Make menus and track recipes with a POS system
Selling gourmet food is much easier with a POS (point of sale) system. The program helps you create menu items, accept payments from customers, and control warehouse balances.
Here’s how it works. 50 kg of chicken, 5 liters of soy sauce and 10 kg of onions arrive at your warehouse. You enter this data into the POS system.
The POS system also has your recipe and it knows that 1 skewer needs 150g chicken, 50ml soy sauce and 20g onion. Once you sell a dish, the corresponding amount of ingredients will be deducted from the warehouse balance.
POS systems allow you to control costs, order optimal quantities of ingredients, and not get confused in calculations. learn more here .
