The POS is one of the most important elements in your business — making it even more important to find a quality POS company. When shopping for a new POS, you should be aware of two things: the product itself and the company that is selling it. Since each company offers its own unique experience, it's smart to do some research before choosing a POS provider.

When it comes to running a successful restaurant, speed and quality of service are essential elements. On such busy nights as Saturday, there's nothing more frustrating than when a slow or unhelpful Point of Sale system causes delays and displeases customers. Everyone wants to know that their POS is going to be reliable. So when choosing a software solution, make sure you consider these questions:

• is Its Interface User-friendly and Able to Be Tailored for Roles?
• Will It Accept All Types of Payment and Handle Things Such as Splitting Bills?
• What Features Could Help Quicken Up Service?
• How Much Time Does Each Transaction Take?
• And What Happens in Case There's an Internet Outage? Will Orders Still Be Taken or Must Everything Revert Back to Paper Sheets?
