Let's face it, as an industry we wouldn't be spending all that money on Point Of Sale (POS) equipment if we didn't think we were losing our profits to our employees. Just recently I read an article printed in a restaurant trade journal for "emerging technologies" that stated that nearly sixty-five percent of our losses were incurred by employee "mishandling." This amounts to something like two and a half percent of sales. The writer of the article alluded to the fact that in a recent survey it was discovered that POS equipement would virtually put an end to this...BS!

My POS experience beginning as a consultant with a POS pioneer in 1970 says that mistakes made by servers average One-half of one percent NOT two an a half percent. I am here to tell you that a truck driver can remove more product through your back door in two minutes than any five servers mistakes, in an entire shift. My experience says that sixty-five percent of your losses are incurred by delivery personnel.

This is not to say that if you can't slow down your internal thieve's with a good "Guest Check" analysis system, that POS equipement shouldn't be considered...But I would suggest you do a thorough guest check analysis before investing in POS. Futhermore we discovered that the server that made errors in favor of the customer also made errors in favor of the house. And that all errors were made by the same twenty-five percent of servers. This means that an inexpensive calculator and a few minutes a day of guest check analysis will save the average restaurantuer a lot of money. Not to mention a lot of training headaches.

As a matter of fact over sixty-five percent of the cost of a POS system is in the software and the training of your personnel. If you dont believe me, price a 100 pentium CPU with a couple of "Slave" terminals with monitors and a little installation labor. Get my drift?

Mr bryans system bailed me and my distributors out of the deep financial hole we were in. I have used the system for several years now and I wouldn't be in the resaturant business today without it...Coffee Shop

Ron S. says: It's amazing how much we know about making money and how quickly we can forget our mistakes. The truth of the matter is that when a thief wants your money or products he/she will get it. The trick is to plug the hole(s) fast enought to survive the losses. Mr bryans system plugs the holes and keeps them plugged...Sports Bar with fish and chips.
