Whether it is takeaway, online orders, dine-in orders, or curb-side pick-ups, efficiency is key to customer satisfaction in the restaurant industry today, given that food outlets have mushroomed in every corner of cities. With rising competition, selecting the right, in fact, the best POS hardware for operations management becomes crucial.Â
Point-of-sale devices can reduce wait time and instances of order mix-ups while improving billing accuracy, crowd management ability, and overall restaurant productivity. Let’s explore some of the essential devices that can make one of the most robust, if not the best, point-of-sale (system) suites!Â
For stationary billing purposes, POS terminals from top OEMs, such as POSIFLEX, can be ideal for queue-busting and fast billing. The devices, such as the POSIFLEX GT Series and the POSIFLEX BT Series, powered by state-of-the-art processors, offer a touch-sensitive, compact, and error-free accounting interface.Â
To minimise wait time and crowd during peak restaurant hours, mobility devices, also known as mobile POS devices, or mobile POS tablets, prove handy. This is because these mobile Point-of-Sale devices bring the billing process to the table, complementing the efficiency of the POS terminals. At the same time, mobile POS systems are also useful for order-taking and order management via waiter apps, which track order preparation and map tables with orders, thereby preventing mix-ups.Â
Unlike POS terminals, mobile POS are easy to carry, and hence, ideal for inventory management and audits because the tasks require restaurant employees to move around the pantry/cold storage. Another way in which all-in-one mobile POS tablets, including the POSIFLEX MT Series, ensure operational efficiency is by connecting kitchens and the restaurant floor. Let’s see how in the next section!Â
What sets apart the best Point-of-sale Systems from their counterparts is that the top-line device suites feature integrated solutions. For example, when an order is placed via a POSIIFLEX MT Series mobile Point-of-Sale device, a Kitchen Display System, let’s say, from the POSIFLEX KDS Series, displays the order on the kitchen display shows the order number to the kitchen staff. This integration is especially useful for QSRs that operate on strict service times.
At the same time, the POS terminal, in the kitchen, which is attached to a POS printer, instantly generates the KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket), saving the time servers require to go from the table to the kitchen. Further, this integration digitises the order-taking process, thus reducing the scope of errors.Â
POSIFLEX PP Series entails a robust portfolio of POS printers.Â
Self-checkout kiosks such as those from the EK Series, HK Series, and JK Series by POSIFLEX drive queue-busting by complementing the POS terminals at cash counters. Like mobile Point-of-Sale devices, self-service kiosks, integrated with Kitchen Display Systems, instantly inform back-of-the-house staff upon order placement, thereby minimising the workload of the staff members. The kiosks are also valuable for businesses aiming for a lean workforce or those struggling with a workforce crunch.Â
Even if you are dealing with the best POS hardware for billing, peripherals are vital because they add to the functionality and efficiency of the restaurant tech suite. Some of the key peripherals include:Â
In addition to the peripherals mentioned above, POSIFLEX also offers:Â
