## Reviews

### "Very simple to use. Lacks some features that other similar softwares would offer." — 3.0/5

> **Blaine** | *13 March 2018* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very simple to work with. Easy to train new team members to use. Does cut down on amount of time to open and close business days. Updates every 15 minutes showing sales and labor.
> 
> **Cons**: Software doesn't allow a deep drill down on inventory and how it relates to items sold. Software can only be used on file server, this makes counting inventory more complicated.
> 
> Daily up to date information about the business day.

### "Great Product\!" — 5.0/5

> **Becky** | *25 October 2021* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integrating Smartlynx in our platform was very seemless and the dev team was willing to assist in any way.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes there are features that we need.  But we work with the dev team and they are willing to work with us to add those features.
> 
> Our experience has been a very positive one.  Anything we need they are always willing to listen and assist.

### "Smartlynx Review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *05 June 2023* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Smartlynx is nice, integrates decently well with other systems, and receives active development. The development schedule is open to billed requests to enable new features or improvements.
> 
> **Cons**: Smartlynx is hard to navigate and the menu option are less than clear on the exact impact and scope they have. This is something you can learn over time and with use but its not something you can expect new people to understand with little oversight.

### "Outstanding Service" — 5.0/5

> **Mona** | *14 March 2024* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The reports and our Customer Account Manager.  Outstanding service and incredibly detail oriented and matriculas.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing that I can think of at the moment ... Oh, I don't like how often I have to change my password.
> 
> We love using smart lynx. If there is a report we need and it is not available we are able to get one made on our behalf.  I cant say enough about our service from our account manager - \[sensitive content hidden\]. There are really no words to describe her service.
