There’s a new item on the expanding QuickBooks Online ecosystem menu: QuickBooks Point of Sale for Restaurants, powered by Revel Systems.
The new restaurant-focused iPad solution is similar to the retail-focused product announced last year by Intuit Inc. It allows restaurateurs to automatically sync sales, payments, inventory, customer relationship management and payroll data to QuickBooks Online.
Restaurant owners and managers can get real-time insight into ingredient inventory, a new feature custom-built for the restaurant-tailored solution. They can do this with maximum flexibility and maintain customer relationships anytime, anywhere. Additional features include:
- Restaurant-tailored Features: Builds custom menus and tracks inventory ingredient levels to help managers restock at the right times.
- Sales Management: Rings sales, takes payments and manages customers with a fully featured iPad POS.
- Always-On Mode: Continues to take high-volume payments and retains data during busy times of the day, even when not connected to the Internet.
- Anytime, Anywhere Access: Views sales, inventory and staffing data at home, the office or on the road.
- Automatic Updates: Obtains the newest software updates effortlessly via the cloud.
- Customized System: Receives a custom-built system, set up by a restaurant solutions consultant, that’s ready to handle unique business needs.
- Seamless Integration With QuickBooks Online: Ensures bookkeeping is right the first time – no double entries or manual data entry mistakes.
“Restaurant and foodservice owners are increasingly looking to apply technology to modernize and differentiate their establishments,” said Eric Dunn, Intuit’s senior vice president for payments and commerce solutions. “This helps them provide faster and more efficient service, streamline operations and ultimately grow their businesses. Together we’re giving food service businesses confidence that they can deliver a great diner experience, while also having an up-to-date, accurate picture of their books and cash flow, without manual data entry.”
The new point of sale offering is unique in its ability to sync with QuickBooks.
“No other POS solution has this level of integration with QuickBooks Payments and QuickBooks Online,” said Lisa Falzone, co-founder and CEO of Revel Systems. “Seeing the value our integrated retail solution brings customers has motivated both Revel and Intuit to bring our integrated solution to restaurants, to serve the small business establishments that have been serving us our favorite meals, snacks and drinks for years.”
QuickBooks Point of Sale for Restaurants, powered by Revel Systems is currently available for free consultations and demos and will be jointly demoed by Intuit and Revel Systems at the National Restaurant Association Show in booth #5638 (Hall B1) at McCormick Place in Chicago, May 16-19.
