How does a restaurant Point of Sale system work?

One of the most important aspects of running a restaurant is the ability to take and process orders quickly. A POS system, or point-of-sale system, makes this process easier by incorporating automation features that significantly reduce the time between ordering foods and receiving it. It also tracks what each guest orders so that when the waiter returns, they can bring exactly what was requested without making mistakes or having to ask again. The order is simply entered into an iPad or computer that is linked to the POS system by the waiter. The system will then calculate invoices, including taxes and tips, automatically and without error.
