With the right POS touchscreen system, pizzerias and quick serve restaurants can streamline the ordering process, increase restaurant efficiency, improve marketing capabilities and become more profitable. Signature Systems, developer of the PDQ POS System, shares the top five features that restaurant owners need in a point of sale software system.
Quick Service:
In the quick serve restaurant industry, it is essential that employees have a program to streamline the counter service process. A software system that incorporates caller ID, cash drawer management and ticket routing capabilities can help to ensure that customers are served both accurately and expediently.
Delivery Management:
By managing every aspect of the delivery process, POS software can help to dramatically improve both customer service and restaurant productivity. A point of sale system with delivery management capabilities can help to generate maps and directions for drivers, determine optimal delivery routes, alert management if drivers are running late and more. This minimizes time spent trying to locate and dispatch drivers and maximizes delivery efficiency.
Table Management:
The right pizza shop POS system can be invaluable in helping servers to more effectively manage tables. Enabling separate checks at any time during the meal, displaying daily specials for servers, providing rapid credit card processing, and monitoring table status are just some of the ways in which POS can improve the way a quick serve restaurant manages tables for increased customer retention.
Bar Management:
Bar service can present unique challenges for the quick service restaurant and pizzeria industry. Point of sale software can help to minimize these challenges by making it easy to run tabs, close checks, find drink recipes and verifying the drinking age. This leaves bartenders free to serve more customers in less time, resulting in increased restaurant profitability.
Security:
The ability to help maintain a restaurant’s security is an important feature of any POS system. Security cameras provide an added level of protection to the restaurant, particularly when the restaurant owner has the ability to view all cameras simultaneously from virtually anywhere. A good point of sale system will even record a customer’s receipt on security videos while they are cashing out, providing a new level of quick service restaurant security.
