With the rising cost of equipment and expertise; your Point of Sale System and day to day business analysis is becoming more and more essential and costly. To get the most out of your investment we have decided to address essential topics that should be planned for to make your technology ownership more meaningful to you and your business.
First and foremost get to know the company you would like to
do business with. How long has the technology company been in business? What
does the Technology Department there have to offer? What kind of Equipment is recommended?
How does the company plan for future functionality and ancillary technological
advances? Think about it; technology is advancing at an alarming rate; what’s
new today is obsolete at an expediential rate.
What is your technology company going to do to protect your investments
and keep your system running for the years ahead? Another factor that you may feel is
important…does your technology company handle the intricacies of the Point of
Sale Operations necessary to implement for the hospitality industry?
Next; test
your recommended solution’s ability to expand.
A sustainable solution means that your Point of Sale Solution will be
flexible enough to expand and adapt. For
example; programming can be completed “on the fly” so that new personnel can be
added quickly or; menu item updates can occur immediately during the shift to
provide instant access to functions necessary to complete shift activities.
Perhaps a deck has opened and you’re expanding service to a different area, or
you have a party that wants a particular menu that you need to add and use
right away. Think of the scenarios that might happen at your place and how it
would be great if YOUR Point of Sale System was able to adapt to each.
The purpose
is to make your initial investment and then minimize the expenses that you
might have down the road when you want to upgrade. Ask questions like; will YOUR Point of Sale
System be expensive to upgrade? Will I
have to upgrade the software? The
hardware? Will your solution be able to
connect to additional devices you might add, such as Tablets or Cell Phones? Remember; You need a system that meets your
present and future needs.
Then
always think ahead…Consider YOUR future needs. Create a Plan
that includes specific information about your future goals. Such as staffing, locations, whether you plan
to expand on premise, identify your objectives and define how you want your
Point of Sale to function….Make a list…. what will it need to do? Payroll,
inventory, office functions like scheduling balancing and more? If you plan; then you can select the Point of
Sale system that CAN and Will offer the flexibility to use the system now and
keep it effective and fully functional in the future.
As with
any great technology plan you have to think about how to keep the hardware and
software running at peak performance. Version upgrades, updates and hardware
requirements all have to be updated. Any Point of Sale solution you invest in will have related
maintenance costs that require patches, fixes and preventative maintenance that
will help maximize the life of your Point of Sale System. If you take the time
to ask questions to your potential Point of Sale Provider you’ll avoid choosing a solution that wasn’t one you
could use now and in the future.
