Today's point-of-sale (POS) systems have changed dramatically and are a far cry from what was available just ten years ago, leaving many businesses to ask how do the newest versions of point-of-sale systems work? POS systems allow you to process more types of payment in more ways faster than ever before. At the same time, they provide advanced benefits such as backend data and reports to help boost your sales, helping you run your business more effectively. The truth is, point-of-sale systems have come a long way, so here's a brief overview of all the ways they can help you manage your business.
A point-of-sale system is an electronic method of processing payments and housing sales data. It is a cash register, processes credit cards, debit cards, checks, cash, and even Paypal and Venmo funds. It immediately logs payments, so you have instant accounting of your sales.
But unlike traditional cash registers, POS systems have greatly expanded their capabilities, offering a greater range of purchasing methods and in-depth data analytics to boost profits. POS systems have become key ingredients to increasing revenue, providing intelligent guidance, and reducing labor costs, while still being lower cost than traditional systems.
Here at BNG, we offer a wide range of point-of-sale capabilities, including:
Today's advancements make taking payments faster and reading profits easier, but they also are simpler to use. Mobile point-of-sale platforms allow you or your sales teams to take orders where the customers are, ensuring faster purchasing and better customer service. The technology is compact, portable, and intuitive, while providing the same reliability you would expect from an in-store system.
There are also new ways to order. Table-side ordering is being used more often in restaurants, allow a server or the customers themselves to input their orders right at the table, resulting in faster table turnover time. These systems are easy enough for anyone to use, cutting down on errors, and speeding up meals without the need for servers to re-input orders into a separate machine.
All interfaces are designed to make it easy to implement a wide range of benefits, such as gift cards, rewards programs, and menu changes. And by being cloud-based, you can make needed changes immediately and keep track of performance anywhere you are, night or day.
The wide range of offerings makes it easy to handpick the systems you need. Many systems are compatible with your existing systems, so you enjoy the specific benefits you need without investing in an entirely new system. Since each benefit directly aids your business, you can use each system to your advantage and add more systems over time as your business grows, taking your business further. We offer the option of renting or buying these systems, helping you maintain your POS systems budget while reaping the benefits.
If you are a restaurant or bar, mobile and table-side ordering are potent options to boost sales and improved customer service. Combined with stock tracking and delivery management, you can maintain faster and more frequent sales in and outside the restaurant.
If you are a retail store, you can take orders on a tablet anywhere in the store and maintain records of customer orders, providing rewards for increased purchasing and offering gift cards to increase sales and brand awareness. And when overstocked items need to go, you can create instant discounts and timed sales to move them off the floor. If your sales team is falling behind their goals, you see their progress instantly to ensure maximum profitability.
