Frequently asked questions
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.
- What is a takeaway POS system?
-
POS systems (or EPOS systems) are a combination of hardware and software manage many aspects of running a business. Hospitality staff can quickly send orders to the kitchen, accept cash and card payments. Retailers can track inventory levels and manage ecommerce with ease.
The POS system can also integrate with applications to assist with online and QR code ordering, accounting, automated marketing and communications, and more. Plus, you can even do it on the tools you find easier to use. Run Epos Now software on existing hardware you prefer to work on.
- How do I use a takeaway EPOS system?
-
Operating point of sale systems 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, including upselling, meal deals, and promotions. When the customer is ready to pay, the system automatically adds the requested items and calculates relevant taxes. The system 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 delivery, as well as 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 a couple of 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 and Epos Now Online Ordering. Customer orders will be sent directly to your kitchen display from an easy-to-use app (for you and your customers), speeding up service and simplifying your processes. Also, accounting becomes much easier since transactional information will be recorded in your Back Office.
- 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 lets you build your menu and shows orders in real-time while tracking sales.
Choose the app that suits you, based on how easily it will suit your processes, as well as what it will look like for your customers when they place online orders, as they do have subtle differences.
- 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, providing greater convenience for everybody. 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%.
