Our Point of Sale (PoS) software has evolved and now has new features that provide the restaurant owner with a cache of tools to improve operations and create new opportunities to drive up sales. For businesses operating in the restaurant industry, the speed of adoption of new technology has a correlation to how efficiently they can improve service levels and convenience to the customer.

Let’s take a look at a few examples of how technology plays its part in bringing about efficiency in restaurants, help drive sales and reduce operational overheads.

Accurate menu costing and ticket tracking

Calculating costs per meal can be tedious if you’re still doing it the old pen and paper way. Features such as visual representations and the smart organisation of menu data available in modern PoS software solutions allow for an accurate meal costing down to the last ingredient. Recipe tracking makes it simple for head chefs to ensure that kitchen budgets are aligned to company projections, thus increasing revenue for restaurants.

Recipe memorisation and ticket management can lead to human error and create massive bottlenecks, but with kitchen display units that track and update orders as they are placed, much of the overheads are removed and chefs can concentrate on putting the best dish on the plate by removing unnecessary pressure on the kitchen.
