The benefits of a POS register for restaurants

5 benefits of a POS

1. Fewer order and payment mistakes

Orders reach the kitchen and the bill as data, so writing and calculation mistakes become rare. Voids and refunds are recorded too.

2. Sales are totalled automatically

No more adding up tickets after closing. Sales by day, hour and item are ready at once (sales reports).

3. Easier to run with fewer staff

Combined with QR code ordering, staff walk to tables less often and peak times are easier with fewer people.

4. Invoice and reduced-rate ready

Receipts with the amount and tax for each rate and your registration number are created automatically.

5. New staff learn faster

Menu items and prices are in the POS, so new staff do not need to memorise prices.

Before you start

• Menu set-up: the menu must be entered once; importing a CSV makes this quick.
• Devices: check that your printer and cash drawer are supported.
• Connection: if your Wi-Fi is unstable, make sure payments still work offline.
• Running costs: check the monthly fee, and the price when you add stores.

Start small

You do not have to change everything at once. Start with order entry and payment, or only QR ordering and kitchen printing. Prime POS is free for your first store, so you can try as you go.
