Why Choose Kalico?
- Industry Expertise: Restaurants are a really unique type of business and they need a POS system that caters to their unique needs and challenges. Unforetunatly, a lot of existing systems feel like a thinly veiled version of their retail oriented siblings. As a result it can feel like we those companies don’t understand the problems they are trying to solve. We are building and iterating on Kalico in the very restaurants we work in, not from a Silicon Valley office.
- Customer Driven: Other POS companies charge an arm and a leg but take years to add basic features. We are built on our experience but molded by customer stories and feedback. Our roadmap is an open forum for you to voice your opinions on features and help use prioritize genuinely useful features.
- Affordable: Tired of being pitched POS systems that cost a good chunk of your rent? We are! That’s why Kalico is priced to make money when you make money, not be your most overpayed employee. Further, we are transparent with our pricing, no “contact for a quote” smoke an mirrors. And, our bring-your-own-hardware (iPad or Android tablet) approach lets you get setup quick without being locked in by expensive vendor specific hardware. If you are coming from another tablet based POS, you can get started for as little as the cost of a compatibile card reader (est. ~$59).
- Beautifully Intuitive: Let’s face it, you spend way more time looking at your POS than you probably want to. So how about we make look nice and not like your aunt’s cluttered desktop? Don’t worry, all the actions you might need are still right at your fingertips. Hopefully this will stop the new server from having a panic attack the first time they split a check.
- Reliability: We know how critical it is for a POS system to be reliable. Our infrastructure is built to scale globally and to any level of demand. Our cloud bill might go up, but your system won’t go down. In a worst-case scenerio (or just a normal day for a foodtruck) you can keep business going in offline mode.
