The customer service makes it a great choice. I never feel like I'm alone trying to figure something out. We've had the system for a year now and I think that once you get how it works it is a lot easier to work your way through issues because the way it is set up is consistent. Pros The customer service and support is top notch. I know, no matter what, I can get a real person to help me find solutions. Everyone is always so wonderful to work with and their dedication to finding solutions is amazing. Cons There are some things that I wish the system could do. I wish that I could add questions to etam purchasing without being able to write html. Actually more etam options without html would be great. I wish I could use skus in more than one event without there being issues. I wish I could have different times and admission numbers for different sessions under the same event.

It helps make daily business run smoothly. Pros It’s easy to use and troubleshoot if needed. I especially enjoy the option to add or update groups or categories depending upon the needs of the business. Cons The system processes slower than expected. In particular, when processing credit card payments the system reacts slowly throughout the day.

The people are great. If they can't answer a question the get back to us in a timely matter Pros I like the customer support I call them a lot. I like that it keeps my field trips in order. I like the fact we can use the weather, and it will graph stuff for us. I love the way I can input stuff in our gift shop with pictures Cons Doing inventory of the gift should be easier. There is a lot more steps to make a membership. I don't like that some reports aren't the actual numbers. They get rounded. When working with money it should always be exact. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) They couldn't help us anymore.

It has always been easy to tweak the options of what we are currently selling, and everyone I work with understands the system quite well for the most part and has no problem getting it set up and running smoothly! Pros It is so quick, simple, and easy to work. If there are ever any problems it’s also never been difficult to solve or even to get ahold of the company to ask for simple solutions. Cons The only problem I’ve ever had is the system occasionally can get laggy but it just needs a simple restart or even a refresh to get it working back to normal again. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Our company decided that TAM was much more consistent with our ideals and is super simple to coordinate and work with!

We have found some bugs as we’ve used the program over the past 2 years, but help desk has always helped us find a solution. Pros The program is easy to use, help desk is always available, and it’s easy to customize for our specific business needs. Cons Not having certain capabilities or odd work around a for events and session. Missing out on some reporting capabilities and filter options for our business.

Pros the ability to have separate systems and logins for staff the training seminars leading into the program. Cons the quick tabs. not as detailed as i would like. the reports are not my favorite i personally like more detail.

The customer service is exceptional and I think that has a lot to do with their team really wanting to help their customers. Pros I like that it gives us a snapshot of each individual to see the various ways that they interact with our organization. Cons I'm not a fan of how they define an event and a program. This would have been nice to have these defined as they are used for most nonprofits. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) The product we used was called Quickbooks Point of Sale and it is not a choice in the products we switched from. They discontinued it. Alternatives considered [Veevart](https://www.capterra.com/p/155877/Veevart/) Reasons for choosing The Assistant Manager Price, and I liked that they were local to our museum.

The Retail and Admissions software is easy to use and helps me understand my clientele better as well as manage our inventory and sales thoroughly and thoughtfully. Pros Customer support at TAM is number one; I feel like they really take care of you to make sure you understand how to use the software and to make sure it is operating as it should. They are so patient with our specific university museum needs. Secondly, I love how easy the POS is to use, and to train on. I love how much information I can gather for admissions and events at the museum. It's made tracking ticket types so simple and clear. Cons It took me a few tries to find reports that I like to use. Some of the reports don't give me everything I need in one, so I have to use multiple reports to review KPI data. Switched from [Cumulus Retail](https://www.capterra.com/p/173200/Cumulus-Retail/) Cumulus Retail did not have an admissions feature for our museum.

Server Food & Beverages ### "You Get What You Pay For" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 July 21, 2021 Pros Splitting checks, if you have correct seat numbers to begin with, is a good option. Cons Sometimes you get what you pay for. Using TAM for strictly retail might work out just fine, but for food and beverage service this system is a living nightmare. TAM constantly has errors that pop up that keep you from working, not to mention it lags all the time. This system is not user friendly in any way and actually feels like the creators went out of their way to make it as confusing as possible for the user. There is absolutely no visual organization on the screen when entering food/beverage orders and there is no option to highlight and repeat a previously made order, which when dealing with manually typing out complicated food and drink orders is imperative for saving precious time. The split check option is nice if you are sure you’ve correctly placed each item on the correct seat number, but once again the lack of visual organization on screen leads to frequent mistakes even with this. And if you are given multiple types of payments, such as half card and half cash, on an individual check among a table of split checks you might as well forget it. Even paying out one individual person from a tab that has other orders on it is complicated and forces you to change the number of guests, remove the tab and change the name of the tab before continuing further. And if you enter the wrong numbers in when settling a tab you are only given one chance to correct it. Overall, TAM let’s everyone down and has employees and management alike pulling out our hair on a regular basis.
