Not All POS Systems are Created Equal

January 27, 2020 by Jeremy

Whether you’re in the retail, restaurant or other sales-based business, having the right Point of Sale System is vital. The question is how to do you decide which POS system is right for your business. The truth is not all POS systems are created equal, so it’s important to consider factors like the type and size of your business, the industry and customer preference when choosing a POS system. Below are three popular POS systems designed for specific industries.

Booker POS

An online booking software for small businesses, the Booker POS was designed specifically for the salon and spa industry. It’s a cloud-based, all-in-one solution which handles bookings, marketing, customer management and payments. Booker is more than a point of sales system. Here some of the features Booker POS systems offer:

  • Mobile and tablet appointment booking
  • Mobile payment processing
  • Credit card processing
  • Appointment reminder emails
  • Employee schedule and payroll
  • Customized gift certificates
  • Inventory management
  • Direct website booking
  • Customer feedback surveys

This system is rated one of the top 10 online booking software products and has a 98% user satisfaction rate. If you operate an appointment-based small business, the Booker POS system is worth considering.

Clover Flex

The Clover Flex POS is a portable, handheld device similar in size to an iPhone. It’s easy to use interface requires minimal training, and it works with cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity. Your data is even cloud accessible so you can conduct business from any device connected to the internet. Other features of the Clover Flex include these:

  • Accepts Magstripe, chip cards and NFC payments
  • Capture customer signatures
  • Scan barcodes
  • Print receipts
  • Automatic fund transfers by next business day
  • Inventory management
  • Sales tracking
  • Custom-branded gift cards
  • Customer management

With Clover Flex, you can check out customers as they wait in line, table-side at restaurants or at a booth at trade or craft show. For portability and convenience, the Clover Flex deserves a look.

Clover Station

This product is an all-in-one checkout station complete with cash drawer, card scanner, receipt printer and display. Clover Station is suitable for practically any retail environment, and the new version is a significant upgrade from what customers have been used to in the past. Here’s what you can expect from the Clover Station 2.0:

  • Accepts EMV chip, mag stripe and contactless payments
  • Signature capture
  • Large screen display
  • Fingerprint scanning
  • Inventory management
  • Timesheet management
  • Faster payment processing

Primarily for retailers, restaurants and other store-front owners, the Clover Station 2.0 is a great choice for business who prefer to customize their POS system. Clover offers over 300 apps to allow business owners to create a POS system that uniquely fits their needs.

POS systems come in many shapes and sizes, and they offer a host of options when it comes to hardware and software capabilities. Businesses can choose to go completely mobile with a system like Booker, to supplement checkout stations with a mobile option like Clover Flex or to upgrade to a cloud-based system like the Clover Station 2.0. You can find more information about different types of POS systems here.

My name is Jeremy and I used to be a pretty high-up chef in New York City. I worked at a few high scale restaurants and loved it for many years. But then it began to feel like something was missing. After a short trip to Thailand, I knew what I had to do.

I came back to NYC, gave my work notice, packed up and headed out to the road. Since 2015, I've been backpacking around the world (and eating everything!!!). Thankfully with all the walking I do traveling, I've only gained a few pounds hahaha. Read More…
