APPS FOR THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR

An app or a website developed for a restaurant will help increase sales but you also need to think about how you will receive these orders. The easiest way is to use e-mail or SMS text messages. But these solutions are fraught with problems - easily missed by staff, but more importantly the message process is in the hands of your provider. The SMS or e-mail can often arrive late. This is no good at all.

The best option is to have a receipt printer within the bar, restaurant hotel etc. All staff will see the order come through (you can also have a buzzer as an extra alert), and will have a physical record of the orders. The printers can be connected together so that one could be for the bar and one for the kitchen. Best of all, they can be connected to a screen, tablet and cash drawer to make it into a full ePOS system.
