These costly PoS system kits do not only supply the IPad, but also a cash register, receipt printer etc. But this is not what Little Bay currently needs. Since the restaurants already have a cash register and receipt printer of their own, it would be better to solely invest in tablets plus software in order to improve the business and still eliminate the same problems that currently exist without spending money on redundant
