The iPad POS system for gastronomy
POS systems in tablet format can be found increasingly often in the catering industry. This form of cash register is particularly useful in the gastronomy sector. We will guide you through the advantages of an iPad POS system and how you can use it in your catering business.
Advantages of iPad POS systems in gastronomy
Apple devices are popular for POS systems because the hardware and software are perfectly matched and they offer a high level of security. Using a cloud-based iPad POS system is especially effective. So you can run your entire business from just one iPad tablet connected directly to the internet.
It is also easy to use: most people are familiar with iPads and the simple system makes team training an intuitive process. If your restaurant business grows in the future, the POS system can be easily expanded by connecting iPads together.
If your restaurant business consists of several branches, the iPads can connect with each other across the various branches. This way you can have an overview of your entire company, all business processes and statistics at all times.
Due to the comparatively low purchasing costs for an iPad POS system, this type of cash management can be very lucrative. Tablet or iPad POS systems are significantly cheaper to purchase than conventional electronic cash registers. The monthly costs for the POS system software depend on which functions you then want to use.
Another major advantage is the flexibility and mobility of the iPad POS systems. This allows you to take orders directly at the table and to accept payment directly at the table. It can also be used for complete room and table planning.
iPads can also benefit customer loyalty with the right POS system, as they offer enhanced customer loyalty tools. For example, you can create a voucher system that binds customers to your restaurant quickly and easily with discount campaigns.
