It’s a great time to be a small business or restaurant owner if you are a millennial. A recent study showed by the SBCD showed that 49% of Millennials want to start their own business in the next three years. Over half would say goodbye to the daily grind to start their own business with the right resources.

Good job there are plenty of Point of Sale systems to help you get ahead of the curve.

So, why jump on the entrepreneurial wagon? How can a great POS System help me?

INDEPENDENCE. The biggest plus to being your own boss is Independence. You make the decisions; you choose what you do and when you do it. It is important to arm yourself with technology that can grow with you. A POS system can add devices easily. Opening an additional stall at a farmer’s market? Adding a pop up shop during peak season? POS can help you with that, you don’t even need more hardware. You can do it from that smartphone of yours!

CONTROL. Control is a wonderful thing. As a business owner, from concept to creation every inch of the business is in your hands. Complete immersion in your business can be thrilling and overwhelming, so why not use POS to work FOR you. POS improves inventory visibility, helps track sales and works with you to manage total counts and shelf inventory. With a system that can track product to such a high caliber, you will be able to make future inventory predictions more accurately.

FLEXIBILITY Perhaps the biggest plus to running a small business is flexibility. Smaller staff sizes allow businesses to develop personal relationships with the customer, leading to repeat business. With a system like POS you can make sure the customer experience is the top priority. Freeing up employees from time consuming book keeping to focus on activities related to boosting clientele service. Faster checkouts and easy to use systems have customers leaving already planning their next visit.

Point of Sale technology enables businesses to improve efficiency, productivity and transparency by tracking sales, cash flow, food/ingredients and inventory as well as simplifying bookkeeping.

POS solutions make it easier, especially during peak hours, for the tracking of high volumes of cash, credit card sales and inventory. A good point of sale system cuts down on theft within a restaurant because each server is accountable for their sales both cash and credit card.

Here are more POS functions that could help you run your business:

Point of sale systems streamline operations and keep communication lines clear between wait staff and the kitchen. An order is keyed into the POS and printed in the kitchen.
POS systems store more information than the traditional cash register making the information accessible to the business owner at any given time.
Business owners can keep track of everything from food/ingredient usage to tracking the most popular menu items.
Checking out customers is easier for retail business owners because of barcode scanning.
Business owners can access inventory in real time, retrieving exact figures on products or items sold; tracking the movement of ingredients or items effortlessly.
Because staff must log into the POS system to begin their shift the POS system also acts as a time clock and becomes the source of reference when preparing payroll.
Saving time and money in bookkeeping, most POS systems have the capacity to organize and create profit and loss statements as well as sales tax statements.

POS systems consolidate the whole of your restaurant or retail business with different features to help keep your business streamlined, efficient and transparent.
