How to Find the BEST POS
Cutting-Edge Point of Sale Technology
Challenges
Following are problems with POS systems. You need either a new POS or need to replace your old one. Unfortunately, not all alternatives are the same…
Old Equipment
Some vendors sell outdated equipment, their handheld terminal doesn’t print at the table (so you must run back and forth), you can’t process if the Internet dies, there are no hostess tablets, and no kitchen display screens (you’re still shouting orders).
Junky POS
Don’t have native online ordering (you must rely on Uber Eats, DoorDash, or GrubHub—at 15-30% commissions… they quickly eat your profits!). Or, no online reservations or a waitlist. This should be a common post Covid!
Pathetic Restaurant Management
Many use old systems—weak at tracking inventory, company supplies, customer engagement, or employee management.
Limited Mobile Access
Some have a mobile app, but it is only good for reports—you can’t run your business from home if needed.
Lousy Support
Many vendors do NOT have local-in-person support, equipment delivery is slow and there is no phone support.
Used-Car Price Gouging
Some of the most popular alternatives bait you with intro pricing and then gouge you when the “real” price kicks in or they charge for installation, software, integrations, or high equipment prices, Here’s your lollypop! (Think you’re a sucker)
The BIG Question
