5 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Point-of-Sale

As you close out another year, you’re probably reflecting on what worked and what you want to improve on in 2020. One thing that might be holding you back is an outdated or expensive point-of-sale. Here are a few reasons it might be time to upgrade yours.

1. If there’s more steam coming from your ears than your kitchen.

Cut down on confusion in your back of house and eliminate a few headaches. With VersiPOS, you can say goodbye to confusing kitchen tickets and inaccurate prep lists. Our goal is to remove a lot of the stress that comes from managing your business. Our platform can help you cut down on costs from comped meals and other food waste, while lowering ticket times—and never losing a ticket. This all leads to you saving hundreds of dollars a month.

2. If you’re feeling tied down to your fixed POS terminals.

During busy times, just a few trips back and forth to the POS terminal can quickly add up. Which means less time focusing on customers. VersiPOS Mobile is our answer to giving your staff the freedom to take orders and payments from anywhere. Our handheld POS has the full functionality of a fixed terminal, so you’ll never sacrifice features for speed. VersiPOS Mobile is also a great way to save space in your dining or bar area.

3. Manage your restaurant in real-time, from anywhere.

Most reporting models do a good job of showing how you did the previous month. But by the end of the month, you’ve already missed those opportunities. Sure, it can help you plan for the next month, but wouldn’t it be nice to adjust on the fly? The reporting you get with VersiPOS gives you real-time reporting so you can make better business decisions now, not later. Get key business metrics sent to your inbox each night so you can know what to change before you open the next day. 

4. If you’re flushing money down the drain over wasted food and drink.

Let’s face it—being a profitable restaurant or bar is always an uphill battle. Knowing how much inventory to order can often feel like a guessing game you never win. Well, we built tools into VersiPOS that make it easier for you to track what you’re using and how much. When you can cut down on waste you can grow your bottom line. Or, let’s say you’re running out of popular items. This can cause you to miss out on sales. With VersiPOS, you can see your hottest sellers to make sure you’re prepared to keep your customers happy.

5. If the cost of your current POS is eating your profits.

We’ve given you four reasons why switching to VersiPOS is a smart decision, but the most important reason is the amazing value. In most cases, we’re able to eliminate POS software fees altogether, where most providers charge separately for merchant processing and software. With this many benefits, switching to VersiPOS will be the smartest decision you make all year.
