I’d love to reply, but it won’t be with a commercial!
You’re doing the right thing in looking for a POS system for your restaurant. I have talked to many restaurant owners over the past few months who are experiencing a business slowdown. They’re tired of it and have decided to focus on the things they’ve always thought they should, but have been “too busy” to do it. I’m sure you have your own list, but theirs have included marketing to their existing customers to get more business, controlling costs, understanding their financial picture, improving their operations, controlling cash, and many more.
I have heard many times from restaurant industry consultants and business experts that what is measured improves. The bottom line is if you measure new customer acquisition, it will improve. If you measure the success of your promotions, they will improve. If you measure add-on sales and compensate your employees for doing it, it will improve. If you measure customer retention, it will improve. If you measure your food cost, it will improve. I could add about 50 more things to the list without even breaking a sweat, but I think you get my meaning!
Here comes a little commercial. Look away if it’s too painful!
Almost any POS system can help you do the things you should be doing for your business. After you decide to do it, who should you do it with? You need to choose a POS supplier who does things like you want them to be done. If you know nothing about computers and you want to just come into your store one morning and have everything set up and ready to go, you need to select a supplier who will do that for you. If you understand a little about computers and you’re willing to do some or all the work to set it up, you can get Point of Success on good quality new computers for about a third of the cost of our competitors. Even if you want to have most of the work done for you, you can still save about half. We have lots of dealers who can give you as much or as little help as you need. Notice that I didn’t mention quality or features because those are 95% identical between Point of Success and the other major pizzeria point of sale suppliers.
