    About this ebook

    Find the Best POS System for Your Restaurant in 3 Easy Steps is a complete guide for restaurant owners and managers considering a POS system. Written by Bob Frazier, an experienced POS industry insider for over 20 years, it demystifies and at times debunks,the process of buying a restaurant POS system, by looking at each step without the confusion that so many POS sellers put into their process. He purposely shows the reader what is and what is not needed and how the proper selection will make the POS system investment quickly pay for itself. Written without allegiance to any particular POS system, it is the ultimate guide for restaurant POS buyers.
    This eBook begins by exploring why a restaurant would need a POS system. Bob Frazier points out that some small restaurants might only need a cash register or simple tablet solution if they only have a few items or sales categories. Most restaurants need a POS system to insure efficiency in both the front of the house and the back. If a restaurant is faced with problems such as errors in guest checks, lack of cash balancing, food and beverage inventory controls and/or staff timekeeping issues, then it is time to invest in a restaurant POS system. If selected and used properly a restaurant POS system will quickly pay for itself in the money it saves.
    By taking the reader through a step by step description of critical restaurant functions, Frazier is able to point out what features are necessary to help their restaurant run smoothly and avoid the ones that are “added on” and unnecessary just to increase the price of the system. A well thought out restaurant POS system can alleviate this problem through cost and inventory controls built right into the system.
    An important section of this book is Credit Cards and Merchant Processing. Most restauranteurs fail to recognize how critical this function is to their establishment and how much it can cost them. Bob Frazier is able to demonstrate not only how the restaurant POS system ties into the merchant's credit card processing, but how expensive it can be if you don't do your homework up front.
    Probably the most important topic for any business owner is how to pay for their restaurant POS system. Frazier covers each option and presents both the pros and cons of each.
    Moving into the “meat” of the book, is the 3-Step Restuarant POS Purchase Guide. This section is the entire premise of the book and seeks to explain and simplify the buying process for a restaurateur. By dividing the process into three sections, the reader is able to easily see how doing one's homework before purchasing is of utmost importance. From defining to comparing to negotiating, Frazier clairifies how to consider each function of your restaurant as well as defining benefit of a restaurant POS system. Additionally, his years in the industry shine here as he takes the reader step by step through the three areas showing what is important and what is not important with any POS system selection. Comparing apples to apples is highlighted. By finally addressing the negotiation piece, this eBook not only guides the reader into making the right decision, but helps him negotiate the lowest possible cost along with the highest potential benefits, assuring that the purchase is one that will quickly pay for itself and keep the owner happy with his selection for years to come. As is stated in the book, “ by following our 3-Step Restaurant Purachase Process Guide, you will save time, money and aggravation when choosing a restaurant POS system and POS provider for your restaurant. As long as you do your homework and pay attention to the requirements of your establishment, you will be able to enjoy the rewarding experience that a POS system can provide for many years....”

      Do I Really Need a POS System?

      Choosing a POS system is one of the most important decisions you, as a restaurant owner, will have to make and if you're like most restaurateurs, it's one of the last decisions you will make, especially if you are opening a new location. The primary concept of a restaurant POS system is to provide establishments with specific features and functions to operate their restaurant based on their type of restaurant and management style.
