Over 1,500 individual independent operators participated and provided detailed feedback on over 100 different POS systems.<\/p>\n<p> Choosing a point of sale system is considered to be one of the most important decisions any restaurant operator makes. With the average cost of a POS system approaching the $20,000 mark, it&#8217;s not only an expensive decision but one that affects ongoing restaurant operations in several crucial areas.<\/p>\n<p> A POS system should be one of a restaurant&#8217;s most important assets by providing cash and inventory controls, improved speed of service, better decision-making and even sales growth opportunities. This survey confirms that if properly chosen, a POS can potentially pay for itself in a matter of months. But conversely, selecting the wrong system or one from the wrong vendor can become a source of operational problems and ongoing frustration for the operator for years to come.<\/p>\n<p> Survey results indicate a strong correlation between the operators&#8217; degree of overall satisfaction with their POS system and their relationship with the POS vendor.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Operators that had good experiences with respect to vendor training and support, be it online or on site, generally reported they were pleased with their POS choice,&#8221; said Joe Erickson, Vice President of RestaurantOwner.com.<\/p>\n<p> Survey questions captured operator responses regarding their POS system&#8217;s ease-of-use, programmability and reliability. Participants also rated the quality of vendor training and ongoing support as well as common POS features such as reporting, timekeeping and inventory control. <\/p>\n<p> In addition, many survey participants provided extensive comments about their experiences with the functional aspects of their POS system and the quality of the vendor training and support they received. <\/p>\n<p> For more information on the Restaurant POS Survey results, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.RestaurantOwner.com\/survey.htm\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.RestaurantOwner.com\/survey.htm<\/a> . <\/p>\n<p> Organization Website: www.RestaurantOwner.com .<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: RestaurantOwner.com<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/12-0118-rstownr_72dpi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"RestaurantOwner.com\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/12-0118-rstownr_72dpi.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/12-0118-rstownr_72dpi.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID: 2012-01-0118-001 (7593) :: 2012-01-0118-001<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: Joe Erickson, RestaurantOwner, independent restaurant operators, point of sale systems, survey, hospitality industry, POS systems, reporting, timekeeping and inventory control, Houston Texas RestaurantOwner.com Houston Texas HOUSTON, Texas<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Alternate Headline: Report: Over 1,500 Independent Restaurateurs Reveal Virtues and Shortcomings of Their Existing POS System<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><strong>NEWS ARCHIVE NOTE:<\/strong> this archival news content, issued by the news source via Send2Press Newswire, was originally located in the Send2Press&reg; 2004-2015 2.0 news platform and has been permanently converted\/moved (and redirected) into our 3.0 platform.
