How Restaurant POS Softwares Can Help You Streamline Your Operations?

No sector is more competitive than the restaurant one. And in terms of success rate, the picture is grim for businesses in this industry. Around half of them fail. Among the many reasons for such failure are location, inexperienced management, poor customer service, not enough startup capital, and issues related to the challenges of basic operations.

While it cannot give you a new location or solve your marketing challenges, a solid restaurant POS system (POS) software suite can streamline and organize many of the operational tasks, so that you can focus on the other aspects of making your restaurant a success. And you may not even know how POS systems work in restaurants along with some of those features and benefits that exist in such software.

Lux POS was created to help you achieve your organizational goals when it comes to ordering taking, order processing to kitchen and bar areas and last but not least billing the customer. The order-taking is done digitally, If customers are dine-in customers, waiters take orders with a tablet while if customers call for delivery or take out, the manager can take the order from a desktop pc. Whichever way the order is taken, it can be split from food to drinks to deliver orders in the kitchen and to the bar area. The kitchen and the bar can be either digital on a touch screen or printed on a thermal receipt printer.

Our POS software has many other benefits which include:

Sales Reporting

You want the flexibility to look at your sales from many vantage points – based upon individual employees, menu items, your gross margin, times of day, net profit, cost of sale of each item, and more. These reports will allow you to make smart decisions going forward.

Management of Inventory

Our POS system can optionally keep track of your inventory, depletion of that inventory, and provide alerts when products are low and it is time to reorder. Think of the time this saves from having to manually check your inventory and decide what must be ordered. This saves time and money, as you do not over-order and end up with spoilage that is costly.

What we recommend is opting for the “cafeteria plan.” This means that, as you begin to use the POS system, you can choose those features you want and need upfront. As you become comfortable and as you grow, you will want to add more features.
