Point of Sale Q&A: Questions you might want to ask a restaurant POS expert
Restaurant POS System: Q&A
POS Terminal: Do I Need More That I Should Have?
* Peak customer volume
When handling peak customer volume, you need to have a plan to be able to sufficiently serve them all.
* Considering the number of staff taking orders
For serving tables, I suggest assigning 1 station per 3-5 servers. High volume areas such as bars and cashier stations may need to have a dedicated station for that purpose. Migrating from a cash register to a POS system, many people unintentionally forget that their POS system is not only used to conduct sale transactions but can also be used for order entry as well.
* Restaurant layout
If you have a bar you can bet the bartender will need his or her own station. Other stations should be located where servers can easily get at them.
* Assigning stations effectively where customers pay for their meals
If you want your customers to pay for their meals though your servers carrying their own banks, then I suggest assigning fewer servers per station. But if you want them to pay at front, having one or two dedicated cashier stations would be better for fast transactions.
What type of POS computer should I use for my business?
* Desktop PC: the standard desktop type.
o Least expensive computer option
o With a gurantee of 3 years of onsite warranty
o Takes more space but can be hidden away beneath a counter
o Flexible for addition of extra ports
o Latest CPU speeds and memory
o Screen and computer are separate; so you can easily isolate which ones has technical problems.
* Small form factor: smaller than desktops.
o More stylish than the desktop
o 3 Year Onsite Warranty Standard for this component
o More Space Saving
o Fewer options for expandability
o Latest CPU speeds and memory
o Screen and computer are separate; if ever technical difficulties accur, it'll be isolated.
* All-in-one terminals: the combination of touchscreen and computer.
o Stylish, space-saving terminal with fewer wires required
o Manufacturers warranty: 1-2 years (Not onsite)
o Comes standard with sufficient ports for almost any operation
o CPU speed is generally slower than the other two options but sufficient for the Point of Sale needs.
o Combined screen and computer
How many cash is ideal for my restaurant?
* You may easily observe how many cash drawers your restaurant will need, unless your servers carry their own cash banks you should have a cash drawer at every station for ending transactions.
Credit card processing?
* A restaurant POS system can be used to safely record all credit card transactions in one convenient location.
* With the advance of high speed internet transactions processing time can reduced to 3-4 seconds per transaction.
* If high speed internet is not available we suggest using a standalone terminal for processing.
How many printers should a typical restaurant?
* Having one kitchen printer will probably be sufficient for many restaurants;
however, if you have different sections in your kitchen which handle different dishes you may want a printer for each section.
* As an example, you can have all your appetizers print on one printer and all your entrees print on another.
* When choosing for printers to use for your kitchen and bar, use impact (dot-matrix) printers instead of thermal printers. Why? Because tickets that are printed on thermal printers becomes unreadable when exposed to heat, and the loud printing of impact printers can alert your cooks and bartenders that an order is coming through.
Is it essential to have more than 1 receipt printer?
* It's always a good idea for every station to have their own receipt printer.
Do I need a back office computer?
* A back office computer helps managers to run reports and access POS systems to change, remove or add important data without disturbing servers.
* A back office computer is not necessariliy required unless you have 4 or more stations. However, it's a good idea that you use a back office computer to host your database if you have 4 or more stations so none of them has extra load of running the database.
