Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Epos Now

  • Hardware is often placed on a finance agreement with a third party, so cancelling the software subscription leaves the equipment payments running for the remainder of the term.
  • Software, hardware finance and card processing are three separate agreements with different notice periods, which makes a clean exit difficult and is the source of most published complaints.
  • The vendor makes its margin on payment processing, so the low advertised software price is offset by a card rate that costs far more across a year of trading.
  • Sales is telesales led and buyers report pressure to sign quickly, which is a poor fit for a decision involving multi year finance commitments.
  • Useful capability is spread across paid add ons in the application store, so the functional system a restaurant actually needs costs considerably more than the entry subscription.

Rezku POS

  • Platform exclusivity: only available on iPad, excluding Android, Windows, and other platforms limiting deployment flexibility
  • Payment processing lock-in: requires use of Rezku Pay proprietary payment processing with no ability to negotiate rates or switch
  • Hardware reliability issues: card readers have 30-day warranty with frequent connectivity issues and premature failures
  • Limited integration options: the list of integrations is solid but shorter than competitors with less third-party support
  • No free trial: requires sales team demos rather than offering self-service trial access

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Epos Now: Is the hardware bought or leased?

Frequently financed through a third party agreement rather than bought outright. Ask explicitly which it is and read the term before signing.

Rezku POS: What platforms does Rezku POS support?

Rezku POS exclusively operates on iPad and does not support Android, Windows, or other platforms. This hardware exclusivity may limit deployment flexibility for some restaurants.

Source
Epos Now: Can I cancel the software and keep trading?

You can stop the subscription, but a separate hardware finance agreement continues to its own end date, and processing is contracted separately again.

Rezku POS: Does Rezku POS include online ordering?

Yes, Rezku POS includes white-label online ordering, which restaurants can brand and integrate into their own websites. It also includes delivery dispatch management capabilities.

Source
Epos Now: Do I have to use their card processing?

It is the commercial basis of the pricing. Using another acquirer, where permitted, changes the software quote.

Rezku POS: What are Rezku's customer support hours?

Rezku provides 24/7 US-based customer support with quick response times through multiple channels including phone, chat, and email. Support is considered a standout strength of the platform.

Source
Epos Now: Is it suitable for a busy full service restaurant?

It handles straightforward hospitality service. Complex coursing, large table management and high volume kitchens are better served by restaurant specific systems.

Rezku POS: Does Rezku lock you into their payment processing?

Yes, Rezku requires users to use their proprietary Rezku Pay payment processing. Users cannot negotiate rates or switch to a cheaper processor, which is a significant pricing lock-in.
