Epos Hospitality

Point of sale software (POS software) has come a long way in the last few years. The number of modules available to businesses has grown and this enables each business to pick and choose the specific software that meets their exact needs.
Before I discuss what modules are available, I will explain what POS software is and how it can benefit you and your business. The clearer it is to you, the better it is for you in terms of utility.
POS softwares should at the very minimum handle all your sales and manage your inventory database (plus the option of running a barcode scanner). The number of optional extras is quite astounding, including an extremely handy PDA which enables your staff to take orders remotely using a wireless system, more of the options will be discussed a little later in the article.
Do you own a retail store? Or maybe you have a Hotel or Restaurant? You either already have a POS system or you desperately need one!
The different types of modules available include: retail hospitality software, restaurant management software, web based ecommerce software, membership POS software and reservation software for hotels/bed & breakfasts etc. These can all help you specifically target your exact needs for your business sector, rather than shelling out to a company who claims to offer them all in one package.
But what advantages can these give me over what I currently use?
This is where the speciality comes in for each module, and the optional extras. The PDA I discussed earlier that let’s your waiter or waitress wirelessly take orders that are sent straight to the kitchen can save your restaurant or hotel valuable time. It can not only increase the flow of customers into your establishment, but it will increase the speed your customers get served – and you know what that means!? Happier customers and therefore returning customers!
The modules let you do several different, yet amazing things. Epos hospitality software like Membership POS can be used for such places as nightclubs and bars that require a membership management system; it can also be integrated with the retail POS for when a fitness club for example, wants to sell drinks etc.
One of the best things about restaurant POS software is that it keeps a record of your sales. Why is this data so valuable? It can tell you what sells good, and at what time of the year a product performs the best.
