Online ordering integration

Foodship allows restaurants to integrate Foodship point-of-sale system with our online food ordering system. This helps the restaurant to save time as the manager can keep track of both online and offline orders in one place without any clutter.

Advantages of POS Integration with Online Ordering

High retention rate: As a restaurant provides both online and offline platforms to place orders, customers are more likely to keep coming back to your restaurant instead of going to another one.

Excellent Customer Relationship Management: By receiving both online and offline orders on the same device, the restaurant never misses any orders. Additionally, it is easier for restaurants to run loyalty programs and discount vouchers on a single platform. 

Run on any device

Foodship restaurant billing software allows restaurant staff to access the system from any device, that includes POS devices, handheld devices like tablets/mobile, and laptops/desktops.

The importance of this feature is to provide flexibility and convenience to staff members to take orders from anywhere in the restaurant, thus improving customer service.

Cloud-based admin panel

Foodship’s cloud-based application allows restaurant owners or managers to access the admin panel of our POS system from anywhere using an internet connection. This gives them the flexibility to perform tasks such as managing menus, running restaurant analytics, managing employee access and permissions, viewing reports, and monitoring real-time data.

This allows them to analyze the restaurant’s performance in real time and make informed business decisions, even when they are not physically present at the restaurant.

Printer integration

Printer integration is a crucial feature in Foodship point of sale (POS) systems that allow the POS system to communicate with and control printers in the kitchen, bar, or other areas of the restaurant.

When a customer places an order, the POS system sends the order details to the appropriate printer(s) based on the items ordered and their preparation requirements. For example, a drink order would be sent to the bar printer while a food order would be sent to the kitchen printer. This integration improves order accuracy, increased efficiency, and enhanced communication between front-of-house and back-of-house staff.

Role and Permission

Restaurant managers can assign different levels of access and control to different staff members, based on their roles and responsibilities. For eg: The manager can assign shifts, view reports, apply discounts, and update menus, the cashier can only accept orders, process payment, and void transactions, and waiter can only check its own shift timing.

The main benefit of this feature is, sensitive information and operations are restricted to authorized personnel only, thus reducing the risk of fraud or other security breaches. At the same time, employees have the necessary tools and functions to perform their job duties.

 

Bill Splits

The advantage of the bill splits feature in the point-of-sale system is, it allows customers to easily divide the cost of their meals among friends and provide them with multiple payment options. This feature makes sure that customer has a hassle-free and well-organized checkout process with zero errors or disputes. Bill splits can be done in different ways:

Run POS on multiple screens

Restaurants can run the Foodship POS system on multiple screens. The main benefit of a multi-screen setup is restaurant staff can view and manage multiple orders simultaneously, which can improve efficiency and save time.

The importance of a multi-screen setup is for restaurants that offer dine-in and delivery/takeout services. Different orders can be received and processed on different screens.
