For managing restaurants, bars, or terraces, whether independent or associated with accommodation units, Pynbooking includes a dedicated module: POS Restaurant. Unlike other IT systems, Pynbooking is an all-in-one digital tool that covers all the requirements of companies in the HoReCa sector. Through its specific features, the POS Restaurant module allows the digitization of any type of establishment: restaurant, bar, club, pizzeria, pastry shop, cafe, or teahouse, etc.
Pynbooking's POS Restaurant covers all operational aspects:
- Communication with customers
- Stock management
- Digital Menu and online orders
- Communication between waiter and bartender/chef
- Sales/invoicing
Moreover, Pynbooking, and consequently POS Restaurant, does not require downloading and installation. It operates on any device and doesn't require training since it's straightforward to use. Employees log in with a username and password, as simple as on a social media platform. Additionally, users have access to 24/7 free support services.
How POS Restaurant Works
To give a clearer picture of how POS Restaurant operates, let's follow a specific case.
Mr. Ionescu is in charge of restaurant supplies. He goes to the market or the wholesale depot and buys the necessary raw materials. Back at the restaurant, he creates entry notes, inputting all purchased products, relevant quantities, and prices into the Pynbooking software. The VAT is automatically calculated. After creating the documents for the received goods (commonly known as NIR), Mr. Ionescu defines product categories. These categories reflect the types of products available on the restaurant menu. For instance, if our menu includes soups, starters, main courses, and desserts, they will appear in the Pynbooking software under the same names.
The next operation involves creating recipes. The recipes represent the products (beef tripe soup, chicken soup, mushroom cream soup, carbonara pasta, etc.) as they appear on the menu and include the ingredients and quantities needed for each product.
Recipes are essential because, when a product is sold, the consumed ingredients are automatically deducted from the inventory. So, if we sell five soups and for each soup, the recipe indicates we use 100 grams of meat and 20 grams of carrots, upon registering the sale, the inventory will decrease by 500 grams of meat and 100 grams of carrots. Similarly, quantities from consumption slips or expired food are deducted.
Pynbooking allows for multiple inventories (for a terrace and restaurant or establishments with several restaurants) and includes transfer options between inventories. This allows centralized procurement but with consumption tracking and deduction from inventory for each separate unit.
Simplifying Order Taking
With Pynbooking, the waiter uses a phone or tablet connected to the software. When taking orders, they mark the requested products, and the chef and bartender are notified through audible and visual signals on their devices. The waiter remains in the dining room to attend to other customers, eliminating the need to go to the kitchen or send the order through a section printer. Customers are served faster, sales increase (ever noticed how many customers give up ordering just because there's no employee in sight?), saving time and money (no more need for paper, cables, or section printers).
Yes, modern customers seek comfort and speed, and it's your job to adapt.
If the restaurant also has a runner – the preferred and recommended version – they are the ones notified to pick up the orders and deliver them to the tables. If not, the waiter receives the alert on their phone, just like the chef or bartender. From the phone, they can print the fiscal receipt when the bill is requested. The Live Monitor/Kitchen Display module can be accessed from any device, be it Android, iOS, or Windows, eliminating the need for dedicated equipment.
Digital Menu and Delivery
The digital menu is a vital feature because it displays products in a visually appealing manner, with details that stimulate appetite and increase sales. It comes with a configurator that updates products and prices in real-time. It allows easy price adjustments based on costs and the creation of promotional offers (like happy hours, seasonal products, etc.)
With Pynbooking, any restaurant can take delivery orders through the integration of an "Order Food" button on their website. The system prompts registration with a mobile number, location, and a secure password, and menu navigation is simple and intuitive. It also integrates with online payment systems for advance order payments.
Modernization and Digitization
Alongside operational aspects, Pynbooking's POS Restaurant provides managers with valuable insights: real-time stock, orders over various time intervals, execution time, statistics on ordered products, and workload of employees, etc. All this information is crucial for making the right decisions, from supplementing resources during peak times to removing unprofitable or unsold items from the menu. Additionally, POS Restaurant can export data to accounting software, like SAGA, for example.
Pynbooking is a modern tool that makes taking orders on notepads a thing of the past. Misunderstandings, forgotten or lost notes, and waiters running between the dining room and kitchen are eliminated. It's time to digitize and let technology work for you.
