Q: QuickBooks POS, Harbortouch, Revel POS or Square. Is it worth the investment? What do you use? What should I use?
A: Here are our reviews of POS systems that you have mentioned and our advice:
1. Don't go with QuickBooks, you will be locked for credit card processing; their system is not touch screen friendly so if you plan to be busy, that's not a good thing.
2. Harbortouch is a no-no. Their fees are not low. They lock you into processing contract and take your system if you cancel.
