Key Features You Need in a Bar POS System

A reliable bar POS system makes running your business easier by helping manage your sales, staff, and inventory. But, most importantly, it can help you deliver a seamless customer experience, which is key in the hospitality industry.

Bar & Liquor Inventory Management
How much food and/or liquors do you have on hand? What are your profit margins? Having this knowledge at your fingertips is critical. That’s why inventory management is one of the most important features of a good bar POS system.

Payment Preauthorization
Preauthorization of payments allows bartenders to swipe a customer’s credit or debit card and securely save these details as their bar tab. Then, the bartender can verify whether the card is real and has enough funds to pay the bill. This is very important because frauds through fake credit cards have become common these days.

Order Customization
Not all bars offer the same drinks. Maybe, you’ve come up with some unique concoctions for your menu that no one else in town serves, so you need a bar POS fully customized to your unique business needs.

Easy Menu Management
Happy hours! Relaxing Saturday! Fun Drinks! You may need to change your menu every now and then. So, look for a bar POS system that can keep up with your happy hour menu and seasonal brew changes, plus inventory changes from day to day or week to week.

Cloud Technology
In today’s fast-paced world, you need a solution that can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. In addition, it should scale as your business grows and enhance customer experience. If you’re after such a solution, look for a bar POS system powered by cloud technology. It’s a futuristic restaurant tech that customers also love.

Detailed Sales & Customer Reporting
A bar POS system with a built-in customer relationship management (CRM) system helps collect visitors’ contact and order details. You can use this information to drive more sales by sending notifications about promotions and offers. You can figure out your biggest customers and invite them to make reservations during special events.

Order Management
Being an owner, manager, or waiter, you need to manage the flow of information from tables to the kitchen. This has to be accurate and timely. The best POS system for bars lets you customize and manage these messaging sequences from floor to the kitchen.

There is a long list of features you might need in a POS system. Just make sure you determine (or even write down) all features you must have before you start looking for a bar POS system that will provide what your business needs.
