Whole Touchscreen Tablet as Restaurant Point of Sale – Affordable, Reliable, GolePOS Tablets

The Cozy Bistro is a small to mid-sized family-run restaurant that has been in operation for over 10 years. Over the years, they’ve been using a traditional POS system that runs on a desktop PC with their own custom POS software. However, the old desktop PC was starting to fail, and the restaurant owners were facing rising maintenance costs.

Challenges

• The Cozy Bistro was facing several issues:

  Old Desktop PC System: The desktop POS system had been in place for several years, and it was now unreliable. The hardware frequently broke down, which caused service delays and increased repair costs.

  Limited Mobility: The desktop system was fixed in one location, limiting the restaurant’s ability to process orders on the floor, especially during busy times.

  High Maintenance Costs: The cost of maintaining and repairing the outdated desktop system was becoming a burden for the restaurant, which was already trying to cut down on unnecessary expenses.

Solution

• Cost-Effective Solution:

  The owners wanted a solution that was affordable and would help them cut costs. After evaluating different options, they chose GolePOS mini tablets due to their affordable price, long battery life, and low energy consumption. The GolePOS tablets allowed the restaurant to avoid the high upfront costs of traditional POS terminals while still providing modern technology.

• Seamless Integration:

  GolePOS worked with the restaurant to ensure that their existing POS software was fully integrated with the new tablets. The software was updated to work smoothly on the tablets, allowing the restaurant to retain its original system while benefiting from the modern hardware.

• Increased Mobility and Efficiency:

  The mini touchscreen tablets were installed on the restaurant floor, giving servers the ability to take orders at the table, send them directly to the kitchen, and process payments instantly. This eliminated delays associated with walking back and forth to a fixed POS station.

  The portability of the tablets also meant that staff could easily take them to different areas of the restaurant, improving order accuracy and service speed.
