Planning to open a restaurant in Thailand? Welcome to an exciting new road. There is a great deal ahead of you to look after and decide on, from ingredients to management to choosing a POS for the restaurant.
A POS system you can rely on matters enormously, because it shapes how the business runs each day and how you serve your guests. The POS you want is the one that fits naturally into your restaurant's daily routine and has the functions to help the business grow.
What follows are a few short tips to help you decide which POS is right for you.
So here are the tips and the method for choosing a restaurant POS.
Tip 1: Understand what kind of restaurant you are
When you start looking at POS systems, you first need to know the type and the size of your restaurant, because both shape the POS you will need.
A POS for each type of restaurant
A small restaurant with quick orders and quick payments needs a nimble, portable, practical POS such as QashierX1.
A large, full-service restaurant or a fine-dining room, by contrast, suits a counter-top POS such as QashierXL — which can also work alongside a portable POS such as QashierX1, or an Android tablet running Qashier POS, that servers carry with them to take orders and payment at the table.
And if your restaurant does food delivery, a POS such as Qashier connects to the delivery platforms, making it easy to sell your food on Grab. Or if you want a relaxed atmosphere, you might choose QR menu ordering to make the service more efficient and the meal more enjoyable, letting guests order without waiting for a server.
A POS for restaurants of different sizes
The size of your restaurant is another factor to weigh when choosing a POS. For a small single-site restaurant, one terminal is enough. A mid-sized restaurant with several outlets, though, may need a POS that supports multi-outlet management along with the peripherals that go with it.
Tip 2: Know which POS features your restaurant actually needs
If you are a small restaurant just starting out, managing the budget sensibly is essential. The ideal POS is one whose capabilities can be adjusted to the size of your business as you need them, and Qashier POS is known for being scalable and for tailoring the system to the business. As you grow, you can move to the POS package that suits your food and drink business at that point.
POS and taking payment
Payment comes in more forms than ever these days: cash, scan-to-pay, credit cards. Switching between them can leave your staff confused, so a POS that takes every payment method on one device makes life much easier. Qashier POS takes cash and scan-to-pay, and can also connect to an EDC terminal to accept credit cards.
Advanced POS features
Qashier has other advanced POS features too, such as the kitchen display system (KDS), which makes the kitchen run more smoothly with no need to print order tickets, and QashierHQ's multi-store management, which covers multi-outlet restaurants comprehensively and keeps operations running smoothly at every outlet.
Tip 3: Keep up with the trends
For an owner who is busy all day, keeping up with POS trends is not easy. But there is no need to worry: with Qashier, the system and the software are kept up to date for you, so you can be confident your POS and your payments run smoothly and meet what your customers expect.
Why Qashier is the best choice for restaurants in Thailand
A complete POS system in a single device
Qashier stands out as an excellent choice of restaurant POS in Thailand for several reasons. Its design breaks with traditional POS systems: where restaurants once needed a bulky terminal, Qashier combines a wide range of functions in one device — till, shop management system and built-in receipt printer. That all-in-one approach not only saves counter space but simplifies operations, which makes it an outstanding solution for restaurants in Thailand.
Growing alongside your business
Another key advantage of Qashier POS is how well it scales. We designed our POS to grow with your business, from a small restaurant to a multi-outlet franchise — which matters in a Thai restaurant industry as varied and as fast-moving as this one.
Qashier's cloud platform also gives you real-time data and insight, something traditional POS systems lack. Immediate access to that analysis lets restaurant owners make informed decisions, keep track of what customers want, and adapt to trends far more effectively.
Support for QR payments
Qashier POS now supports QR payments in Thailand, with many more payment channels coming soon, so you can be confident your shop can meet the needs of customers moving ever faster towards digital, cashless transactions.
In closing
Choosing the right POS is the key to your restaurant's success. Understanding what you specifically need and what the latest POS systems can do — along with what sets Qashier POS apart, from how easy the device and the system are to use, to its all-in-one functionality and real-time insight — will guide you to a sound decision. With Qashier's innovative, customer-focused approach, you are choosing a partner that develops alongside your business.
