The mayor of Miami-Dade County recently issued an order mandating that restaurants no longer offer indoor dining, meaning customers must either dine outdoors while social distancing or use takeout and delivery. With that in mind, it is once again imperative that your POS system is delivering essential features to enhance and improve the ordering process for your customers.
For starters, let’s begin with the user interface. At some point, you may have visited a website with a user interface that’s too complicated to navigate and doesn’t allow you to easily access the information you need. The same holds true for a POS system. It should allow customers as well as employees to easily order and do what they need to do, making it easier to keep orders flowing and, therefore, improving efficiency.
There are POS systems that will support certain payments such as a credit card but may not support something like Apple Pay, for example. This only serves to limit the number of customers and it could mean losing business as some customers prefer the additional layer of security of not having to use their physical debit or credit card.
To expand a restaurant company nowadays, you need a solution to online ordering. A POS system capable of accepting online orders will allow you to increase margins and increase efficiency while reducing errors on the phone and wasting valuable time.
