the restaurant. Instead, all the information regarding orders is stored in a remote main system totally supervised and managed by Ordyx staff. All you need is a fast internet connection at your restaurant. As a result, you no longer have to worry about daily maintenance issues such as backups. Additionally restaurant owners and managers can access all reporting information from anywhere in the world with a simple Internet connection. You can receive text message or email alerts from events happening at the establishment while you are away and from outside of your restaurant you can even approve Voids, Comps, etc. via a phone or computer.
