POS MANAGEMENT
POS management is a module that helps restaurant owners and managers to keep track of their sitting plans, item prices, and recipe information. This is designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate and can be used for a variety of tasks such as maintaining dine-in operations, adding recipes, promotional discounts, etc. POS management can be a valuable tool for any restaurant owner or manager looking to improve their operations, increase efficiency, and boost sales. It has different phases that are shown in the figure given below.
1- ADD FLOOR:
A restaurant with floor plan integration can greatly enhance the functionality of a restaurant by allowing staff to easily manage table reservations, track customer seating, and monitor server performance. When a customer makes a reservation, the floor plan integration feature allows staff to view the layout of the restaurant and select the best table for the customer’s needs.

A recipe-based POS system allows you to track ingredients and stock levels, ensuring that you never run out of items needed to prepare menu items. The system can automatically calculate each menu item’s cost based on its ingredients’ cost, helping you control food costs and maintain profitability. With recipe management, the ordering process is streamlined and faster, which can result in improved efficiency and increased sales. We can also manage our recipes of the item and can track our inventory consumptions.
4- DAILY POS PRICE:
Updating prices in the POS system helps ensure that your inventory management is accurate and that you use the most up-to-date information to make decisions about ordering, stocking, and pricing. Keeping prices up to date helps to ensure that you are charging the correct amount for each item, reducing the risk of overcharging or undercharging customers.
*In the case of Trading POS, we add the price of items from the daily POS price module.
