About us and your order

Do you have any retail locations i can go and visit?

We have technicians in over 290 cities throughout the US & Canada, however we do not have any retail locations. We are a warehouse to client business and conduct all of our sales online or over the phone.

How do i know if my order went through?

You will receive an email from us (within 24hrs) which includes your confirmation number.

How long will it take for me to receive my shipment?

It takes 3 to 5 business days to ship out of the warehouse (depending on the size of the order and/or menu).

Once out of the warehouse it then takes the courier service 7 to 10 business days to deliver the order.

Can i get expedited shipping?

Yes, but you are then responsible for the shipping fees.

We can provide 3 Day expedited shipping after the system leaves the warehouse, however, since the POS systems are large and heavy so the shipping cost can be as much as the system itself!

How do i contact Tech Support?

Before calling tech support you need to make sure you have a tech support ticket number otherwise the system will disconnect you.

If you do not currently have a tech support ticket, log in at Zendesk and submit a request for a support ticket. A Technician will respond to your request via email or phone within 24 hrs.

Once you have a tech support ticket number you can call the toll-free number 1-877-889-4335 and choose option 3 for tech support.

We do highly advise, however, that you and your staff read the manual that came with the system which are loaded on the desktop. We also have a large number of training videos on our YouTube channel.

About your POS

What is the difference between the NCR and PC systems?

An NCR is an all-in-one unit where the 12" touch screen monitor and CPU are built into one unit, the PC system has a separate monitor & PC.

Are the refurbished units in good condition?

These are pre-owned systems (unless otherwise mentioned), pulled from a working environment. They are cleaned, tested and refurbished as needed and shipped in 100% working condition. The items may have some signs of cosmetic wear, scratches, and other blemishes, but is fully operational and fuctions as intended.

This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. Fading, discoloration, and sticker residue is common. Some recycled items may be painted and/or touched up as needed.

Functionality is always guaranteed. Pictures used in our ads are of similar units we have or standard stock photos and may not reflect actual items.

I need a scale that weighs in ounces

Weigh Scale NCI 6710 is the standard scale that is shipped out with our POS Grocery Store Bundles. If you require a weigh scale that weighs in ounces, you would need to upgrade to the NCI 6712 via the drop down menu.

Can i use a portable ordering device with this software?

Yes, with uTouchPOS, Plexis and Winrest.

Do these systems track inventory and sales?

Yes, you can even program your inventory to let you know when you need to restock.

How do i handle a custom food order with this software?

You must enter all possible items/modifiers into the inventory.

Is the system capable to control multi-store from one server?

No, however we do have this capability on custom systems. Please forwards your request to Sales@uTOUCHPOS.com

Do you provide the shared database software on the back office server?

The POS software is loaded on the server and it has all the files and databases needed.

Will my software be compatible with your POS system?

We can supply POS compatible with all POS software, but you would need to make sure by emailing us your softwares requirements to Support@uTOUCHPOS.com for final approval.

Can I use any processor I want?

Probably, but to be sure, we would need to confirm with the tech department from your processing company if they can be compatible with your uTouchPOS software, and the time scope involved in the integration. With some processors it may take weeks to do the setup so it would be a good idea to make sure that they would provide you with a temporary stand-alone unit for use until they finally set you up. Additionally there would be a monthly gateway fee  associated to the setup and maintenance of your gateway for your processors use.

By using our preferred processor you would benefit by

1)      Assurance that your merchant account will be set up in a timely fashion

2)      Lowest processing rates guaranteed

3)      Monthly gateway fee waived (Certain conditions may apply)

4)      Free CC Reader added to your bundle

Why don’t you send us a copy of your monthly processing report and we will show you how much we can reduce your processing costs on a monthly basis. It doesn’t hurt to see.
