This eBook begins by exploring why a restaurant would need a POS system. Bob Frazier points out that some small restaurants might only need a cash register or simple tablet solution if they only have a few items or sales categories. Most restaurants need a POS system to insure efficiency in both the front of the house and the back. If a restaurant is faced with problems such as errors in guest checks, lack of cash balancing, food and beverage inventory controls and/or staff timekeeping issues, then it is time to invest in a restaurant POS system. If selected and used properly a restaurant POS system will quickly pay for itself in the money it saves.
By taking the reader through a step by step description of critical restaurant functions, Frazier is able to point out what features are necessary to help their restaurant run smoothly and avoid the ones that are “added on” and unnecessary just to increase the price of the system. A well thought out restaurant POS system can alleviate this problem through cost and inventory controls built right into the system.
An important section of this book is Credit Cards and Merchant Processing. Most restauranteurs fail to recognize how critical this function is to their establishment and how much it can cost them. Bob Frazier is able to demonstrate not only how the restaurant POS system ties into the merchant's credit card processing, but how expensive it can be if you don't do your homework up front.
Probably the most important topic for any business owner is how to pay for their restaurant POS system. Frazier covers each option and presents both the pros and cons of each.
