EVO Canada’s POS system is totally useless

I started a garment retail business last month in Montreal. For the first two weeks I was doing all the billing process manually and accepted payment in cash. But as more customers started coming to my store, it became difficult to generate bills manually for the large crowd. Long queues were a common sight at the store. Besides, many customers preferred to pay through credit card. To state very simply I was losing business!

On the advice of a close friend, I planned to install a POS system by EVO Canada. Though it cost me a good amount of money, I was not reluctant to invest the amount believing that the application will make the business more efficient. I was disappointed. It has been two weeks there has hardly been a day without technical glitches. The terminal freezes at will. The PIN pad is not efficient and often stops working.


Instead of solving the problem of the long queues, it has added to the plight of the customers. The card reading facility often fails to read a card at the first instance.

Slow processing by EVO Canada’s POS system

Customer experience is very important for a hospitality business. If the experience is poor customers will not come back to seek your service. When you can’t retain customers in the industry you can’t grow your business. I have been running a restaurant in Montreal for the last 10 years. Recently, I signed up for a payment processing from EVO Canada. I invested a huge amount of money to make the business more organised. But the service disappointed from the first day itself. The system takes a lot of time for processing requests. Besides, the printer doesn’t work properly. It jams frequently. This is giving poor customer experience to the customers. This is annoying. Feel as though I have flushed my money down the drain.


I am planning to change to an efficient payment processing system. This time I am not going to hurry in choosing a service.
