The manager of a regional restaurant in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania wants us to have the sales equipment such as registers, handhelds and touch screens updated from the old carbon-copy diner ticket system. Our goal for our restaurant is to create a less rural countryside, family friendly atmosphere to a more urban and contemporary family and friendly restaurant. The mangers have all recently visited each other and have come up with a few ideas.

One of the four systems that each branch manager has presented to the manager was the Restaurant Manger Touchscreens and Mobile POS Solutions. Restaurant Manager could increase restaurant productivity in a monumental way. The system allows for easy touchscreen usage and can be used in any type of food service establishments such as fine dining and table service to quick service such as pizza delivery and fast food restaurants including bars and clubs. The customers can access an app on their phone providing sales tracking data, payments or check outs, and even ordering your food from it. Technology has brought everything to the next level. Only thing is, we are just getting started on what this wonderful program can accomplish.

Why choose Restaurant Manager? For starters, it has nearly thirty years of industry knowledge. Everything you need, it has and the workers are no longer manually entering materials into the cash register. Everything is completed by touchscreen. Also, it has great accuracy. It eliminates the possibility of fraud, errors in the system and wasted time. Another cool aspect of the program is how easy the software is to install. It gives employees and even customers using their phones, IPads in the restaurant a more dynamic view and faster training time if you are applying for the current job. The whole game changer of Restaurant Manager is the table side ordering, real time alerts, online ordering, and inventory control. Customers usually get very upset with employees who are too slow in the work field. With Restaurant Manager, we can now make the customers happy because the ordering and paying is now done online.

The second Manager has come up with the Duet: Tablet and Cloud POS solution. Duet allows the customers to place orders, and process credit cards via your back office server even if you happen to lose the Internet connection. The next important aspect for the company alone is that they could customize their menus. Most restaurants today have to remake their whole menu when adding or taking an item off. With the Duet, a simple swipe and typing and everything is updated on every tablet throughout the restaurant. They could set up certain items to show up at certain times, add food or beverages such as a special and even display certain discounts on items if need to be. That is a huge advantage over other restaurants and systems.

Also, this system allows management to track their company. They can set up alerts and mobile reports to see what their company has been up to with the money brought in, customer satisfaction and other day-to-day operations. They can access this app and see what is going on from anywhere. Such as vacation or whether they are located on or off site. As you can see, there is much great significance with the Duet: Tablet and Cloud POS solution. Moving forward, this system has a top-level security protection. This will ensure the companies systems cannot be hacked into and changed in any way shape or form, so customer credit cards are safe which is most important. Also, if the customer is all about the environment, this system allows for the elimination of paper waste and has digital receipts. This again allows for faster service and better customer satisfaction. The best feature of them all is that this system is at a premium price and very affordable.

Point of Sale terminals as name implies are terminals that can record sales and record data in a centralized database. Initially the recording was done on a local area network on local servers but then with the passage of time the data was stored online. With the advent of mobile computing, POS terminals have taken a totally new dimension. In spite of installing terminals for order taking and recording, mobile based applications installed on touch pads and tablets can be used to record sales and take orders. Through cloud or restaurant manager server the orders could be placed, the kitchen tickets could be sent and the process of credit cards via back office server could be done even when the Internet is down.

The simplicity of the application enables the user to customize the user interface. One can display discounts on certain products, seasonal specials or daily menus can be added easily. Reports can be also be generated through mobile device in real time and customized to provide better access to the reports along with more analytical features. No matter whether you are on the site or you are located such as in meetings away from the restaurant or even on a vacation, management and employees will always have a reliable quick access to restaurant/company reports.

The price of the Duet POS is subscription based which gives an access to the top line technology at the price levels which are affordable. The minimum requirements include tablets as well as in house servers which are not only affordable, reliable but also quick. Deploying Duet POS system will result in the restaurant going green as the paper usage will be eliminated and all the data will become electronic and quickly accessible. The physical data is hard to secure while the electronic database allows for higher security and protection for the business.

Deploying Duet will help in achieving business efficiency and effectiveness as the cost will be cut and the security will be increased. Analysis on customized reports which are accessible from anywhere could help in better operations management. The customized menu collection could also boost up the sales for the company as these menus could be dynamic and the option to add those menus in the point of sale terminal would create an opportunity to add more menus like that because the facility is provided by the system. Furthermore the ease and cost effectiveness in deploying a local server, having all data online, using mobile technology along with interactive interface to enter the sales, user friendly interface could reduce the training cost and make it easier for the restaurants to deploy the system and carry out operations. In a nutshell the system provides the flexibility, security, cost-effectiveness, and analytical report generating features to increase the business size and enhance operations management.

The next system is the Harbortouch Elite POS System. It has state of the art software that delivers all of the features a company or restaurant would need to be successful. It gives you maximum durability with very fast speed connecting to things and flawless performance. With this system you are able to track your financial payments, inventory and allows you to also view sales history and identify sales trends. The next upside to this unique system would be the employee management app that allows management to track their employees with a built in clock that shows how long each employee has worked on that day and also the employee productivity. Another awesome feature is that management can also pay their employees off of this app. Customers are also given faster payment options to be in and out of the restaurants, as quick as possible with good service. On one last note, this system has the options to upgrade which keeps the software up to date on a yearly basis. Also it updates on its own will, so that an employee or management will not forget. That might be the most important quality for this specific system.

Being able to sit at the table and not have to worry about when the server will come is a relief. The Harbortouch Elite POS, Restaurant Manger Touchscreens and Mobile POS Solutions System, Duet: Tablet and Cloud POS solution, and the Point of Sale terminals allows that dream to become a reality. Ordering from the tablet makes restaurants more enjoyable and must see destinations. Having updated technology makes a huge difference when it comes to drawing in customers from all over. Also, having faster service, digital receipts, online ordering and then some is what makes restaurants more relevant than others. Furthermore, each system has been made available because the pricing is very affordable. Whether they are making small payments or paying out right, neither system is expensive. Each system has its own unique difference. Deciding on which one to buy and install is the difficult decision.

However, the last system is Lavu system which represents a good point of sale system to modernize the regional restaurant in the bid to enable it brings efficiency and effectiveness in the operations. Among the changes that the system will bring forward in the organization include increase the ease of ordering by different clients, increase the efficiency in respective tables, better configure the menu, manage the workforce in a more productive manner, deal with disparities that arise in the business due to different standards that may be in different locations were outlets of the same firm operate, engage the payment system as well as making sense of the transitions made within the bank or without and lastly effectively deal with the demands at the restaurant at different times to the best so as to maximize on the gains and minimize on the losses that may be incurred due to improper management of the restaurant.
