Electronic Point-of-Sale or EPOS, is a system that processes transactions between a restaurant and its customers. A modern EPOS system is a combination of hardware and software that facilitates the management of your restaurant. In the context of a restaurant, a POS system refers to a computerised system used to track all sales, increase efficiency and provide an accurate inventory. Restaurant POS systems can also handle payments, track employee hours, and issue receipts.
POS software lets the restaurant owner manage inventory, monitor employee activity, and analyse sales data.
