### "SpotOn and Great Customer Service"

May 16, 2025

5.0

It's been great. I recently had an issue that Client Success Partner \[sensitive content hidden\] helped me out with and exceeded my expectations! She helped me resolve a transition issue from my old POS and allowed us to close the book on it completely. Very much appreciated!

Pros

The user interface is ahead of the game when it comes to other POS's. Also, the tech and application support is top notch. It took a bit of getting used to, but once we did, it was a huge improvement over our old system. That and the online ordering capabilities as well as the Doordash Direct functionality make it a win win for us.

Cons

It took a bit of getting used to once we implemented. I'm not sure if it's the fact that we were with our old system for many years prior and we were used to it, but relearning was the hardest part.

Updating the system was required. We had multiple systems in place that were disconnected from each other. From Loyalty to multiple third parties are now integrated under one house that make it so much easier to use on a daily basis.

### "SpotOn its Amazing!!!"

August 22, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Spoton has been exceptional. The platform is powerful, intuitive, and tailored to meet the unique needs of complex businesses. With expert support from \[sensitive content hidden\], I always feel confident navigating their tools and growing my business.

Pros

Spoton is a top-tier payment processing and digital marketing company that truly understands the needs of modern businesses. Their platform handles complex menu modifiers seamlessly, making it perfect for restaurants with intricate setups. The customizable reports provide deep insights to drive smarter decisions. Their email marketing and loyalty programs are easy to use and highly effective. Online ordering with built-in discounts adds tremendous value. What really sets Spoton apart is their outstanding customer service—especially from \[sensitive content hidden\], whose expertise and support are second to none. Highly recommended for businesses seeking a powerful, all-in-one solution.

Cons

One area where Spoton could improve is communication with their development team—feature requests or technical issues sometimes take longer than expected to be addressed. Additionally, the offline mode for taking transactions isn't as seamless as it could be, which can be a challenge during internet outages. These issues don’t outweigh the platform’s strengths, but they’re worth noting for businesses with high-volume, always-on operations.

### "SPOT ON is the WORST POS SYSTEM"

March 25, 2026

1.0

We purchased the spot on POS system about a two months ago for our restaurant. It has been a total disaster to say the least. The problems started almost immediately when they missed the installation date that we both agreed to. When they did finally install, their technician was an unprofessional buffoon. Upon arrival he disconnected our AV system and our back office system that was supposed to remain running until we could transfer over our gift cards. After unplugging everything, he then determined our wiring wasn’t sufficient for the new system. Mind you this is a few hours before we need to open for the day. Once he finally figured out the wiring was fine, he installed the system. 4 terminals and 8 handhelds along with several printers. Once the system was turned on, we noticed there were many missing items, buttons, categories, etc. all of which had been worked on and discussed in several zoom programming meetings. Now the fun starts. Prices are wrong, discounts are added instead of subtracted, gratuity can’t be added, printers malfunction, systems lose connectivity to the internet, handhelds don’t work, back up cell service fails, tickets won’t print to the kitchen, the list continues. The next day brought a fresh new set of challenges, including categories disappearing and previous day programming corrections being erased. As I sit here a month after system start up, problems still persist. All I can do is warn anyone thinking about purchasing this system regrets. We are still having problems with the system, accurate reporting, credit card processing and their ability to fix many of the problems with the system.

Pros

I originally purchased this system to replace my existing system. I wanted the cloud based system that wouldn’t fail during power outages and the handhelds were also a bonus.

Cons

It’s really hard to come up with a least favorite when there are so many issues that have gone wrong. I guess I would have to say Spot On’s inability to fix the problems is the biggest problem we have currently

### "Ok POS, terrible developer experience - 26 days and still no API key"

April 14, 2026

2.0

SpotOn is a fine POS for in-store transactions. The product works. But the developer experience is nonexistent. We are building online ordering for a coffee shop that opens this week. The POS is installed, the website is live, the API spec is written. SpotOn is the only bottleneck. There is no escalation path, no public developer email that works (partner-support@ bounces), and no visibility into where your request sits in their pipeline.

Pros

In-store POS works well. Card processing is reliable. The hardware is solid. Reporting dashboard is decent for a restaurant operation.

Cons

API access process is broken. 26 days from first request to receiving a Google Form — not credentials, a form. No self-serve developer portal. No sandbox. No timeline given at any step. Stripe gives you keys in 30 seconds. Square gives you a sandbox in 2 minutes. SpotOn makes you email three people, wait through OOO auto-replies, and fill out an intake form just to start the approval process. If your business depends on a custom integration, budget a month of waiting.

Overall I would say average except for Customer Service. It is great. Terminals don't hold cellular as well as handhelds.

Pros

Customer Service from \[sensitive content hidden\] and Sales Representative \[sensitive content hidden\]. Cellular backup works well on handhelds.

Cons

Reports, Contest setup poor, Enterprise Reporting, flexibility of moving certain items on ticket command screens, handheld connectivity issues

### "Big liable problem with taxes and sales tax"

November 22, 2025

1.0

Horrible . for accountting. Need to go to 10 different widow for report. Sales tax is not properly counted. Found myself liable with big sales tax amount. They didn't have an answer for that. they they said next month it will be adjusted which it didn't .Also if a ticket still open at closing .it automatically close the ticket but as Item sold. So you pay tax on it even if you didn't received the money . They told me that I have to adjust it in my general ledger. but the 1099E will be showing a big difference since it's not corrected on their end.

Pros

Not much . beside I regret to change. They told me that it's exactly the same than toast but the Credit card fee a lot cheaper

Cons

Credit card Refund processed is not friendly . And Can not make a cash refund next day . Need to make a paid out to refund the customer. So it's not really accouting friendly since paid out is not made for that.So you pay tax on the sale, and Sales tax is not properly deducted.

### "Do not buy this POS"

September 27, 2025

1.0

This is the absolute worst POS system I have used in my 20+ years in the industry. I have been working with this system for almost five years now and it is absolutely terrible. You create a tab for a customer and it just completely disappears sometimes! I've had $300 bar tabs completely disappear and then have to try and remember everything the guest ordered to re-ring it. We have lost so much money using this system. Our equipment finally got replaced after our old terminals were crashing daily. We built a new restaurant and made the mistake of sticking with Spoton. Their Website team takes months to make the simplest changes. I bought my system from a third party so I can't even go through Spoton's customer service. The whole deal is sketchy and a huge inconvenience. The handhelds can't even reach my patio tables even though we are well within the required sq footage.

Pros

Nothing. It is terrible. There is not one good thing about this system. Customer service is clueless and rude.

Cons

The constant computer crashes, lost tickets, not for high volume restaurants. System doesn't allow even the most basic functions of a POS. Ten steps to do anything. It took me months to get my menu properly imported into their system and I am still having to call them daily because something changed in the settings and now everything's ringing in wrong. Servers hate it. Bar hates it.

Too much problems with the company. Over sale the products. Different departments. Thanks to the help of \[sensitive content hidden\] , I found a resolution for the issues I have. Only good thing for now

Pros

The Online Orders and the opportunity to make delivery without pay a lot to Doordash. Good marketing tools

Cons

Bad communication and over sale product. The installation is complicated and take too long to get the menu. Need better explanation about the percent and cost of services. Too many departments to resolve issues.

### "A Restaurant‑Focused All‑in‑One Platform"

April 27, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with SpotOn was positive and well‑rounded, particularly for restaurant‑focused operations. The platform stands out for its all‑in‑one approach, combining POS, online ordering, marketing, and reporting into a single system that supports day‑to‑day efficiency. I found the interface intuitive for staff, and the restaurant‑specific tools helped streamline operations while providing useful insights into sales and customer behavior. That said, some aspects of the platform felt less flexible when it came to customization and advanced reporting. Certain configurations required additional steps or support, which could slow down implementation for more complex needs. Despite this, SpotOn remains a strong, restaurant‑centric solution that delivers solid functionality and value, especially for businesses looking for an integrated system designed with operators in mind.

Pros

What I liked most about SpotOn was its all‑in‑one approach tailored specifically for restaurants. The platform combines POS, online ordering, reservations, marketing, and reporting in a way that feels cohesive and practical for day‑to‑day operations. I especially appreciated how intuitive the system is for staff and how it provides useful insights to help operators better understand sales performance and customer behavior. The restaurant‑first focus made it feel purpose‑built rather than generic.

Cons

What I liked least about SpotOn was that some areas of the platform felt less flexible and more rigid to customize, particularly when tailoring workflows or reports to specific business needs. While the system is generally intuitive, certain features required additional steps or support to configure properly. There were also occasional limitations in reporting depth, which made deeper analysis more challenging for more complex operational needs.

### "SpotOn misled me while I had a decent service for a few months with what was then transparent pricing. "

August 26, 2024

1.0

SpotOn advertised to me stellar rates, low fees, and a free machine, so I signed up to process cards with my business. Everything went well for a few months until I looked at my bank statement and saw that they started charging me more for the same program. Nothing changed on my end and my revenue stayed consistent. It took me a while to get in touch with someone to discuss and eventually cancel. They did not make me pay any penalties but nobody could provide me a valid reason as to why I had to pay more every single month without mention. I cancelled. Bad end experience overall.

Pros

SpotOn does provide a competitive price for CC processing and POS systems included. They advocate cash discount pricing to eliminate credit card fees. They have multiple support lines. Month to month agreement no penalties for exiting.

Cons

SpotOn increased my monthly fee rate without telling me. I had a $25/month POS system usage fee with a free Pax A920 Pro to use. Over time without mention, it went to $40 and then $50. I could not have anybody explain to me what happened. Not a fan of misleading pricing and undercuts. I cancelled.

### "Regret switching to Spoton"

April 15, 2022

1.0

Customer service is typically easy to get ahold of. They try but sometimes it is beyond them and they send you up the chain and that is where I found that I got really no where. I couldn't figure out sales originally and I get passed to different people. A month later kind of figured it out but extremely time consuming. Due to flaws in the system. Supposedly going to get fixed but who knows when and it will not revert back so it will only be going forward. I personally would have not made the switch and now I know to ask a lot more detailed questions. Ask to see marketing. Ask to see reports and understand what the numbers mean and how it ties out.

Pros

I liked that Door Dash delivery was built into the system. Eventually got the menu setup the way I want it to look but it took a lot of hours and creative ways of getting it into the POS and then online ordering. Hours put in by me via customer support as they were not that helpful in regards to this.

Cons

The reporting is horrible. I need 3 reports to book 1 day sales. There are 3 different websites vs everything being on 1 website. You can't do a refund for an online order. You are required to call customer support or go to yet another website and request the refund. Only refunds that you can do is if remove the credit card info and reenter it. Menu creation did not go well. There is no audit trail and things are to easy to change. As soon as you change something there is no going back. It is done and updated. Should have a confirm before changing. Things would randomly change over night. I believe that Spoton people would go in and think they are fixing something but it would make it worse. Implementation did not go well due to so many menu issues. Ended up need to duplicate a number of items one for online ordering and one for the POS due to they don't work together. Some reports you can't view more than 1 day a time. Day of the week starts on a Monday vs a Sunday. Extremely annoying for me. Weekly reports are Monday - Sunday. Cant find a way to fix this. Marketing and loyalty are a joke. Marketing campaign does not tell you how much sales were done via a click through the campaign. The templates for marketing are not very good. If you still consider Spoton after this do not go for the marketing. There are better options out there for the same or less price. Sales tax has different amounts in the same report. They say to ignore one. So remove it.

### "A Bit of a Roller Coaster"

May 28, 2024

I was really excited to get information about SpotOn, especially since I knew the sales rep personally. After many conversations, my company finally gave the green light, but that's when some of the wheels started to come off. Communication was greatly lacking about next steps and what we could expect or needed to do on our side. There wasn't a confirmation of what equipment I needed, and we weren't set up to run different revenue centers like I had requested, so we're still not up and running where we need to be. Implementation and installation team have been great, very helpful, we're just not getting the support and guidance we had expected, and feel a little left in the dark.

Pros

It's not an app in the way that Square is, and the handheld devices don't have to rely on wi-fi, it's also fairly user-friendly Implementation and Installation teams have been great

Cons

Once we got the new system approved, we felt a bit ghosted by our rep. I am still waiting on the rest of my equipment, and still waiting for the rest of my organization to get properly set up and haven't received any follow ups.

### "SpotOn for Independent restaurant"

September 9, 2021

5.0

So far our experience has been very positive. The way the online store integrates to the POS is terrific, allowing us pinpoint control over what we sell, where and when. Adding and 86ing items is a breeze which prevents unhappy customers and the handheld units we use supplement our workflow and make us more efficient. Thew QR codes are also a timely addition to our arsenal and our customers use them for both menu exploration as well as payment and ordering.

Pros

The software is very robust. We don't use even a fraction of it's capabilities but it's great to know we have room to grow when we are ready. 24/7 tech support is a Godsend since there are always questions with any system. Knowing I can pick up the phone and speak with someone (usually within 3 minutes) and get answers is hugely important.

Cons

There is a learning curve, mostly because the system is so capable and far reaching. Occasionally, the sheer number of options proved a little daunting, but that's when speaking with a person in real time becomes so important. They are a great resource as a learning too, too.
