POS (Point of Sale)
The hardware and software a restaurant uses to take orders, accept payments and issue receipts. Modern restaurant POS systems also handle table layout, tipping, split bills, kitchen routing and basic reporting.
POS (Point of Sale) in day-to-day operations
Operators meet pos (point of sale) at three moments: when a system is first configured, when a second outlet opens, and when margin is reviewed. At each point the practical question is not the definition but who owns it, where the data lives, and how quickly a discrepancy surfaces.
If pos (point of sale) lives only in a spreadsheet or in a manager's head, it drifts. When it sits in the operating system alongside tickets, recipes, payments and delivery commission, a discrepancy shows up the next morning instead of at month end — and that gap is where the money is.
