What Our Customers Say :
In business, I look for companies that have a vested interest in helping my company grow. Alpha POS is the one I choose for their genuine knowledge of how they will support me—not just to make a sale, but with real 24-hour commitment. I turn down many POS companies that say they can offer what Alpha does but cheaper. It's not about cost for me; it's about commitment, service, standards, value, and trust. After over 45 years in the service industry, I know good people, and Alpha POS is one of them."
Colin Smith, Balmoral Restaurant
When looking for the perfect point-of-sale solution for our restaurant, we considered a variety of systems to meet our needs. It was clear that Alpha POS truly stands apart from the rest. From our installation in 2014 to our needs years later, Alpha POS has continued to provide a truly 24 / 7 local support solution. We wouldn't consider anyone else!"
Greta Amren, Bellalukes
I have been working with Alpha for the past 2 years now and have nothing but great things to say. They are very reliable! Getting ahold of them is very easy, and they have a support team that is always ready to help with any problem we may have. I would recommend their business hands down!"
