Hospitality POS: find the tools you need

Restaurant POS systems allow you to synchronize your front and back of house by taking orders and processing sales through one centralized system. With a restaurant POS, you can manage your table plans, stock, bookings, and orders through one device that provides real-time insights. 

The best POS system for your businesses will vary depending on your business needs.

For instance, if you run a spa, your point of sale system will need to have an intuitive interface that lets you take online appointments, schedule your therapists, manage inventory, and handle all the variety of guest service you offer.

Restaurant POS systems need to be able to link the front end and back end of your business, possibly through kitchen display systems. It must have a robust online ordering system, food and beverage inventory management tool, and sync with online and mobile devices for flexible payment solutions.

You may also wish to offer a self-service kiosk to your business. These self-checkout machines let customers make their decisions and immediately send it to the kitchen, and even have receipt printers built in. This cuts down on wait times and human error.
