What Features Should I Look for in a Bar and Restaurant POS?

The best bar and restaurant POS systems offer mobile ordering and payment as well as traditional ordering through a server. Look for a system that allows guests to open a tab, share the tab with friends, and easily split payments with members of their party – the system should do the math. Systems should also offer flexible hardware options (like cost-efficient handheld POS devices) and  integrate with reservations, accounting and other restaurant software systems.

Here are some key features and benefits you should expect from bar and restaurant POS systems:

• Mobile Ordering and Payment: Enable guests to order and pay via their smartphones, enhancing convenience.
• Integrations: Integrate with a wide range of hospitality software solutions, preferably offering an open API to reduce time to market.
• Tab Management: Allow guests to open, share, and split tabs effortlessly, simplifying group payments.
