Why your restaurant's POS should integrate with labor scheduling tools
The point-of-sale system at your restaurant is the nucleus of your business. When POS systems first started they were solely used to take orders, and take payments, but today your POS can integrate with various apps, offering so much more that can enable your business to run smoother and more efficiently.
Integrating with a labor tools app on your POS allows you to communicate with your staff on scheduling the way they want to hear from you most, via their mobile phone. It will help reduce a managers time creating, communicating and managing the work schedules of all employees. Thus creating more time for your manager to spend elsewhere in the business.
Today we look at the benefits of the integration with a labor tools app.
