Apple Point of Sale System Combined with iPad Menu Equals Awesomeness2 min read

When you think about how far technology has really come over the past few decades, one of the greatest technological pioneers of them all, and a visionary at that, has to easily be Steve Jobs; the proprietor of Apple, inc. The reality is that Apple devices are so feature-loaded, so small (which is amazing because they really have micronized how computers are sized, yet without compromising any features and actually adding features in the process), and they are relatively well priced in the scope of other competing products. So it only seems natural that an Apple point of sale system would come along sooner rather than later, and with it – and the power of the iPad tablet – a restaurant can now affordably upgrade their POS system to an Apple point of sale system, and when imbedded on the iPad, restaurants can also offer fully featured iPad menus, too.

How an Apple Point of Sale System Works

An Apple point of sale system works much like any other app for the Apple devices would work – it’s a feature loaded program that manages and tracks inventory, generates sales and cost reports, as well as profit and loss reports, sends secure and encrypted batches to the bank and processes them as well as tracks them, and that generates one-button reports that vastly reduce the managerial time that was previously spent creating such reports. When synched to an iPad tablet, an Apple point of sale systems reduces the need for costly and bulky POS terminals to be present, and the top makers of Apple POS software don’t charge thousands for licenses. Rather, restaurant owners can simply pay a low and affordable monthly fee with no contracts and enjoy the most streamlined and advanced POS system ever derived.

Combining Apple Point of Sale System with iPad Menu

Here’s where it gets really cushy. With an Apple point of sale system, and when you choose certain software services providers, you can also implement an iPad menu for guests. Such electronic menus are featured on the iPad tablets that are handed to guests in place of an outdated paper menu. They feature high-resolution pictures of menu items, prices, details, and they offer some other nifty features as well.

• With an Apple point of sale system, the iPad menu informs guests if an item is out of stock via the integrated inventory management system
• Guests can call a waiter to the table at the push of a button
• High-resolution pictures of menu items encourage more sales (the average restaurant realizes a 30% increase in sales within the first 90 days of adding such digital menus)
• Pay at the table feature reduces time waiting to get the bill and offers a built-in gratuity calculator
• Staff functions are reduced, vastly improving customer service, loyalty and retention
• Apple point of sale system processes and tracks all orders, inventory and sales instantly
