Lavu works well for small companies.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We started with Lave as our POS system for both the cafe and event services within our establishment. After the cafe closed, we continued to use Lavu for our events. Lavu is used to ring up customer tabs at events and helps me as an accountant know how much in sales we received per type of item sold. I personally started with Lavu on the front end with ringing people up and now use it more on the back end with reporting.
Pros
- Ease of setting up, editing, and deleting menu items.
- Tracking employee hours
- General reporting
Cons
- Customer service
- Reconciling between all tablets and backend reports. Occasionally receipts go missing and are difficult to track down.
- Inventory
Most Important Features
- Quick simple way to ring up guests
- Ability to track sales
- Ability to track employee hours
Return on Investment
- Lavu does a great job tracking sales but has not helped in calculating accurate net income on sales with the lack of a good inventory system.
