I started out being totally intimidated by it, but it has grown on me and now I do not want to use any other system for now.

Pros

I like all the different aspects of Semper, especially all the different reports you can generate.

Cons

Some aspects are a bit over-complicated to get a hang of if you did not receive proper training from the start, e.g. setting up rates, invoice structure, etc.

Response from Semper

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Semper. We're glad to hear that you've grown to appreciate the product, especially the variety of reports it offers. We understand your concerns about certain aspects being over-complicated without proper training, such as setting up rates and invoice structure. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving user experience and training resources.

It's fantastic to know that despite the initial intimidation, Semper has won you over, and you prefer it over other systems. We're here to support you, and if you have any specific areas you'd like assistance with or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your choice in Semper and value your feedback.

I've used other POS systems and Semper is one of the least user friendly
steps are not simple
does not take into account the pressure from waiters side in processing orders as it takes very long and becomes frustrating to use - wastes time in waiting for simple tasks to be completed (e.g. waiting for the text box to open, merging a table, splitting a table etc.)
No easy to follow User Manual for Semper Conference especially. It's difficult to understand how to use the various functions, e.g. function sheet etc. (not activated on our side)

Pros

Easy to check closed tables
Easy to re-instate closed tables
large icons for easy reading

Cons

Not user friendly
Reports are usually not very accurate or user friendly
Too many steps to complete a simple task (e.g. split and combine tables)
Very slow at times
Has many "issues" and takes very long to process table merging or voids.
Freezes often
Not reliable
Does not generate accurate reports
Not enough training done
No quick view user manual for beginners

My experience is limited to POS and Stock Control only. We do not use the reservation function for our Guesthouse. Overall, I am happy with the product since it largely does what we need it to do.

Pros

Fairly easy to use and well suited for smaller restaurants for both POS and Stock Control. The support I have received in the past has been exemplary and problems have always been resolved fast and satisfactorily.

Cons

It would be nice to have more buttons displayed on the home screen. Having to scroll through button lists take up unnecessary time and lead to mistakes. Out of stock items are not displayed on the "Stock on Hand "report. A zero would help to assess at a glance that a product is out of stock. Dockets and Invoices are not customizable. When using formatted dockets, column widths are too wide leaving very little space for product descriptions - this, by the way, is the only support ticket that has not been resolved. I miss the ability to be able to log into the system remotely via an app in order to perform functions that are not permitted by on-site staff. Currently I need to come into the restaurant to resolve problems when I am at the restaurant.

Response from Semper

Thank you very much for your feedback.It is much appreciated.
we will make a change to teh docets to include more information as you request.
I am not sure if you are aware that we have a hosted version where you can log-in at any time and view all tables, sales etc. You can also make change from anywhere.

Overall, Semper is a great management tool. It is user friendly and even if there is something we do not understand, we can call Semper and we will immediately receive help.

Pros

Semper is easy to use and every day I discover a new feature. From organizing reservations, to taking payments form guests, everything us made easier by Semper.

Cons

The accounting section of Semper needs a little more attention. Frequently we have to call Semper and ask why our invoices/statements are wrong.

Response from Semper

Thank you very much for the positive response. On the accounting side, a tremendous has been done in recent releases and we would like it very much to share that with you.
