Point of Sale Hardware and Software for Restaurants and Coffee Shops
Hospitality retailers such as restaurants and coffee shops do not use barcode scanning. For small restaurants and coffee shops with low to medium table turnover a 1 Terminal Point of sale system is sufficient. For larger restaurants where seating capacity is over 100 and a high table turnover expected, a multi terminal system with shared table tracking needs to be implemented. In restaurants and coffee shops a table is opened and food and beverage orders are registered on the point of sale system when customers are seated and the initial order is placed with the waiter or assistant. To speed up preparation and delivery times remote printers can be used at preparation stations such as kitchen, service bar etc. These remote printers print the order for the table with pertinent information such as table number, waiter or assistant that placed the order, time of order and precisely how the food or order must be prepared. Remote printers provide speed and accuracy and prevent the waiter or assistant having to communicate the order to the preparation area enabling them to spend more time looking after their customers. Remote printers also provide a certain amount of security as no order can be prepared unless it has been first registered on the point of sale. Restaurants and coffee shops also require that the point of sale system provide a cash up report per waiter or user as the customers usually pay the waiter or assistant directly. It has also now become necessary for Point Of Sale software to provide a Delivery function for Take Aways and Fast Food businesses as home and business deliveries become more prevalent.
