Mobile POS has been attracting a lot of attention lately—and with good reason. A mobile POS solution can positively affect every aspect of a restaurant’s business, from shorter wait times and efficient service to a faster, more secure payment process.

Mobile restaurant point of sale technology offers all of the benefits of a traditional point of sale terminal on a unit that fits in a pocket or an apron. Especially useful during a restaurant’s peak hours, a mobile application can help table turnover via increased point of sale throughput. Mobile POS also gives restaurant servers some extra “breathing room,” as it reduces the time spent inputting orders and processing credit card payments. Servers can spend these extra minutes with their tables trying to upsell desserts, drinks or sides.

Taking orders on a mobile POS system can save a restaurant time and money by reducing the number of forgotten orders and kitchen backups, errors and resources spent remaking food or drinks that were improperly inputted into the primary workstation.

Additionally, mobile point of sale gives a restaurant another layer of protection. Payments are processed in front of patrons and their credit cards never leave the table, virtually eliminating the possibility of theft or security breach.

Some restaurants have taken mobile POS to another level by using an iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch® for interactive ordering. Although iPad® use in a restaurant is still fairly novel, some restaurants may use a wine application that allows customers to search for wine by region; color or rating and suggest food pairings from the menu.

pcAmerica’s new soon to be released mobile point of sale solution, Restaurant Pro Express™ Mobile, is ideal for a variety of hospitality environments including restaurants, bars, nightclubs, stadiums or any environment where wireless POS capability is needed. By using Restaurant Pro Express™ Mobile, business owners will find all of the features they expect on a stationary point of sale terminal on an Apple® iPod touch® or iPhone®. It will also be available for Google Android devices in future releases.
