When iPad Point of Sale Meets iPad Menus End Result is Awesomeness3 min read

So many things are brought to us by technology every year that it’s nearly mind boggling to keep track of them all. In par with that notion are the newer digital concepts that are sweeping the globe. In the food service industry in particular, one new solution includes using iPad tablets as your primary point of sale hub and POS system, and also using them as iPad digital menus, too. There are a few software providers that offer an integrated iPad point of sale system that features all the features of traditional POS software, but without the bulky and costly terminals, and overpriced software that often requires purchasing expensive multiple-use licenses.

What is an iPad Point of Sale System?

An iPad point of sale system is a POS solution that integrates cutting-edge software that is compatible with any iPad tablet or Apple powered device. It features all of the nifty perks that people have grown to love about traditional POS software – such as inventory management and tracking, secure batch processing, profit and loss reports, cost reporting, daily sales projections and quarterly reporting and much more – but without the confusing hassles of usage (as most POS programs are rather complex). And more importantly, without the generally astronomically high associated price tag involved that is attached to costly point of sale software and POS terminals.

How Much Does an iPad Point of Sale System Cost?

An iPad point of sale system is actually more than 95% cheaper than traditional point of sale is, especially when you factor that the main POS terminal can be run from a very affordable and slim iPad tablet device. When comparing the costs of POS terminals, which can range from $1,000 – $2,000, or more, per terminal, an iPad point of sale terminal only costs you the price of an iPad tablet—which can range from $200-$500 (per tablet) depending upon added features. Do the math, and an iPad point of sale system is far more cost effective than traditional POS is.

Using iPad Menus with iPad Point of Sale for All-in-One Solution

Here’s the best part of the iPad point of sale solution: you can link it to iPad digital menus and hand guests delectable Apple tablets that they use in place of paper menus when they are seated at your restaurant. Staff can then focus upon providing better customer service, while customers scan menu items, view high resolution pictures of them, read detailed descriptions, call a waiter to their table, place orders and tender payment securely via integrated POS software. When merged together, not only is an iPad point of sale system more cost effective and feature loaded than traditional POS, but it offers something more that POS can’t ever hope to compare to on its own: iPad digital menus that attract more guests and drive more business with a secure and state-of-the-art, point of sale solution.
