Aloha (NCR)

Aloha (now NCR Voyix) has been an industry standard for decades, particularly in chains and hotels. However, the interface feels dated, costs are very high, and getting support or changes made can be slow.

  • 🔌

    Offline Resilience

    STOVE keeps working when the internet doesn't. Process cards, print tickets, and sync automatically when you're back online. No more handwritten tickets during outages.

  • ☁️

    Redundant Cloud Infrastructure

    Your data lives in multiple data centers. During a major cloud outage affecting many services last year, STOVE restaurants stayed fully operational while others scrambled.

  • 📞

    24/7 Human Support

    Real people answer the phone — day, night, weekends, holidays. Average response time under 30 seconds. No chatbots, no "we'll get back to you."

Availability depends on local connectivity and hardware configuration. We design every installation for maximum resilience and will work with you to ensure your setup is bulletproof.

"During a major cloud outage last year, our STOVE system kept taking orders like nothing happened. Neighboring restaurants using other systems were writing tickets by hand. That's when I knew we made the right choice."
— Mike R., The Rustic Table, Austin TX
