POS Applications
| Touch-Enhanced Food Service | 
Both quick service and fine dining restaurants depend on POS systems to squeeze the
most efficiency from their operations. In these fast-paced environments, POS systems
must be able to endure rigorous use activated by any touch—from a fingernail to a wet or
gloved hand. Also, servers using Elo touch systems have an easy interface that links them
directly to kitchen chefs. So they’re able to increase service speed to better satisfy
customers. And since touch is intuitive, training times can be greatly reduced—an
important benefit where employee churn is an issue. |
| Easy Registration, Billing for Hotel Guests | 
Whether offering automated check-in or reviews of local points of interest, hotel POS
systems provide guests with easy registration and up-to-date information. Tie-ins to hotel
restaurant, room-service, and beverage POS systems also make it simple for guests to
charge everything to one account—and easy for management to track a guest’s total
purchases. |
| Streamlined Convenience Store Checkout | 
Faced with a complex mix of products from fuel to food, C-store managers are employing
specialized POS touch systems to help streamline operations, from quick customer
checkout to inventory and record tracking. Convenience store clerks also gain an intuitive
and ergonomic touch interface they can ]earn in minutes, which drastically reduces
new-employee training time while enhancing working conditions. |
| More Accurate Grocery Checkout | 
In grocery stores, clerks use POS touch systems to identify food products correctly at
checkout—helping them avoid costly mistakes. Take apples. for example. Not everyone
can tell a Fuji from a Pippin—yet they can vary greatly in price. But with one touch, a
perplexed clerk can view a picture of all the apples in question and charge the right price
for the right apple.
Grocers are also adopting touch-based POS systems for self-checkout. With shoppers operating their own registers, grocers can achieve faster checkout for the consumer and reduced labor costs for the store. |
| Reinventing the Pharmacy | 
POS touch systems make it possible for pharmacists to better serve customers with
in-depth medical information—and to increase sales and profitability on merchandise. At a
touch-driven kiosk, for example, customers can easily access information on over-the
counter medications, prescription drugs, nutrition, and wellness issues. They can also
receive coupons for products. And even order specialized medical equipment, such as
wheelchairs or hospital beds, just by swiping their credit card through a card reader.
Benefits to the pharmacy? A chance to make the best use of a pharmacists time, and to
reduce store inventories on costly goods while increasing sales. |
| Easy Access to Entertainment | 
Want to sell your movie tickets, popcorn, and a T-shirt honoring next month’s hockey
play-off—all from the same entertainment kiosk? Today’s POS touch systems allow for
the sale of tickets, food, and merchandise in traditional and nontraditional venues (movie
theaters, concert halls, museums, sports arenas, and shopping malls). POS systems also
give customers the ability to buy while they wait in line, which streamlines processes,
reduces labor costs, and increases concession sales and revenues. |
