What should a good restaurant POS actually be able to do? That is one of the first things to think about if you already run, or want to start, a restaurant or café business, because the POS is the heart of running a shop or restaurant — second only to your signature dishes and secret recipes. Beyond serving food that tastes good, there is management to handle, customers to serve, time-consuming workflows to run and tables to organise. Qashier's POS comes with a complete set of capabilities to answer all of that at your fingertips, so you can run a restaurant, café or coffee shop of any size easily, conveniently and quickly, managing front of house more efficiently than ever. Today the Qashier team has pulled together the essential functions every food business should have, plus the standout features of a POS designed to make running your restaurant easier than ever.
What can Qashier's restaurant POS do?
1. Add, edit and sell hundreds of items. However many dishes your business offers, Qashier can support them and let you add or remove menu items freely.
A POS system for restaurants should make it easy to manage menus, product lists and even prices, so you can adjust or expand your offering as you see fit through simple controls that give you full freedom to make changes. Imagine having to hunt through your menu item by item to order or edit — that would waste a lot of time. Qashier's sales management system solves that by letting you upload your entire item list in a few steps, and edit large numbers of menu items at once (bulk edit). It also comes with other functions such as member pricing and channel-based pricing (for example a dine-in price versus a takeaway price).
2. Apply discounts to an order with a single tap, so running promotions is simple rather than fiddly
Run promotional campaigns and build offers like the big brands do, easily, through Qashier's POS — impressing customers, encouraging them to buy more or to try new dishes at a special price. Setting up member pricing for your regulars is just as straightforward.
A discount function is something every POS should have, because promotions are the first lever for driving sales and can encourage customers to spend more or to come back again in future.
3. Connect easily to an external receipt printer, or print straight to the kitchen to cut work out — staff no longer have to walk dockets through to the kitchen
Qashier's POS connects easily to an external receipt printer, or sends orders directly to a kitchen printer, cutting out the time staff waste walking back and forth with orders. With order routing through printers, you can take an order at the customer's table and send it straight to the kitchen, or automatically send a drinks docket to the bar even if it sits in a different part of the shop. It is a function that greatly reduces missed orders and manual errors.
On top of that, Qashier's restaurant management system supports KDS, or Kitchen Display System, which shows outstanding dishes and customer orders so the kitchen team can see what is coming and act on it correctly and promptly. All of it is managed and connected directly and efficiently from the POS terminal from Qashier.
4. Send orders through by table number, issue receipts and let customers scan to pay with ease
Run a restaurant with many tables easily, using table management and queue management on a POS configured specifically for restaurant operations. Take orders conveniently, issue receipts on the spot, or let customers scan to pay at the table — because Qashier offers a portable POS, the QashierX1, that staff can carry to the table to take orders, send them straight to the kitchen, or walk over to settle the bill and take payment at the table. It is more convenient for both the shop and the customer, and it does a good job of easing congestion at the counter or around an old-fashioned till.
5. Let customers scan and order for themselves, cutting steps out of your staff's work
If you ask what a good restaurant POS should be able to do, then alongside the functions set out above, serving customers well and making things convenient for them matters too. Extra features such as ordering from a phone via QR code, or booking a table in advance, play an important part in running a restaurant today.
Qashier's restaurant POS also supports ordering at the table by QR code, or QR Ordering, a function suited to the way people live now. It answers customers' need for convenience, takes the pressure off them while they are choosing dishes and removes the wait for a member of staff to come and take the order. It also offloads staff so they can focus on the parts of the operation that matter most, which lifts the efficiency of the restaurant in another way.
6. Ingredient management and automatic stock deduction
Sales are a major part of running a shop, but cost is just as central. Knowing how much of each ingredient has been used and how much is left lets an operator see the real costs incurred and the cost of the ingredients that go into each dish. Qashier's restaurant management system comes with ingredient and inventory management, and lets you link the quantity of each ingredient used to a dish or an order, so stock is deducted according to the orders actually placed. That helps owners and managers see what is left and reorder in good time, and keeps a precise grip on income and expenditure.
Beyond the functions covered above, Qashier's POS and front-of-house sales management system offer many more shop management capabilities that help today's business owners run their shops more easily and more efficiently than ever.
