Essential Features of a Good Restaurant Management Software
A restaurant management system is designed with capabilities
and features to help you run and manage your restaurant and bar very well. A
POS system or POS software is a very useful part of your bar or restaurant
management system and includes many features and functions that make the
business more efficient and ultimately more profitable.
For Tracking Sales & Taxes
All restaurants handle credit card and cash transactions for
high amounts. So your restaurant management
software will make your life easier as an owner or restaurant manager by
tracking all the business sales data down to the last cent.
With this sales data, you can keep tabs on all the items you
sell, empowering you to make better decisions for your business. For example,
it allows you to tailor your menu according to the best or worst selling items,
know your busiest selling times, and determine who your best servers are. Most
importantly, you get the sales data you need to determine your profitability.
Also, you need to keep reliable records for taxes,
especially your local or state business and liquor tax laws. For example, in
Texas, in addition to sales tax, there is also a mixed beverage sales tax that
must be reported accordingly. So you should consult with your accountant, know
your local tax tables, and make sure your system has the reporting features you
need.
Most POS systems have
robust sales and tax reporting data. Any good provider can explain the sales
reporting features built into the system and describe your available options
for accounting integrations like Quickbooks.
User-friendliness
User friendliness is essential to running a restaurant well,
and this is something you should not overlook. If a software or app is easy to
use, you don't need to spend ages learning about it. Plus, you don't have to
spend time and money training your employees on how to use the new tool.
Inventory Control
Inventory control is a must-have feature in any restaurant
business software. Most bar or restaurant POS
software has options to deduct items from your inventory when you sell a
product after being programmed to do so, of course.
For example, if you sell a steak dinner, your POS should be
configured to deduct the steak from inventory. If you want to get granular, you
can proportionally reduce the sides from a steak dinner, such as subtracting
5oz of mashed potatoes from a serving.
It's important to know the amount of food you have on hand
and set a balance so you know when to order more product from your vendor.
Inventory is necessary because you want to fully understand your profit margin,
and that starts with tracking your food usage and spending.
It's important to note that not all systems are going to
have inventory controls and may require third-party integrations. Adding
third-party integrations may add to your costs.
Online Management
If you operate multiple restaurant branches, you need an RMS
that allows you to manage your data efficiently. What does it mean to "manage
your data efficiently"?
This means you track data from multiple branches in one
dashboard. What comes next, you need to be able to quickly consolidate this
data. That way, you will know how much your restaurant is making and which
branches are bringing in the most money.
Finally, your RMS will allow you to manage restaurant data
even while on the go. So, look for a system that allows you to sync data in the
cloud and access it online.
