Restaurant
owners who are looking for POS system may not know that there is better option
than a traditional system. They may go for embedded POS software which
has a lot of great benefits which are worth a look. Embedded POS has been
designed well for running your POS operations. Traditional POS runs on
multifunctional device like tablet or PC. Embedded POS is installed on the
device which runs the same and you won’t need any IT team to set up. Simply
plug in and it will work. It also has a lot of other benefits –
High Level Data
Security
A
large number of restaurants have high levels of data breaches that jeopardize
payment card information of customers and other vital information. Well,
independent and small restaurants shouldn’t overlook the importance of
security. Hackers are used to target all types of business and what happens can
be devastating. Embedded POS is able to
provide better security to your sensitive data than traditional POS as it is
closed system and files cannot be uploaded or downloaded. It is impossible for
hackers to send Trojan or viruses to get access.
No Antimalware or
Antivirus Software Needed
As
the system is resistant against illicit uploads and downloads, there is no need
to buy or renew costly online security programs. You will also not need to
spend money and time on IT support to upgrade, install and maintain those
programs and to fix an infected device.
Advanced
Application Controls to Boost Productivity
Another
main reason employees cannot infect embedded POS with malware is that they will
not surf the web on it. The functions of device are limited to only work-based
tasks. A tablet or computer for general purpose which uses traditional POS can
also be vulnerable to distractions like social games, emails, and videos. Avoid
those distractions so your employees can focus on the work and improve
productivity. Without access to their own accounts on the web, they cannot
click any link accidently or open attachments which have malware.
No Expensive System
Upgrades
Traditional
tablet or POS with POS software also has its own OS like Windows or Mac which
will need regular updates and it can add further work and expenses for IT
staff. Latest version of your OS may not support your POS software and you need
to purchase another program. This way, embedded POS programs run on solid state
devices which don’t need OS. The software and hardware is single unit which is
more reliable and faster.
