Point of sale

There are key considerations to be made when selecting and implementing a Point of Sale system for a restaurant. The urge to explore new POS system functionality and hardware form factors is not uncommon among restauranteurs looking to cut costs, improve service or generate a little consumer awareness (Liddle, 2009). The lecture this semester from Chapter 13 briefly explained the system selection process. In response, I will focus on these key elements: needs versus wants, ease of use, training, customer support, and scalability. As we learned in Chapter 13, it rarely makes any business sense to invest and automate any inefficient processes. Therefore, a key consideration is determining the needs versus the wants of particular processes…

Market Needs Point-of-sale (POS) systems have been around in one form or the other for decades. The POS system covers all functions done at a business from order processing to inventory management to loyalty programs. It is more than a cash register – a core management tool for any small or large businesses/industry such retails, hospitality, transportation etc. With the right hardware and software programs/downloaded applications, businesses can easily process transactions, improve/track sales…

As our text book states, it is a good idea to remember the sales tax. This is something to remember, especially if you are on vacation in another state or country. You may think you have all of the money to cover the cost, and then there is another fee attached! What correlates well with the sales tax point, is the additional costs associated with credit card fees and interest. Once again, being aware of how much you are going to end up paying on your credit card, if not paid off in a timely…

Whenever someone opens any kind of business, they will need a POS system. If I were to open a small bistro I would need something that will help me run my business smoothly. POS stands for “Point of Sales System”. The system accepts debit cards, credit cards, cash and gift cards. But now-a-days, POS systems can do more than accept payments. The system can keep track of employee sales, time sheets when the employee clocks in and out the facility, inventory, an option to receive text or email…

in conjunction with one another in order to ensure a smooth operation. In this day and age, most establishments have point-of-sale systems (hereafter POS) that allow servers access to touchscreen ordering options, permitting them to send orders to the kitchen. While new ordering platforms such as IPad ordering kiosks, handheld POS systems, and voice technology platforms have produced mixed economic implications they have generated predominantly positive improvements in guest satisfaction.

This system works with the use of tablets, e.g. IPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab. The tablets can be carried around to the tables and bring the PoS to the customer (Discovering the Benefits of a Tablet POS System: NCC USA), instead of the customer coming to the till to pay for the bill. Using a tablet POS offers businesses gains in the form of higher potential sales, cost savings, and novel opportunities for customer engagement (Discovering the Benefits of a Tablet POS System: NCC…

The policies also specify what network resources users and devices are allowed to access once they are on the network. This is one of the most critical areas for PCI DSS compliance. Network Sentry enables organizations to create extremely granular access policies, applying the Who, What, Where and When of network access. For example, a sales associate using a POS terminal may have permission to access one set of network resources while a vice president of finance with a laptop can have higher…

I plugged the GPS in with the address and it calculates approximately 4 hours before we could reach our destination. When car was finally moving, I looked at the clock and it was exactly 3:00 pm. I told everyone that we’ll have enough sunlight to get set up when we get to our destination. Grace drove about 20 minutes and everyone voted her not to drive anymore. I agreed with them as her driving was awfully terrifying and terrible. I was up next to be the driver since no one else wanted to drive.…

continually update inventory counts as they are tallied by hand or eye, then written down and logged for referral. An employee can use a mobile POS terminal with inventory reports to check the stock, then make any necessary changes right on the terminal, streamlining the process. This also eliminates fatigue, which can raise the likelihood of human error. Cutting down on human error is essential when doing inventory checks, primarily since items and services can be purchased online or over the…
