Restaurants win on speed and accuracy. Orders that reach the kitchen at once and bills that are right are what owners pay for.
Key takeaways
- Orders reach the kitchen at once
- Bills that are right
- See what sells
- Waiters free to serve
01What owners tell you
A busy restaurant runs on the gap between the waiter and the kitchen. Every lost order and every wrong bill is a lost customer.
- Orders written on paper get lost or misread.
- The kitchen is shouted at and the waiters wait.
- Bills are added up by hand and mistakes happen.
- The owner cannot see which dishes make money.
- Cash is hard to count at closing.
02The words that sell
Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to restaurant.
03Say it like this
Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words.
- “Your waiters send the order and the kitchen prints it at once.”
- “Your bills will be right every time, so no more arguments.”
- “You will see which dishes sell and which you can drop.”
- “You will close the day in minutes, not hours.”
04Your 30-second pitch
Say this when you have the owner's attention at the counter. Stop after the question and let them answer.
05What the POS gives them
| Part | What the owner gets |
|---|---|
| Touch POS terminal | Takes orders and bills quickly |
| Kitchen printer | Orders print where the cooks work |
| Receipt printer | Clear bills for guests |
| Cash drawer | Safe cash handling and quick closing |
| Handheld or tablet | Waiters order at the table |
| Pagers or table call buttons | Guests and staff call each other quietly |
06Answers to the usual objections
| The owner says | You answer |
|---|---|
| My menu changes every day. | You edit the menu on the screen in a minute. |
| Waiters will not use it. | Tablets are as easy as a phone, and they save the waiters steps. |
| Power cuts will stop us. | A UPS keeps the till and kitchen printer running. |
| We are too small. | Small restaurants lose most to lost orders. A small system fits. |
