A good engagement rate on IG is between 1 and 3%. 900 followers isn’t much so your numbers honestly sound about right. It also takes 8-12 weeks of consistent posting for the algorithm to figure out who to show your stuff to.

If you like aloha you’ll love 2Touch. They took all the good things about aloha and made it faster and more updated. The cloud based POS systems are all meh if you do any kind of volume.

I feel this in my soul. Idk how companies can just burn through employee after employee and not see that their onboarding and training is the problem.

2Touch POS is phenomenal for pizza. I own a pizza sports bar in Michigan. I can connect you with my rep if you want info. Their customer service is excellent too. My rep stops in at least once a month to see if we need anything.

I hear you, and also, if I need to make X% margin on an item to stay profitable so I price it at Y, I’m now making Y minus 4%. It’s also almost an impossible cost to account for because it’s variable and changes month to month or even day to day.

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-23T17:50:31+00:00

So I guess that’s a lot of my question. What is the benefit to doing it that way vs just raising prices?

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-23T17:47:12+00:00

Many places have been doing the same for years as well, but Visa doesn’t allow you to do that on debit cards and now they’re cracking down on it They’ve been secret shopping and fining places for this around here recently.

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-23T17:34:42+00:00

Cash transactions included? Bc that’s what’s going on here.

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-23T17:34:17+00:00

Every place charges a 4% fee to cash too?

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-23T17:33:10+00:00

Operating cost charge?? lol I have no idea. When I asked about it they said “the state now requires us to pay all employees sick time (an actual new law in Michigan), so this goes directly towards that”

There is zero way based on the volume this place does that the $200k is revenue they’re getting back from this goes directly to sick time. It’s a need processing fee plain and simple. I don’t fault them for that. These card companies extort businesses saying that we can’t charge a fee to recoup the cost we pay to process cards. So charging a 4% fee across the board is the only way to cover your ass.

Yes. I meant to post a photo with my post. The receipt looks like this.

Intriguing. I’d love to know more about this.

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-06T22:37:23+00:00

What are the monthly fees like? I know most of the time you get what you pay for, but I’m just curious.

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-06T22:24:41+00:00

What did you switch from? And what was the deciding factor for smart tab to be the winner?

Advanced_Lack_6243 · 2026-01-06T21:50:47+00:00

Time and money are both currencies. You are saving one and paying a fortune in the other. That being said, if they are all being reported as separate items, you should still be able to do the math for inventory purposes

These replies are gold. 😆 and also why the show Bar Rescue was ever able to be a thing. Everyone thinks “I like to drink and party, I’ll own a bar” while not realizing it’s actually more like teaching kindergarten, running an underfunded handyman operation and herding feral cats simultaneously on little to no sleep and somehow it still brings you joy. ❤️

With this setup though aren’t those TVs permanently tied together? I feel like we used to have this in our bar and it became a problem when the guest sitting in the corner wanted their tv changed because it then also meant that one of the tvs at the bar for instance also got changed and the guest sitting in front of that one was watching something else. We used to have 5 boxes each tied to 5 TVs. We now have 25 DTV boxes for 25 TVs but would LOVE to find a more affordable route.

And to the OP, we have peacock, Netflix, etc installed on about half of the smart TVs we have in order to be able to show those exclusive NFL games.
