BEST POS SYSTEMS?

Best POS I ever used was an earlier MICROS that let me personally, under my number, ring up over a million dollars worth of drinks in today’s dollars per year, year after year!

A lot of New, slow, way over complicated multi level deep windows systems with dozens and dozens of modifiers STINK as POS systems because they’re inefficient for bartenders. They’re not made to increase income, they’re made to decrease accounting and management work. Lazy managers and owners like them, but not owners and managers who don’t mind a few hours of work in exchange for making a lot more money. It may sound harsh that I’m putting this so bluntly, but if there’s one thing in my life that I’m absolutely certain of working in Manhattan bars where I could move as fast as I could move for several hours in a row, non stop mixing and serving drinks, it’s that in a busy bar every single solitary fraction of a second away from the POS is money in the bank!


These slower and more bloated, multi level drill down menu POSs COST and LOSE so much money it should literally be seen as a crime.


Somebody’s getting ripped off. …some accountant analyst saying “by not using our POS you’re leaving $50 on the table” when in fact you’re actually LOSING $500 in sales to GET that $50! And the accountant says “you could increase your win by 2.4% on $500 worth of sales” except that your bartender SHOULD have been with the customers selling $2,000 worth and not have been focused on a POS slowing everything down to $500 – owner just “made” $12 (2.4% of $500) but LOST $1,488 ($2,000-$12) worth of actual sales.
