Best hospitality POS systems for restaurants and bars   Hospitality EPOS systems can help your hospitality business to improve significantly - find quotes today and save Hospitality EPOS (electronic point of sale) systems help to facilitate businesses working in a range of hospitality niches. Typically, EPOS systems fall into two categories: Hospitality EPOS systems can also be used for events, pop-up eateries, festivals, and more.   However, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, more and more restaurant owners are using hospitality EPOS systems to manage their takeaway and delivery service.   Hospitality EPOS systems are like little computers, and as such, are extremely adaptable. This means turning your restaurant business into a takeaway business can be as simple as downloading a software add-on.   If you're looking to upgrade your till system to EPOS, make sure you check which takeaway applications your new system is compatible with. But also ensure that

Advice for other small businesses

I’d say don’t rush into anything – look at what you actually need an EPOSsoftware to do and research what’s out there because there are a lot of systems which are very similar. The Lolly system is like some of the others, but it’s got a couple of things that pop out. It can be a standalone unit, it doesn’t have to connect to a wider system. The tills operate for eight hours without any power in them so there’s no interruption in service. We’ve been using them for two years, running into our third now. Lolly would be a good match whatever size we grew to. We’d look at adding more systems and a battery-operated system. Having internet available is important as we do a lot of our work in fields. Case Study: Jake Hardy – owner of Number Six   Jake Hardy owns London-based men’s fashion retailer, Number Six. He says that his Vend POS system is like having an extra pair of hands in-store. Fitting an EPoS system was pretty much the first thing I did when I took over the busine

Victoria Burden, owner of American diners V-Ate and Witham and Blues, explains how using the Clover POS system has revolutionised the way her businesses are run.

We’ve had our EPOS system in for almost two years, starting with it in Witham and Blues then introducing it to V-Ate. One thing we struggled with on the old POS system was having to go to the customer, take the order, and either having to enter that in at the till or go to the kitchen. Having the hand-held devices means that we can be at the table while taking an order – it’s a talking point, you know. I’ve seen other ones on the market, but because this one looked a little bit iPad-y, they interest the customers more. I’m a bit of a chatterbox, especially when it comes to customers – with this system I can just press ‘fire’ and the order might even come out while I’m still at the table. Customers go, ‘How has that happened? It’s like magic!’ The system is broken down by apps including register, tables, inventory and reporting. You can restrict who sees what, so younger front of house staff can only see what they need, for example. It just changes how your business and cus

The first consideration you should make is what be what kind of system you want: a countertop or a tablet system. A countertop would be ideal for someone in the retail sector – a shop where people are coming up to the counter to pay. Meanwhile, a tablet system gives you the flexibility to move around the counter. You can browse products online with the customers or you can take orders at the table, for example. If you’re a market trader or a food truck, you simply can’t accommodate a large countertop system. They’re often cheaper but not quite as robust as a countertop system. For most small businesses I’d say that the tablet system makes more sense. In terms of capabilities, you can find a countertop or tablet system which has more or less the same functionality. Even if you’re keeping costs down, it doesn’t mean you should skimp on features. You want to be looking at a POS system which has tools and features specific to your industry. For example, restaurants will want to

Top tips for buying a POS system

In this guide, we take a look at everything small business owners need to know about buying a point of sale (POS) system. Choosing a point of sale (EPOS) system is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a small business owner. It can make a real difference to how much time you spend on processing sales, replenishing stock and even training your staff. But different systems suit different businesses. Some might be looking at sector-specific features while others might be focusing on price. Make sure you know the needs of your business and research accordingly. And don’t rush it – you don’t want to be stuck with a fleet of machines that are of no use to you. Have a think about your needs as a growing business too, and if the POS system you have your eye on will meet these new demands. So, whether you’re replacing your current POS system or buying a new one altogether, here’s what you should consider as well as a bit of inspiration from fellow small businesses.

Personalize Experiences, Gratify Customers in the Moment

Image
It's harder than ever to gratify today's consumers. Shoppers make purchases anywhere, anytime—and increasingly expect delivery within an ever-shrinking window, whether in-store or on their doorstep. The same principle holds for the hospitality industry. Armed with a growing range of options on their mobile devices, guests expect to order quickly and receive high-quality fare quickly, exactly as they ordered it. If you fail to do so, chances are they won't return. Line busting is another way to turn frustration into gratification. Whether at a store or restaurant, faster transactions can save sales and encourage consumers to return frequently. Modern POS speeds transaction times, and EPOS software adds a powerful line-busting tool to your arsenal. In fact, research shows that more than half (52 percent) of retailers are arming store associates with mobile technology—and another 26 percent plan to do the same.
