Our credit card figures which aren’t part of what we were informed we’d pay when acquiring this system keep changing and the support team isn’t helpful in resolving this issue.
Operating it is simple, it is natural, inexpensive, and it produces amazing reports.
The overview per product doesn’t have an additional column bearing the amount collected for the sales tax making it time consuming downloading other reports to combine the figures.
Vend offers a lot of useful tools that help me in creating my inventory.
I am glad to have Vend in my life.
Terrible client care service
Has a rather clean GUI
Horrible backend, terrible support, etc.
Vend helped us get the business going when our budget was very limited. Setup and operation were very easy and if there were more functions we would have used those too. But we had to switch to a more expensive software reluctantly. But Vend was very helpful in most aspects of the business.
Vend is a user-friendly and great help for us in our start-up phase in our brewery. We use Vend at a retail store and taproom bar for about six months.
There is a lack of complexity though in using the software in terms of using the tabs. There is a tab/layaway function we used as a workaround but not meant for this purpose.
