FAQ about bar POS systems
If you'd like to know anything else about how Epos Now can help your business, get in touch with our team or read our frequently asked questions.
- Why is the POS an important part of the bar business?
-
POS stands for point of sale, meaning the most crucial moment of contact between your business, and your team, and the customer. This is the moment you make a sale, and if it goes well, will lead to future sales, increased profits, and improved customer loyalty.
Point of sale systems are designed to create a fluid and effective sale that makes the most out of this interaction, encouraging upselling, helping staff keep their focus on the customer, while gathering data to make management of the business easier both during and after the sale. This makes Epos Now systems essential tools for those businesses relying on them.
- How do bar POS systems work?
-
The right point of sale system for a modern bar works by centralising and simplifying the bar operation. Tracking orders and sales with table plans, open tabs, order numbers, which then send directly to a kitchen or prep station through an order printer or kitchen display. These systems also store transaction data, inventory, staff, and product performance, helping businesses make better decisions based on the data collected.
Bars can also adapt their POS systems through apps that expand sales channels and offer more management options. These apps could help with marketing, accounting, delivery and online ordering, loyalty programs, website integration and much more. Ultimately, bar and pub EPOS systems work by bringing together different bar management tools under one banner, giving bar owners a simple way to manage the entire business.
- What is the best EPOS system for a bar or pub?
-
The best EPOS system for bars takes care of all key business functions including inventory management, price and promotion management, generating reports, managing and monitoring staff performance, while also giving you room to grow, with the ability to manage multiple locations if you expand.
It's also essential that your ideal system can keep drinks flowing on those busy Friday and Saturday nights, processing sales and making adjustments, doubling up, merging tabs and tables, all in just a few taps.
Ultimately, different bars and other business owners will have their own needs and the ideal system will be specific to you. If your bar has a kitchen, you may want a kitchen display screen integrated to your system. Maybe you'll want mobile payments and tableside ordering? Or even delivery and online ordering, which Epos Now incorporates through our AppStore, giving you the flexibility to create your own best POS system.
- What is a bar EPOS system?
-
A bar and pub EPOS, or point of sale system, gives you all the tools you need such as a kitchen display system to process orders, track inventory, and collect payments through a centralised system, accessible from any location and device. The EPOS system can also integrate with email marketing platforms, bookkeeping programs, and other applications to simplify pub and bar management.
- How much is a bar POS system?
-
The cost of your bar POS system will vary based on your needs. For instance, there are simple bar sales processors you could use for free, but you'll struggle to use them for more than the simplest tasks, which will likely make running your bar more difficult.
On the other hand, you can get comprehensive systems at very affordable prices for as little as a few hundred pounds upfront, with payment processing included, though you can expect competitive systems to come with a small recurring fee as well.
Then, if you expand your system using apps like Sage or Xero, there might be an additional cost. Whatever your needs are, reach out to Epos Now's team and get your offer on an affordable POS system with powerful performance potential.
