Food delivery platforms such as GrabFood make ordering from home easy, and they have become hugely popular. Connecting your restaurant or café to online ordering is another way to earn, and it lifts your sales beyond what walks through the door.
But while GrabFood's delivery service puts your restaurant in front of a great many customers, adding those online orders to the ones taken at the counter is a slow business — particularly when you are juggling order devices from several platforms at once.
When an order comes in, the device the platform gave you prints a ticket. To record that order, though, you have to key the amount into your POS terminal yourself before you can print a docket for the kitchen.
Say goodbye to all that, and hello to the ease of the Qashier POS integration that takes GrabFood orders
So what does it do for you as the owner of a restaurant or café? Let's look at what connecting an online delivery platform to your shop actually gives you.
Handle GrabFood orders on a single Qashier POS terminal
Normally you have to add a customer's order to your POS terminal anyway. But when a delivery order arrives — from GrabFood, say — the shop has to add that to the POS terminal as well.
When the restaurant is at its busiest, tickets from several orders can confuse you or your team, and orders can end up out of sequence. Or you key the details in wrongly, an order goes astray, and it becomes a problem later on.
With the GrabFood integration, orders placed online go straight into a QashierX1 or QashierXL, complete with the details — an order code in the form "GF-xxxx", for instance. The ticket also prints, or goes straight to the kitchen printer, which leaves you with nothing to do but cook. Neither you nor your staff has to wrestle with several devices to take delivery orders, because a single Qashier POS terminal handles the lot.
Record your takings on the Qashier POS terminal, with no logging into several apps
The price of a dish may differ between the counter and GrabFood, and if you are running a promotion on top of that, you need to be sure the price you keyed in is right when you total up the day's sales. Qashier's POS system keeps all of that under control, which removes the nagging worry that you may have missed an order or a sale somewhere because you had tickets from too many devices. You also need to be sure the books line up properly at the end of each day, and having several delivery devices and platforms makes that job far harder.
No headaches adding sales and transactions by hand — let the Qashier POS terminal do it, all in one place.
Connecting a food delivery provider to Qashier means your transactions and sales come through a single platform. Every detail sits on one device, which makes the daily accounts far quicker.
GrabFood payments are all recorded in the same place, and if you want to look at nothing but the GrabFood orders, you simply tap "GrabFood" to filter down to the delivery orders you want.
Qashier's analytics also let you total up and report sales by day, by week and by month, and you can look at all of it on your phone or tablet. You will know which dishes sell best, too. Rather than chasing transactions across several platforms, save your energy for new dishes and for growing the business.
Keep your menu in one place — no copying it across several platforms
If you like coming up with new dishes, or you run a seasonal menu, you simply update the items and the prices on the online platform and customers see the new menu straight away. And if your restaurant doesn't use printed menus, it saves you the cost of reprinting them every time something changes. Once you have signed up to Qashier's front-of-house system with the GrabFood integration, managing the menu happens through your Qashier account.
Updating your restaurant's menu on GrabFood can be done in Qashier POS, and the system pushes it to GrabFood automatically, so you don't waste time updating the menu in the portal yourself.
You can run the shop smoothly by keeping the menu on one platform, connected to one system, with none of the headache of juggling several. That leaves you time to concentrate on the cooking. Happy customers, happy restaurant.
