Great POS system for small retailers
Beoordeeld op 24-5-2021
I'd recommend Lightspeed to anyone. I've used the cloud-based platform in a baby boutique and a home/gift shop. It's served us well in both settings. All our employees have been able to use the system without difficulty and the analytics have given us an advantage in managing operations.
Pluspunten
Back-end setup is pretty simple and user interface for point of sale is easy and forgiving. Our '72 year old non-computer literate' retail associate was able to master it in no time. Customer support is also top notch.
Minpunten
There are a few small issues - refunds are a multi-step process, and setting up the ecom website didn't feel as intuitive as it could be. (I did talk with customer service about this. They agree the process could be streamlined and are in the process of rolling out a new setup process shortly.)

Great system
Beoordeeld op 28-9-2018
Pluspunten
Great easy system to use. Easy to change payment methods and products and downloading and updating on excel also possible. Just starting to sync with Xero so that’s good too. Customer support really has improved massively since we started using it 2 years ago. I would recommend as a good all rounder.
Minpunten
Reporting in close detail has been a tricky one but with Kounta insights it seems to be improving although I think it’s still work in progress.

Too Much Work
Beoordeeld op 3-6-2021
Liked the idea of the loyalty program but it was too fiddly to set up and maintain, so that ended up being a massive waste of resources.
Pluspunten
Lots of different bells and whistles and the developers are willing to work with you to customize a solution.
Minpunten
Too much work to stand up and too much work to keep running. The system crashed all the time and has to be constantly updated, revitalized, refreshed, and worked on in the back end.

Absolutely fantastic product, team, and set up.
Beoordeeld op 14-2-2017
While originally using a completely outdated and problematic POS system, we were put in touch with the team at Kounta. They were explained as being the most genuine team in the business, but always on hand to help and with a system which really spoke for itself.
Not only was the recommendation totally correct, I am now the one spreading the word of just how simple the transition was, and how happy we are with the product.
Not only is it a really easy system to set up and organise, especially with the helpful team over at Tech Panty - a shout out to Andy who is such a 'yes-man' and always on the problem solving case - , we were completely changed over on such a tight time limit with absolutely no stress from our end.
We've been up and running for a few weeks now, and staff members who were completely dedicated to the old systems are now totally sold on the new system Kounta has provided. It is an easy system to set up, use on a day to day basis and fills all of the reporting tick boxes you can have.
The fact that these teams have worked in hospitality really shows through the product; it's set up like it has been trialed for a number of years with all issues that could have arisen already ironed out.
10/10.
Pluspunten
The ease of use, and the simplicity of the screens.
Minpunten
Nothing.

Kounta for Cafe Use
Beoordeeld op 12-3-2017
We have found Kounta to be excellent for our cafe. Staff need no maths skills to operate it easily. the addition of photos makes product selection fast and accurate.
The only thing to watch is disgruntled staff that have been removed from rosters........they can sabotage the system by changing or deleting things. My advice, once they have been given notice immediately remove their access to Kounta and give them other duties until their time has been completed.
Pluspunten
Overcomes the issue of staff not being able to read or do any math.
Provides multiple copies of invoices so that service can easily be tracked.
Allows lots of options to modify products which gives each client an individual experience.
Minpunten
Takes ages to set up if you have hundreds of products and options......but it is worth doing.

Awsome POS system! Easy for staff, easy for management. Outstanding customer service!
Beoordeeld op 4-4-2018
Pluspunten
Can manage from anywhere. Easy to update products on prices on the spot. Great reporting and crm. Love that you only have to use functions that you require.
Minpunten
I would like to be able to view only POS from device which is not assigned as register. Also, not sure if already available, but we would like to be able to process gift certificates through the till easily.

Count on Kounta
Beoordeeld op 5-4-2017
Kounta is the best point of sale.
I have set up five different POS systems since 2000 and Kounta is by far the best and most flexible.
Our business could not have grown as quickly, successfully or efficiently without it.
Absolutely love the production printing set up. Nothing compares.
Team this with Tyro EFTPOS and it's a total winner for fast bar service.
Pluspunten
Production printing and cloud operation

Works well and very simple to use.
Beoordeeld op 9-7-2018
Ease of use. Good reporting.
Pluspunten
It's ease of use is the most compelling feature. The reports are reasonably comprehensive too. Great for a hospitality start-up.
Minpunten
There are occassional troubles with printing, where the software somehow loses the fixed IP address of a printer. This is usually temporary, however. It's need to be connected to the Internet is also a con. Whilst it works a little offline, it does become unusable quickly.

The best customer service and support I have experienced!
Beoordeeld op 11-2-2019
I am new to the hospitality industry and there is so much to learn and I need to learn fast. Kounta's excellent customer service and support has helped me tremendously to streamline my sales and to look professional. With so much to learn in the beginning, it was comforting to have a friendly voice always on the other side of the phone to assist me , and all the staff at Kounta have always been very patient with me (when I don't understand). Service like this is rare, and I absolutely appreciate it. I will always be loyal to this Company and will recommend it to everyone. Kounta has a fantastic product and they have the support to match it in order for you to utilize your products to the fullest and get value for your money. Thank you for a great product but even greater customer service and support!
Pluspunten
The support and customer service. It is no use to have an excellent product and the user don't know how to use it. Kounta matches their excellent product with excellent support.
Minpunten
I have not anything negative to say about this product.

Terrible Integration with XERO
Beoordeeld op 17-7-2018
Pluspunten
Daily monitoring of the sales
History of sales figures
taking the orders at the till although couple of times it started to update in the busy time without asking
Minpunten
- Updating without asking on busy times in front of customers
- Frequent disruptions
- Very poor integration with XERO, multiple times we had to export the reports manually and recently they changed the whole thing and the reports of three months did not export to XERO and it's very complicated to setup and retrieve the data. Customer service and support was poor as well
- It's very expensive and not value for money

Great POS system for all to use
Beoordeeld op 17-2-2017
As our venue is a social enterprise employing people with a disability and or mental health issue, we require a user-friendly POS that can assist with Literacy and numeracy while being an overall easy to use system.
Kounta is perfect for what we required.
Thanks Kounta

Pluspunten
Functionality and easy to use. Effective reward system, our customers get rewards and they can see their points accruing
Minpunten
it won't just take phone numbers to allow changing profiles, with so many email promotions these days, not many customers want emails. If you can manipulate the points with just a phone number that would be great

Beoordeeld op 4-6-2018
Pluspunten
Gives fantastic feedback on sales by hour and type even at the lowest payment level. Very easy to use
Minpunten
The expense. It is great feedback, but perhaps a little expensive, since POS software can be used free, it is the data crunching that seems expensive

Perfect POS
Beoordeeld op 14-4-2017
We have been using Kounta in our cafe for over 6 months and it is fantastic. Easy to edit, easy to use and cost effective. New staff tend to pick it up and are using it without much support within a few days.
The access to information is really good and the reporting tools are spot on.
Highly recommended!

Buggy and lack of support
Beoordeeld op 7-9-2017
Worst POS system ever. I would give zero stars if I could.
Service was dismal and a lot of bugs with the program. It seems like the program was half completed when it was released.
While it might perform at a satisfactory level when the business is relatively small and not as busy, this software clearly cannot handle when we have over 100 covers per service as there was no bugs during our quieter service period.
Absolute waste of money and time. Only consolation I have is that I can use the reuse the hardware with other POS system as it was just iPads and cash register.
Little follow up with the problems we had and when they did contact us, 90% of the time they were unable to resolve the issue. We had double prints of orders resulting in wasting and also missing prints of kitchen orders resulting in angry customers and damage to our reputation.
If you are looking to get Kounta because it is cheaper, don't bother. We were happy to get rid of it.
Pluspunten
Simplicity of the features and simple pricing structure. We were able to view all the reports remotely.
Minpunten
Buggy and full of errors especially during a busy restaurant service. Reports were insufficient and support was also unable to resolve the issues we were having.

Kounta makes POS easy
Beoordeeld op 11-1-2018
Pluspunten
Kounta is simple to use, and mostly easy to configure. Being in the cloud alleviates the need for backups and facilitates easy changing of products or prices from any device any time.
Minpunten
Some functions are a little quirky. There are also some add-ons that should ideally be part of the core product such as more advanced reporting/analysis. Also creating sandpit copies of the company to test a complete redesign before implementing would be advantageous.

Beoordeeld op 20-12-2018
I have found the system easy to use and understand, the support is excellent and no question is a problem.
When we needed a solution to a question the support went and found the answer then helped us to install the solution.
Pluspunten
The system is very user friendly and setting up from scratch is easy and quick.
Minpunten
Some features are not very flexible, we use a rule for a discount period but can only select half hopur or hour blocks a user defined option would be great.

Kounta at The Top Shop Byron Bay
Beoordeeld op 3-2-2015
Moving from our clunky till system to anything new, we expected improvements. However Kounta totally exceeded all of our expectations and taken our super busy food venue to the next level. Our staff have been so enthusiastic to use the iPad based system and training them was very quick and easy. The Kounta interface is very easy to navigate and our staff are spending more time giving the customers quality personal service.
The combination Kounta on iPads, with the speed it delivers, work flow improvements, and awesome reporting, have all combined to great effect. We have seen capacity grow, and sales increase to levels we did not think we could achieve.

Beoordeeld op 10-6-2018
Pluspunten
very straightforward and easy to use. It is compatible with Boppl, and bump it which makes much easier for the kitchen to process orders
Minpunten
The inventory is a bit complicated, we have to add all the ingredient for every dish, I don't know if there are better inventory management software in the market, this one is complicated.
