Local support works differently.
No scripts. No transfers. No overseas call queues.

Why Independent Restaurants Need Local Support:
Running an independent restaurant means wearing every hat. You handle the food, the team, the guests, the daily fires, and everything in between. When your POS has an issue, you don’t have time to sit on hold or explain your setup ten different ways, to ten different people. You need help right now, and help from someone who understands how your business actually works.
That is why local support matters more than ever.
Local partners understand your restaurant
No call center, EVER. Just local support.
When your support team is local, they know your operation. They know the lunch rush, the late-night bar crowd, and the weekend spikes that can make or break a shift. They also know your equipment, your building layout, and the way your system was installed. You’re not explaining the basics to a stranger. You’re talking to someone who already knows your business, inside and out.
Help arrives faster when something goes wrong.
Independent restaurants run on thin margins and tight timing. A frozen terminal or a printer that refuses to fire on a Saturday night can snowball into lost tickets, long waits, and frustrated guests.
One of the hardest parts of outsourced support is repeating yourself just to reach someone who can actually help. You’re passed between departments. You’re asked to turn it off and back on again. You’re told to wait for a ticket to be escalated.
Local support means:
Real people answer the phone. No scripts. No transfers. No overseas call queues.
Troubleshooting happens in minutes, not hours.
If you need someone on-site, they’re actually able to come to you.
Replacements don’t get mailed in “3 to 5 business days.”
Local support works differently. The person who answers the phone is the person who can help.

Personal relationships build better service
Restaurants thrive on relationships. Local POS support works the same way.
When the same techs visit your establishment, they learn your flow, menu setup, peak hours, and pain points. They can catch issues early, recommend better workflows, and help your staff feel more confident. It’s a relationship built on familiarity — something you can’t get from a remote call center.
This is why HCS has been local since 1988
For nearly four decades, HCS has supported restaurants, bars, and cafés across Ohio and neighboring states. We install in person. We train your team on-site. We answer the phone around the clock. And when you need help, you get a real technician — not a ticket number.
Independent restaurants deserve support that’s just as independent.
If you want a team that stands behind you, we’d be glad to help or walk you through the options available to you.
