Does Your POS Have a Tipping Screen? It Could Bring Higher Wages for Your Counter Service Restaurant

Back in the day when cash was king, many customers made it a practice to drop their extra change in the tip jar after purchasing food at a counter service restaurant. It was their way of recognizing that staff, whose wages were modest, deserved some compensation for their hard work. But what happens now that more and more customers are paying with their credit or debit cards or even via their mobile phones?


The Benefits of Your Point-of-Sale Solution

If you own a counter service restaurant, you probably have a point-of-sale (POS) system that enables you to transact all sorts of payments, whether at the counter or via a mobile card reader right at a customer’s table. In addition to giving customers a way to use their credit and debit cards to purchase food, your POS is an invaluable assistant in the running of your business. It provides tools for monitoring inventory, administering payroll, and generating different types of reports.


All of these capabilities help you manage your restaurant more smoothly and efficiently, but there is one more that you may not have considered. If your POS isn’t already equipped with one, you can upgrade to a solution with a screen that enables customers to tip your counter staff at the time of payment.


Wage Increases

No one needs to tell you that the restaurant industry is cutthroat. Many eateries are surviving on only the thinnest of profit margins, making it exceedingly difficult to give your loyal staff the financial incentives you wish you could. Having a tipping screen on your POS gives you a way to let customers express their appreciation to staff in a concrete way that truly can make a difference. With fewer people carrying cash these days, having a seamless way to tip electronically is the only method that will give many customers a chance to provide a gratuity.



To Tip or Not to Tip

While many patrons will want to provide a little extra, not all will. Others may choose to do so tomorrow but not today. For this reason, you’re smart if you make sure your POS screen also prominently displays a “no tip” alternative. After all, no one wants to feel forced to spend more.


Now that cash is going the way of the DVD, don’t leave your customers –or your staff in the lurch. Talk to your merchant account provider today.

Equip yourself with a restaurant payment system that will help you run the place while simultaneously allowing patrons to tip your hard-working staff.

Best Transition to CCStorage!

Transitioning from a previous software company to CCStorage was a breeze with the ease of the software, support of the staff. My daily use of the software is both informative and supportive for our business. I do not have to hunt and search for the answers I need, my reports are readily available and the software is very customer friendly for our clients. That alone is a huge win to be able to engage clients in their account management.

Pros

Ease of use and flow of features throughout the software. If you have a question, the support section has the video to help you through the process.

Cons

I least like not having the ability to print reports into a PDF document, such as the payment detail list of what the clients have paid on particular dates. Having to export to Excel, format then print can be cumbersome when you are limited on time. At least having the option, of a PDF would be great!

Reasons for switching CCStorage

Yardi did not meet our needs with customer support, the software had multiple internal issues that when brought to their attention would always have to be taken to a higher team level and would never be resolved or I would never have any explanation of the out come. sometimes just hear it will be taken care of in the next update. ANY changes made to client information would not stay with the information ... example . change a phone number, print out a contact report, the old phone number will be there but the screen shows the new one. The client portal was extremely cumbersome and clients could not get into it easily.

Excellent choice

Excellence!! They worked with us to make our business needs met.

Pros

I like the passion and the "can do" attitude of the people at CCStorage. They are willing to listen to what my business needed and helped it all come together.

Cons

I was so new to the storage business, that I really didn't know what I needed. So I hesitated. There have been no cons

Reasons for choosing CCStorage

I need to keep things simple and functional. The couple of online overviews with Matt were very helpful and he spoke my language, remember, I'm new.
