Trouble with the Harbortouch POS system & poor customer service
We have had the Harbortouch POS system for over two (2) years. We regrettably signed a three (3) year contract. Since day 1, we have had nothing but trouble with the system. The system can go off line numerous times, or freeze up, throughout the day, generally when customers are waiting. This is extremely bothersome when you are trying to charge a credit card. Added to this, is that this company has one to the poorest customer service I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Today, our system went down three times during sales, with the last time the POS froze up. One was with a credit card purchase, thankfully the customer was very understanding and used cash instead. Once again we had to call customer service (which is poor) and once again we were put on hold for over 35 minutes. At first, the customer service rep said to just turn off the system, and turn back on -- rebooting ---- informed him that has already been done, then he put us on hold again. He returned to tell us that 'yes' there is 'something' wrong with their system, they are working on it, and it should be around an hour or so. When asked about credit card sales, his response was that we could always call the credit card company! Unacceptable when you are running a restaurant and the customers are waiting to pay. Customer Services' attitude appears to be that 'we have you under contract... hahaha. I know another merchant who also has Harbortouch, and has the same problems and complaints. We laughingly called the Harbortouch our "POS POS". Today was the final straw with the POS and Harbortouchc.. we are paying for a service that is not useful at best .... we have upheld our in the contract, they have not... as we told Harbortouch today.... this matter is being turned over to our attorneys to get us out of the contract. My advice to any company considering a POS system .... DO NOT go with Harbortouch... do your research. Ourselves??, we are going back to Square .. a very reliable service.
