Checked 2026-09-02. Customer ratings come from Capterra's moderated product profiles where an exact product profile exists. Ratings and counts are point-in-time observations; themes are concise editorial syntheses of recurring review topics, not quotations. A missing profile or zero reviews means insufficient evidence, not a zero-star rating. Customer ratings are never averaged or blended with our editorial scores. Read the moderated reviews.
A strong fit for independent full-service restaurants wanting modular restaurant software.
