7 Must-Have Functions in Today’s Takeaway EPOS System

Because things are very fast-moving in the food service industry, your takeaway needs something more than a standard till. With a modern Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) system, you can make your entire operation more efficient, from taking orders to control over stock, handling deliveries and encouraging customers to return.

If you are choosing an EPOS system for your takeaway in the UK, here are seven important things to consider.

1. User-Friendly Interface

An interface that is straightforward to use is necessary. It’s important for your team to pick up the system fast, as it speeds up learning and lessens the possibility of errors at peak times. Look for an app that is easy to use, provides easy touch access and lets you open pages and tools rapidly.

2. Online Ordering Integration

Seeing the rise in online orders, your EPOS should be able to work smoothly with your website and leading service websites like Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Just Eat. This helps items be added quickly, with minimal mistakes and work moves along swiftly.

3. Live Inventory Management

A service disrupted by out-of-stock products is a true disaster. It should be possible to monitor ingredients, receive warnings when stock gets low and have the system reorder these automatically with your suppliers.

4. Loyalty and Reward Programmes

Allow customers to collect points or enjoy discounts to visit again in the future. A good EPOS system will help you handle discounts, rewards or stamp cards for your customers without depending on outside help.

5. Robust Security and Data Compliance

The protection of data cannot be ignored. Pick an EPOS that can encrypt data, respects UK GDPR guidelines and provides secure payment options for your business and customers.

6. Scalability for Future Growth

Think long-term. As your business grows, your EPOS should adapt, allowing you to buy extra hardware, upgrade your software and handle more branches.

7. Dependable Support and Training

Support should be available to you as soon as problems arise. Ensure the brokerage you select provides reliable help during the entire joining process, customer support from the UK and fast solutions for problems during peak trading hours.

Final Thoughts

A proper EPOS system does more than handle your cash, it serves as the main way to run your takeaway well. Make sure the system you choose includes the main features that benefit your company and its customers.
