This Point of Sale Software combines your business knowledge into an information hub. You have sales, inventory management, customer loyalty marketing, and other areas in one spot.  

It has many features that help restaurants run their day-to-day operations. 

Features

Customizable Menu Management

POS solutions make it simple for restaurant owners to manage their menus. The software has an easy-to-use user interface that simplifies adding, editing, and deleting items from the menu. Restaurants can create custom sections like "Today's Specials" and categorise the menu. This makes it easy for wait staff to use the menu and quickly take customer orders.

Table Management

The sophisticated table management options provided by POS Solutions. This simplifies the seating and ordering procedures so tables can be quickly assigned to customers. 

Inventory Management

Restaurants can continuously watch their stock levels. An Inventory Management system from POS Solutions is included for free. More information makes it easier for restaurants to order supplies and reduce waste. It can also send notifications when it's time to reorder particular items. This ensures they always stay supplied.

Contactless payments

In today's world, contactless payments are becoming popular. Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay are a few payment options that POS Solutions accepts. Customers will be able to pay more quickly and efficiently, reducing wait times and increasing their level of contentment.

Gift and loyalty cards 

Today businesses use gift and loyalty cards as popular marketing tools. These improve the customer experience, help keep customers, and boost revenue. They can boost sales and revenue by bringing in new customers and retaining existing ones.  

Both provide valuable customer information. Preferences and purchase patterns can be found. Using this data, you can tailor your marketing efforts and enhance your customer experience. 

Gift cards 

 Customers can buy goods or services with gift cards that are both convenient and adaptable.  Doing this means you can receive payment in advance.  

Loyalty cards 

Loyalty cards encourage customers to remain loyal to a brand and reward repeat business. 

Kitchen display system (KDS)

A digital display system called a kitchen display system (KDS) is used to oversee restaurant kitchen operations. It is a system made to speed up, be more efficient, and be more accurate with kitchen orders. The traditional paper ticket system is no longer in use because KDS uses a kitchen printer to print order information for the kitchen staff. A KDS display, in contrast to the paper ticket system, is simple to see from a distance, making it easier for kitchen staff to prepare orders quickly. This reduces errors and increases productivity. Kitchen staff can see all orders immediately in a KDS, which speeds up service and cuts down on processing time.

A KDS is better at managing kitchen operations than a system with kitchen printers and paper tickets. It allows you to offer a better customer experience due to its faster, more accurate, and more efficient order management.  

Monitoring transactions

Keeping an eye on transactions is crucial to running a safe and successful restaurant business. 

As it is automated, it is faster to make a bill. Items are not missed. 

By safeguarding your records, you can enhance the accuracy and security of your transactions. As it is automated, the payment procedure lowers the risk of human error. Manual transaction processing leads to inaccuracies like missed sales or incorrect calculations. 

A POS system can also assist in lowering the likelihood of fraudulent transactions. The reporting and tracking of each transaction are accurate. 

Remote access

Using the internet, you can access and manage operations from anywhere at any time as you have access to your business data. You do not need to be in the restaurant to know what is happening. 

Rostering

Managing successfully and effectively requires a roster. Using this, you can have a straightforward system for rostering. Reduce overstaffing or understaffing, ensuring the correct number can be scheduled. So productivity can be increased, labour costs reduced, and customer service improved. It makes it simple to plan.

Get a complete picture of your operations, including trends in sales, inventory levels, and employee productivity. Using this, you can improve your operations. Look for areas for improvement.

I rarely do an article on one of our clients using our Point of Sale software unless it is exceptional, The Kavon is such a place. It has recently been revamped. 

Theatre Restaurant is fully computerised.

It saves them lots of time. In restaurants and bars, in my experience stock wastage and shrinkage is the biggest problems, it is crucial to track and manage stock.

However at the bar, the problem is that time is a premium, so the speed is number one. This is where our POS system comes to its own. It is the fastest one, I have ever seen. We can quickly take payments, setup bar tabs, split bills, add tips and apply the special promotions. We accept a wide range of payment types eg cash, credit cards, account sales, etc. We have cashless payment options.

Most importantly if the EFTPOS goes down eg the internet or the bank is down, we can switch to local mode and keep the EFTPOS and by extension, the bar going.

Here are some photos of our system at the bar all setup

I have often wondered why our clients in cake shops, restaurants and pizza parlour are rarely fat. If you put me in such places, I am sure I would get into real trouble. 

Well, researchers may have found the answer. It seems that the body is fooled after a long period (2 minutes) of smelling the fatty foods to eat something else. Here is the article have a read.

I am going to try it out to see if breathing in fatty food smells for more than two minutes is enough to put me off some high-calorie foods. See how you go.
