Abstracts: Restaurant POS is restaurant management software which performs all the tasks beginning with taking orders from patrons and ending with billing and tax reports. The user interface is carefully optimized for high speed input of a patron's order and the prevention of common mistakes. It's designed for using on multiple computers, and contains reliable and secure authorization levels. The layouts of the bill can be customized, and the program can be set up for any currencies, taxes, and gratuities. Payments can be accepted by cash, credit cards, or checks. For managers, there is a rich set of reports that shows a complete picture of restaurant operations and life cycles: menu consumption, reservation frequency, hours of high restaurant load, busiest tables, most active employees, payment methods, and automatic tax calculations. By standardizing the entire restaurant management process, the software radically improves serving speed. This system drastically cut down total operating costs and mistakes due to human error. Just imagine how much longer the order process would take if no such solutions existed? For instance, a customer drives upto the drive-thru window and places the order. Then the cashier takes down the order (probably on a piece of paper), receives payment, brings the order slip to the kitchen area for them to start cooking the order then hands it to the customer. The few seconds it takes to walk back and forth, although may not seem like much - heavily impacts the overall quantity & quality of the daily sales. Features of this system includes taking orders, serving orders and billing which comes under transaction module, adding item, editing item, deleting item and creating new account which comes under administration module, viewing sales report, viewing transaction log and viewing waiter performance report which comes under reports module, and miscellaneous features such as sales counterchecking and analysis, keeping track of all transactions and tracking waiter performance are also included. The major advantages of this system are CRM (Customer-Relations-Management) which will keep track of customers by storing their details and their purchase history and also provides quick and accurate sales by making sure that everything runs smoothly on every transaction.
