What do you think the best Point-of-Sale system is for a small Dine-in Restaurant business?
Posted on August 30th, 2009 by admin
Nick, I do agree with Sea above.The restaurant industry encounters many unique situations that your credit card merchant must effortlessly be able to manage.
Tips can be added after authorization occurs
A bill from the bar can easily be added to ones dinner bill for a simple single transaction
Tracking of transaction activity and tips by a tracking number or name.
Creation of a large range of reports and documentation that will make it easier to track your business activity.
I use the VX570 with Vivo Pay(Designed to provide easy, convenient, and safe transaction in limited space counter environments such as quick service restaurants (QSR)
It works well , with no problems. Just take a look at the different terminal types to see what you need for your diner.
Good luck!

Aloha. I used it at several different establishments and it is easy to navigate and learn. Not sure about price though…

Aloha is good but it is very expensive ($20 to $30K). Quick Books, Dell and HP all have POS systems for around $5K that let you track deliveries, inventory, product cost, scheduling, labor cost, etc. I’ve also had good luck with the sam4s registers (made by Samsung) as they are flexible in their reporting and programming. I’d stay away from the office store lower-end brands (Royal, Casio, Sharp, Brothers, etc.) as they just don’t hold up to the day-to-day pounding restaurants are famous for.

Simple Payment Systems is truly the absolute best for credit card and electronic check processing. The electronic check processes the check like a credit card. So if the check is deposited into your account ASAP from your business. If it is bad you know right away. I have done research for a long time. They give you FREE EQUIPMENT, free training, free software- with a check out cart! (if you have a web site also that you want to sell items on.) They beat discount rate quotes that you give them too. They have 24 hour live help, which is handy. Make sure you tell them you want the free program. We switched from another company over to them. And have never been happier. Go to their web site and call them or fill out the form and they can contact you. I did countless hours of research! Trust me they are the BEST.
