Point of sale software and hardware make up a POS system and are used by quick-service restaurants, full-service restaurants, bars, venues and arenas to take orders, accept payments, monitor inventory management and oversee employees. Food and beverage POS systems include traditional touchscreen countertop devices with card terminals and receipt printers or mobile iPad based formats perfect for restaurants with large floor plans. Must-have features include omnichannel functionality, marketing and loyalty integrations, order management with a touchscreen and kitchen display system (KDS), tools to empower employees and the ability to accept popular, convenient payment methods.

With a POS system and POS hardware, you can complete transactions, identify popular menu items, win customers, create staff schedules and automate repetitive tasks and reduce errors. In short, the benefits are almost endless.
