- What is a takeaway POS system?
-
A takeaway POS is a system that manages many aspects of running a business. Staff can quickly send orders to the kitchen, accept cash and card payments, and track inventory levels. The POS system can also integrate with applications to assist with online ordering, accounting, marketing, and more.
- How do I use a takeaway POS?
-
Operating a point of sale system is as easy as using a smartphone or tablet. To take an order, you can use the touchscreen display to find and select menu items. When the customer is ready to pay, the system automatically adds the requested items and calculates relevant taxes. The POS will display the total cost, and the customer can pay with cash or card.
- What are the best takeaway POS integrations?
-
The best POS integrations will improve specific aspects of your takeaway, so the right solution will vary with each business. However, most takeaways should implement payment processing, online ordering, and accounting integrations. These three will allow you to sell more meals faster while simplifying your daily operations.
- How do I set up an online ordering system?
-
Your takeaway can implement an online ordering system through several methods.
The first option is to take orders on your website. You can create a form that allows users to place orders, pay, and see the expected pick-up time. Depending on your takeaway, you might need to use a handful of programs and devices to print order requests and account for sales. This method requires more manual effort but it gives you complete control.
The second option is to use online ordering apps like Deliveroo. Customer orders will be sent directly to your kitchen display, speeding up service and simplifying your process. Also, accounting becomes much easier since transactional information will be recorded in your Back Office.
Lastly, you can collect all online orders directly from your POS system. For example, the HOPT Epos Now integration allows customers to browse your menu and place online orders from an easy to use app.
- What is an online ordering system called?
-
Online ordering systems have different names, but they all accomplish similar tasks. These systems use software that helps restaurants take orders and accept payment over the internet.
Online ordering systems consist of two critical parts. The first is a website or mobile application that shows customers the menu and allows them to place an order. The second is a restaurant management component that shows orders in real-time and tracks sales.
- What are the benefits of online food ordering?
-
Adding an online ordering system carries several benefits, but these three are the most important for takeaways.
First, online ordering will simplify all aspects of your business. Orders can go directly to a kitchen display, sales are recorded automatically in your back office, and digital payments will mean less time counting cash at the till.
Second, you can reach more customers with an online ordering app. Some customers may crave your food but do not have the time to wait for their order in your takeaway. With an online system, they can place their order and pick it up when it best suits their schedule.
Third, online ordering means higher profitability. Through strategic discounts and add-ons, you can include upselling opportunities to increase a customer's order size. Takeaways using online ordering can increase their revenue by an average of 30%.
