Restaurant point-of-sale systems have become more important for administration, stock control, and efficiency. Selecting a system has greater implications than just credit card sales processing. Small restaurants may use basic software, payroll services, and manual ordering while larger chains require server-based systems with touchscreens and hardware. Popular restaurant POS programs can take orders in multiple languages, process credit cards, manage inventory and payroll, produce custom receipts, and implement loyalty programs. However, more complex systems require extensive training and may not be suitable for all restaurants.
