Restaurant POS back office

We all know how important your point of sale system (POS) is to the inner workings of your restaurant. They send orders to the kitchen, track menu items sold, create sales reports, facilitate clock-ins and clock-outs, and hold all of that delicious guest data (we can’t get our hands on enough of that stuff!). And that’s really just the tip of the ice-cream cone.

But when it comes to integrations with other vendors, sometimes you need a little sumthin’ extra to make your POS hum with lots of happy data moving in-and-out of other back office systems. One of those essential back office systems is your restaurant scheduling software.

So which POS features and upgrades should you care about when choosing a restaurant scheduling software?
