Frequently asked questions

What does POS mean? And what is a bakery POS?

Bakery POS refers to a point of sale system, cash register or till designed to help bakers make sales and manage business. POS is sometimes referred to as EPOS which stands for electronic point of sale.

These days, cash registers do far more than make a record and storage spot for cash and card payments. Though all these industry terms for tills can seem a little confusing, they demonstrate the way tills have expanded to incorporate more and more business functions to the point where they are rightly called "systems".

Point-of-sale systems are now centralised platforms that process sales, help restaurants manage inventory, generate reports to help make better business decisions, store all business data, complete accountancy, run promotions and marketing, and much more.

Furthermore, top bakery management software will help businesses process sales from multiple sources easily and reliably. These might include integrating with a website or online ordering system, numerous delivery management platforms and also includes switching between eat-in, takeaway and delivery sales options.

How does a POS system work?

Most point-of-sale cash registers are cloud-based, which means your business data is not stored on the device you use to trade. Instead, all data is stored remotely on company servers. This comes with added security and the advantage that should one of your devices suffer damage, there is no risk of data loss.

When you trade, your device operates online or offline but connects to your cloud whenever possible to upload sales data in real-time and download ingredient cost changes, stock level information, and other menu management changes.

Regardless of the hardware a bakery uses, from the moment of purchase, a new POS system will start to bring the whole operation into that system. This helps the system generate custom reports that bigger competitors in the restaurant industry use, levelling the playing field for small business owners everywhere.

How much does a POS system cost?

The best POS system doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, and the best system will be different for businesses with different needs. It's important to make your needs very clear during the sales process as this can help point-of-sale providers ensure they include everything you need and provide you with an accurate quote.

Epos Now offer monthly or yearly subscription payment options, with key features always included on all packages, including a payroll system, and product, inventory, and customer management functions, in addition to the sales software.

However, bakers that wish to expand their system can choose to pay for third-party integrations such as accountancy integrations, website linking, delivery options, online ordering options etc. These pages all have individual pricing that Epos Now sales representatives discuss during the setup process.

Finally, there's the question of up-front expenses. Up-front expenses can be reduced if businesses are struggling to find the capital to get started, and owners can choose to offset that cost by having slightly higher monthly payments. Epos Now also offer different deals based on which solution customers go for.

What's the best way to manage bakery inventory?

Many bakeries receive daily orders and therefore need to update inventory on a daily basis. Therefore, adjusting inventory processes to make it easier to keep track of the ingredients you need for your recipes is essential.

Epos Now's bakery software comes with several key features that make it the best way to stay on top of stock levels with minimal effort. The master products feature is the most important for a baker working on inventory control.

Master products allow managers to keep track of basic ingredients and automatically update quantities as they are used in the production of other products. For instance, if you use 200g of flour, 100 ml of milk, and 3 eggs in the production of a baked good, you can remove each of those from your remaining stock when you bake. Alternatively, you could remove them when you sell the product.

With weighed, itemised and liquid measures and update options such as wastage, keeping track of complex inventory has never been easier.
