I like being able to color code menu items. > > **Cons**: Everything. Completely unfinished, garbage program. It never actually worked -- constant crashes and bugs. > > I own a summertime ice cream shop. After 4 months of dealing with daily crashes, bugs, customer support that doesn't do anything except tell you to restart your system, did I mention crashes and bugs?, and never having the secure knowledge that this software was actually working, I'm happily ending my use of Talech software. As I'm leaving, I wanted to get a report of all the items we sold in 4 months of being open for business. Guess what? You can't. The Talech reports only allow you to look at 20 items at once. This means, if you sell 5 t-shirts styles and there are 5 sizes for each style, you can't see one report of the t-shirts you sold yesterday. Now, there is a workaround they'll tell you -- you "simply" click 20 items, save them to a spreadsheet, unclick those 20 items, click 20 new items, save them to a spreadsheet, unclick... you get the point. Did I mention that each time you click or unclick an item, it reloads your screen? And when it reloads your screen, it seemingly randomizes the locations of your items. So you can't even just go down the list of items sold clicking and unclicking, because the list changes constantly. This is a clear case of let's bring a product to market before it is ready. And charge $50 a month. For what? For software that crashes every day (I'm not kidding -- every employee had to learn the protocol for dealing with the crashes) and won't give you the reports you need to run your business. I didn't have any issues with Elavon. I've been with them longer than Talech. And yet, I'm so annoyed with the Talech software that I'm leaving Elavon as well. Going to start fresh next season. ----- ### "WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Richard** | *18 March 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. Reports. The report part of their system is fairly easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: Customer service is non existent. Tried for 2 1/2 months to get an answer regarding open tabs for my Talech system. NEVER got a call back from my rep. Then he told me his computer went down. Not sure why his phone did not work\! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH IN 40+ YEARS OF BUSINESS EXPERIENCE. DO NOT USE THEM\! YOU WILL NOT GET CALLS BACK AND THEY TRY TO SAY IT WAS AN ELAVON ISSUE\! ELAVON THROWS IT BACK ON TALECH. IT'S LIKE A DOG CHASING HIS TAIL. EVEN WHEN YOU REACH OUT TO MANAGEMENT, THEY DO NOT CALL BACK. BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME TO DEAL WITH\! RUN AWAY FROM THEM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..... > > MISERABLE, NON EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, HORRIBLE. ONCE THEY HAVE THE "SALE" YOU BECOME INVISIBLE TO THEM. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. NEVER RECEIVED CALLS BACK, WRONG EQUIPMENT SENT. I COULD TALK ABOUT THE HORRIBLE SERVICE FOR HOURS ----- ### "owner bar" — 1.0/5 > **Dominic** | *1 August 2024* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: nothing would not even give the another chance > > **Cons**: the system crashed to many times. not one day goes by where it works > > tech was never helpfull call 3 times and its always never there fault ----- ### "Avoid at all costs" — 1.0/5 > **nickie** | *30 March 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used to be good before they updated the software and now it hasnt worked right in over a year and noone cares to help. > > **Cons**: Worst company to deal with now. They used to be good when they had a different software but then they switched to new software before eliminating bugs and incomplete functionality. You cant even calculate your taxes for year end and I have been asking for this for a YEAR. Dont waste your time or money with these guys\!\!\! ----- ### "Amazing in it's price range" — 4.0/5 > **Faiyaz** | *24 July 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just love how much this has to offer in such a low price. Definitely better than it's competitors. > > **Cons**: Some minor bugs needs to be fixed.
