Housing all of the software you would need to maintain and grow your business in one system gives you the control and flexibility needed to grow. Here we take a look at five ways an integrate POS increases restaurant profits.
Online Ordering
Online ordering eliminates the need for additional staff to answer the phones, improves the accuracy of your orders and can actually help to increase your average order size. Since customers don’t have to worry about tying up a phone line or a table, they have additional time to explore what is available. Online ordering also allows you to build a database of customers to market to and gather business intelligence based on their orders to help tailor your offers.
Curbside Pickup
“Pick up orders allow customers the convenience of getting the food they want, without the fees, or the perception of pandemic exposure inherent to dine-in. Curbside orders also allow brands more quality control with fewer mitigators like late delivery or cold food. And, importantly, curbside pickup enables customers to interact directly with the brand to place and receive the order, keeping more dollars and data in the hands of local businesses.”
Third-Party Ordering
Third-party delivery apps have gained in popularity and appear to be here to stay. While they do come with fees attached to them, they have become an essential revenue stream for restaurants over the last year. Managing orders from each of the different services can become time consuming and arduous. InTouchPOS offers a seamless integration with these apps that allows you to manage all of your third-party orders from one system.
Mobile Apps
Having your own mobile app takes the convenience of online ordering a step further with mobile optimization and a number of additional features. With your own app, there is no chance of a customer being distracted by another business or an advertisement that would steer them away from your restaurant. With your own app you maintain greater control of the ordering process and allows you to leverage rewards programs and targeted marketing.
Delivery Service
Having an on-demand delivery service can save your restaurant money in a number of ways. While you can use your own delivery drivers, InTouchPOS offers the option of leveraging their own network of drivers. This means you would not have to employ a full-time delivery driver to handle orders even when you’re not busy. It also eliminates the reliance on third-party apps, which can come along with exorbitant fees.
