-Eliminate third-party fees with direct integration online ordering.
-Perfect host operations and increase revenue with guest management.
-Access all your restaurant data from anywhere and 24/7 with the cloud-based system.

In addition, owners can expand their restaurant management system by adding tableside ordering or QR code payment functionality.

-Customer payment is more secure since their card never leaves their sight.
-QR codes printed directly on receipts give your restaurant a fast and touchless way to accept payments.


Key benefits of CAKE POS

Independent and mid-size restaurant chains will appreciate CAKE’s restaurant management system.

For Independent owners, the POS will replace their current system and give them cloud-based technology. This will open the door to much faster and more organized restaurant management.

For small to mid-size chains looking to extend the service of the existing POS system, CAKE’s robust software can empower staff to perform tasks much faster, which allows for faster table turns and more revenue.

Overall, owners can expect an easy-to-use, durable, bezel-less 15-inch touchscreen where staff can use the CAKE POS to:

-Place orders.
-Manage reservations and seating.
-Process payments.
-Manage menus.
-Modify items.
-Manage online ordering to reduce digital walkaways.
-Send order updates to curbside pickup customers.
-Organize labor cost reporting.
-Schedule employees.

To complete the restaurant management system, owners can grow through reporting and dashboards that perform various functions:

-Analyze menu items that bring you the most sales.
-See what sales are trending over time.
-See what days and shifts are the busiest.
-See employees' sales, voids, discounts, and hours.
-Real-time dynamic reports are stored in the cloud and accessible through a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
-Filter your data to understand exactly what is going in your restaurant.
-Refine data by employee, payment type, order type, and more.
-Download reports through CSV and PDF downloads.

I got an affordable, and effective solution for my POS system needs. We all have found the menus and programming to be easy

Pros

The price is the most attractive feature, as well as the ease of use. The flexible and affordable monthly payments are nice too.

Cons

Can't use terminal when someone is using the manager functions on other terminal. There are some short delays in running reports at times.

Response from Mad Mobile

Who Doesn't LOVE CAKE?

Reviewed on 30/03/2021

The data that CAKE provides me is incredibly valuable to our business. We love it!

The data that CAKE provides me is incredibly valuable to our business. We love it!

Pros

We don't spend any time on training new team members to use our POS System (CAKE). Seriously, it's so easy we show them a few features and they are running it like a pro on day one. That in it's self has saved us a ton of payroll we use to spend on training.
From a ownership perspective, we have four locations and I'm able to track them from my central office, Wonderful!

Cons

Negatives only fall on one piece of the equipment. The cash drawer and the insert in it are not built for the type of abuse they can take in some operations. I wish there was an option to purchase extra drawer inserts.
There are no other negatives about CAKE.

Alternatives Considered

Square Point of Sale, Clover and Toast POS

Reasons for Choosing CAKE POS

To provide my customers a better more efficient experience and to allow our team members an easy to use system that we as owners could easily track.

Reasons for Switching to CAKE POS

Cake seemed to have a more durable product. The biggest reason was....When I spoke with all the sales staff from the different companies the CAKE representatives were the only ones that never talked negatively about their competitors. That let me know they didn't need to degrade the other guys, they had faith in the system they were selling. I now have the same faith in CAKE.

I can't think of anything this POS does better than the one we replaced. If it wouldn't crash all the time, we could benefit from not having the servers leave the floor to put orders in and run credit cards, but since they are constantly crashing, we don't have that benefit.

Pros

Easy to use interface.
Order Pads should allow servers to spend more time on the floor
Inexpensive POS System.

Cons

It doesn't work when we need it to. We've been trying to get the issues resolved via Cake Support and Sysco Management for more than 8 months. It isn't getting any better. As soon as the dining room gets busy the Order Pad Apps crashes. All of our servers need to have paper and pencil ready at all times to complete their orders and stand in line at the terminal to enter them every rush. It seldom happens when we are slow. Orders get lost during entry causing double work to recover the in flight order, after printing in the kitchen causing them not to be charged on the customer's bill, and customer credit cards have been double billed as a result of Order Pad disconnects. We are spending hours with Cake Support that we should be spending working our business. We have to keep 1 person available to capture trouble shooting information for Cake Support during our rushes when (not if) the Order Pads go down. Cake Support is always busy, but will eventually call back. When they do, they aren't very knowledgeable with troubleshooting, they don't seem to be trained to go any deeper than the Cake University screens. The cheap price of the Cake system has become a huge expense in manpower and wasted time in our restaurant.
