I have seen the glow at night and the reflection in the daytime – iPads have arrived in the restaurant business! Staff with iPad scurrying back and forth, guests holding them and swiping through wine choices, menu choices, even reviewing the specials of the day. Touch the item and get the complete ingredient list – not exciting and no big deal? Tell that to someone with a gluten intolerance or someone with severe allergies – they will tell you it’s a big deal indeed.

For restaurant owners the cost to change a menu can be very expensive and the higher quality the menu the greater the expense. Some places have inserts and can get away with just a piece of paper for a menu change, other places cost way more and either have to use a cheesy sticker or do a complete re-order. With an iPad you can easily add a new dish, change a price or drop something off and instantly update all of your menus – too easy and as cheap as it gets! An iPad for restaurants POS system can support any and all of these things, as long as it’s highly functional and feature rich.

In fact a really good iPad POS system can allow ...
... you a great level of integration in the restaurant. Orders can be sent direct to the kitchen for the expediter to manage, error rates will be way down, productivity will be noticeably increased. Waiters can use it to settle bills (adjusting where necessary) and wait staff can even use them to make wine suggestions, talk up specials or even upcoming events.

An iPad for restaurants system can also be used for reservations, seating plans and even event planning if it’s built right. The iPads are easy for an IT group to support and don’t add much burden from a maintenance standpoint. There’s no wiring needed as they are wireless and user training is next to nothing, and in some case no training at all is needed.

Managers get great utility as well as they can see a complete view and can easily review sales, staff productivity and even see how many specials are being ordered.

Ipad Point of Sale are clearly a great fit for the hospitality industry and will give traditional POS systems a real run for their money. With their portability, easy programmability, ease of use, wireless connection and all of the other great features it will be really hard to beat.
