The evolution of technology has been nothing short of amazing overall, but the ‘leg up’ that technology is giving to small businesses is unbelievable. From reducing staffing costs, increasing efficiency and reducing error, it seems that the advantages of Cafe EPoS systems, or any small businesses for that matter are never ending and the future is looking bright for the continuing transformations. Here are the 5 reasons why every small business needs a pos system.

1. Increasing Productivity

You may easily look up past transactions using an iPad POS system at the touch of a button. If you needed to know the number of sales from last Wednesday, for example, a point of sale system provides that information quickly. Using a cash register to get the same answer would require many, many hours of labour and the productivity levels drop almost immediately, alongside the natural rise in frustration - so that is a double win in my eyes. 

On a point-of-sale device, every step of the procedure is faster, from authorising a credit card transaction to generating a customer receipt. This can help you stay organised, allowing you to provide speedier service and devote more time to improve customer service and overall happiness and give your attention to all of the small bits and bobs that you have not had the time to devote your attention to.

Using an iPad POS correctly ensures a much higher level of cash management control. The system will show the projected and actual amount of petty cash taken assuming all transactions are entered, with the extra functionality of adding the reason each time cash goes in and out. Even the most basic iPad POS system will reveal even the tiniest inconsistencies - our EPOS systems for cafes, EPOS for bars, every EPOS system in fact outline inconsistencies with a handy and very practical visual representation to identify issues quickly.

 2. Inventory Control

You can see all of your inventory in real time, flag goods for reorder, and search up product details, something even the best cash register can't accomplish. Another advantage of using a smart iPad or tablet POS system is that it virtually removes the need for an inventory clerk. The hours that have been spent on stock counts and that dreaded feeling when you realise you have forgotten to order an essential item - well those days are gone.

You can make personalised purchase orders with our EPOS systems, effectively eliminating an extra step in the ordering process. You may even automate parts of the ordering process to ensure that your best-selling items never run out - the future is here.

3. Human Error Reduction

We are all human and mistakes do happen, they happen every day, no matter how much effort goes into ensuring they don’t, some simply slip through the cracks. In the hospitality industry, for example, servers would be able to take orders directly onto an iPad rather than memorising or writing them down, both of which have the possibility for error. 

Orders accepted directly on an iPad can also be delivered directly to the kitchen, removing the need to physically convey orders to the cash register, either on paper or by memory. A good POS system should also include protections to ensure that information is entered correctly before the transaction is completed - which our system is enabled with so you can rest easy and say goodbye to the days running to correct mistakes.

Modern workers are more comfortable utilising a computerised POS system than an older, more traditional cash register since the generation now entering the workforce has grown up surrounded by computer technology - the evolution is unavoidable.

4. Increasing Profits and Sales

Our EPOS system can analyse sales patterns to find top-selling items as well as their equally significant counterparts - low-selling items. This reduces the need to keep track of what is and is not selling manually. Our POS systems, when used correctly (there is training) can have a big impact on sales, allowing you to maximise profit potential.

With an increase and a decrease in staffing costs, costly mistakes and over ordering, the difference in gross profit industry wide really are staggering and they are waiting for you, at the touch of a button - quite literally.

5. Repair and Maintenance Costs

Our POS systems are cheaper in maintenance and repair costs than a traditional cash register system. The number of organisations who repair broken cash registers is decreasing, which means that repair costs are rising and to save yourself a costly trip to fix an old technology, now really is the time to invest in a POS system, join the crowds that are benefiting from them and step into the future. Vendors who specialise in fixing iPad and tablet POS systems are growing in number, with considerably lower repair prices than their cash register counterparts, thanks to a boom in companies adopting those systems.
