Table Service or Quick Service

The core Aloha POS system can be ordered as either Table Service (Restaurants or Cafe's) or Quick Service (Fast Food, Bars etc). The difference between to two is primarily the POS user interface. Apart from this, the majority of POS functionality and back office reporting remain the same.

"Aloha POS - Table Service"

"Aloha POS - Table Service" offers a floor and table plan as the initial point of entry for your POS operator. You can either design the complete layout of the restaurant or cafe as one floor plan or break it up into sections EG. Bar area, Inside section and Outside section, just to name a few of the different scenarios that can be considered.

Different colours for occupied and unoccupied tables are used, as well as to differentiate tables that have been opened from one operator to another. It is these advanced table management features that give you the controls which allow you to run a successful business.
