Over 1,100 Independent Restaurateurs Reveal Virtues and Shortcomings of Their Existing POS System<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — RestaurantOwner.com, a membership website for independent restaurant operators, has released, on their website, the results of a detailed survey of their members’ experiences with their current point of sale systems. Over 1,100 individual independent operators participated and provided detailed feedback on over 80 different POS systems.<\/p>\n

\"RestaurantOwner\"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’s not only an expensive decision but one that affects ongoing restaurant operations in several crucial areas.<\/p>\n

A POS system should be one of a restaurant’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

Survey results indicate a strong correlation between the operators’ degree of overall satisfaction with their POS system and their relationship with the POS vendor. “Operators that had good experiences with respect to vendor training & support, be it online or on site, generally reported they were pleased with their POS choice,” said Joe Erickson, Vice President of RestaurantOwner.com.<\/p>\n

Survey questions captured operator responses regarding their POS system’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

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
