The Rpower Reality Check
Rpower has been around since 2008, powering restaurants from Hooters to local favorites. But age doesn't always mean perfection. Here's the unfiltered truth.

The Bottom Line on Rpower
Rpower is a workhorse system with an impressive feature set and proven track record. If you need its power—multi-concept operations, complex menus, extensive integrations—it delivers. The 100+ integrations and comprehensive feature set justify the complexity for the right operation.
But if you're running a straightforward operation, you're paying for features you won't use and dealing with complexity you don't need. The dated interface and hybrid architecture add training time. Many restaurants would be better served by simpler, more modern systems.
Our Recommendation: If you genuinely need Rpower's depth (multi-concept, heavy integrations, complex menus), it's a solid choice—with proper implementation support. If you don't, SkyTab or SmartTab will serve you better with less complexity and better interfaces. Let's talk about which actually fits your operation.
