Liquor Control System

Liquor control is essential for any business that sells alcoholic. By adding this effective tool, business owners can maintain better control over their liquor inventory, without having to worry about the loss of income your business is making. Two popular options are the Spy-Lite and the Octopus Lite. Spy-Lite uses fifteen spouts in total. These spouts are heat sealed to the bottle to prevent tampering with. When poured, it sends directly to the POS. This is where it displays what liquor, the amount, and the cost. However, since the Spy-Lite only has fifteen tops, tracking your inventory has its limits. One would have to categorize bottles by their brand, or if they are “well” or “top shelf”. This is where the Octopus Lite steps in. With 256 RFID spouts, you can track each and every individual bottle. This allows business owners to monitor specific brands, and see how much was poured and sold throughout the day. In comparing the two systems, it really depends what your needs are. The Spy Lite is more cost effective, and even only with fifteen tops, it can do the job. Nonetheless, the Octopus Lite is better suited for keeping track of larger inventories. Both systems provide excellent liquor control and allow you to track the usage and inventory of your bar, saving you time and money. In conclusion, liquor control is an essential tool for any business that sells alcohol. By choosing the right liquor control system, businesses can reduce costs, and increase efficiency. That’s why OSS Data offers these tools to business owners like you. If you are looking for more information on liquor control systems, visit Barspecs, or give us a call at 1-800-954-3281. M.

Kitchen Display Systems and How They Benefit Your Business

Restaurants can be hectic. During meal rushes, paper tickets can get damaged, go missing, or may not even be legible. Kitchen display systems take unnecessary stress out of meal times and allows staff to prioritize the consumers, and thus in turn, sales. When an order ticket is submitted through your point-of-sales system or server’s tablets, they are immediately displayed for your kitchen crew to begin preparations. Any changes or additions made on the digital ticket through the POS systems will be updated in real time on the kitchen display system for easy visibility. Not only will this allow for better inventory management, but also reduced food waste, and server efficiency. Without the need for servers to deliver tickets and their changes to the back kitchen manually, they are able to prioritize more time for customers on the floor. To reiterate, kitchen display times can save your business both time and money that is otherwise wasted through paper ticket systems. OSS Data offers kitchen display systems that integrate with a wide assortment of POS softwares! Call us today at 1-800-954-3281 or send us an e-mail at info@ossdata.com for a demo. A. Lynch 2023

Why Your Restaurant Needs Online Ordering

During the pandemic dining in was no longer an option, and many restaurants had to shutdown. To help restaurants stay in business, they focused more on curbside pickup and delivery, whichhas now become the new norm in the restaurant industry. According to Hospitality Technology, online ordering has skyrocketed roughly taking up 40% of total restaurant sales, which is predicted to grow even more in the upcoming years. Despite the struggles that many businesses had to go through, online ordering has helped restaurants even more than ever. Customers no longer need to leave the comfort of their homes, but can now order food through third party apps like UberEats and DoorDash, but with these platforms comes a fee. With how popular online ordering has become, it’s hard to figure out where to start. You couldalways start with UberEats as your delivery service, you just need to pay a 15% fee for delivery orders, or 30% if you go for the Premium plan. The same roughly goes for other food delivery services as well. Putting in online orders, one after another is stressful and time consuming, in addition to the orders you have for your dine-in guests. However with a POS integrated with an online ordering service like Ordering360, those days are long gone! Any orders placed online at your store will send immediately to the kitchen. This allows you to tend to your dine-in guests without having to sacrifice the quality of service.
