Does Your POS System Work for You, or Do You Work for It?

Most operators already know that forcing employees to use outdated POS systems cuts productivity, which leads to profit losses. There are so many options and buzzwords floating around, however, that many aren’t ready to make a switch for fear of the unknown. This panel will discuss the increasing demand in the fast casual community for a cloud-based POS software model and will explain how they can incorporate everything from native loyalty and ordering modules to applications designed to make the deployment of third-party integrations easy.
