Retail POS, What Do I Need?
Last week I spent a lot of time talking to business owners, one location I was visiting I had the owner tell me the most important feature was the PRICE of a system to them.
I disagree!
I have spent twenty years as a FEATURE guy, focusing on what a business needs and how the features of different solutions are crucial to a successful point of sale solution implementation.
After talking to the owner about everything from price embedded bar-codes, to weight scales, to EBT it turned out that price for sure was not the most important feature. A simple solution would not have come close to helping this business.
Can I help you find the solution for your store that will serve your business?
What features do you need?

Restaurant POS Systems – What is the difference?
This question was posed to me when I met with the owner of two Italian restaurants this past Friday. What is the difference in all of these systems now?
My response was “All of these systems, what do you mean?”
I learned first hand from a very savvy business owner that there are a lot of companies reaching out to him to offer him a POS System. I also learned that they were offering one single solution, be it a tablet or a traditional solution – and pushing what they offered hard.
None of the companies took the time to talk to this business owner about features, and features are what make the biggest difference.
These two restaurants needed reservation tracking, table clearing features, kitchen messaging, market price item setup, and much more. I learned this because I sat and asked to be taught about the business.
Twice this business owner has purchased solutions that were not a fit for his business.
I can tell you, that wont happen again. Now he will have a solution that does what his business needs, and nothing that it does not.
Would you like to talk about your business needs with me, and learn about the Restaurant Solutions my team has to offer?

What POS System is Best for MY Store??
Have you looked into buying a new POS System and thought to yourself “I wonder what system is best for my business”? If so, you are not alone. Nearly all of the business owners I talk 
to want to buy a system that is going to have the right features to support the business. Unfortunately tons of businesses either over-buy or under-buy when it comes to their POS Technology.
Before making a decision, talk to an expert – call me or email me for a free consultation/discussion about the Point of Sale market and the best solution for your business!
Don’t make a mistake and get a system that won’t work for you and your business.
