Raising the Bar

Raising the Bar

How can you make use of an iPad-based POS system to run your bar business smoother? Here are just a few ways you can benefit.


1. Inventory Tracking/management

POS systems like Eats365 allow you to track certain items so that you know exactly how many of them you have on any given night. Once that number runs out, you can deal with the issue accordingly, or stop offering said item to customers. Not only will this improve efficiency, but it’ll stop customers getting angry or frustrated if their choice is not present.


2. Integrated Photo Menus

Having a traditional menu is fine for a time, but what happens when you have promotions or happy hour deals or change menu items? Printing out separate menus can be confusing and managing different prices at different times can be a chore. Photo menus allow you to set multiple menus and decide what time and days they show up. This allows customers to have a clear idea of prices and items on offer. Best of all, you can choose what images to display and set the brightness, so even if your bar is dimly lit, reading your menu will not be an issue. Should you need to edit prices or items, you can do so across the board at once without the need to print an entirely new set of menus.


3. Mobility

Having a static POS machine while staff have to either remember orders or write them down before entering them in is not only inefficient, but also leads to many mistakes. Mobile POS systems, or mPOS for short, allows staff to converse freely with customers without having to have the fear of forgetting their orders. Not only will this improve the general atmosphere and experience or customers, it will also lead to fewer mistakes and better efficiency. 


4. Always Online

POS systems like Eats365 offer your business functionality even when your establishment’s WiFi is down. Thanks to the way all modules are integrated via the cloud with the POS, you can run your business as normal and still feel safe knowing all your transaction and sales data will be tallied up and stored once you’re back online. 


5. Statistics and Reports

It’s always super helpful to have the hard numbers so that you can run your business in the best way possible. A good POS system provides you with a variety of numbers regarding staff performance, accounting, customer information, product sales and more. Whether you manage one bar, or a chain, you can see data for all your businesses in the time period of your choosing.
