Boost Staff Satisfaction: 6 Ways Your POS Can Help Keep Top Talent

Written by Kym Eaton | Nov 5, 2024 8:15:00 AM

The success of a venue can depend not only on the quality of food and drinks but also on the experience staff create. For this, a modern POS system that empowers, supports, and helps you provide value for your staff is essential. Outdated systems, inefficient workflows, and lack of support can leave employees feeling stressed and unappreciated, which can lead to high turnover.

PowerEPOS isn’t just a Point of Sale solution - it’s a platform designed to make work easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient for staff, creating a workplace they want to stay in and thrive. Here’s how PowerEPOS addresses key challenges and helps turn your venue into a staff-friendly environment.

1. Creating a Workspace Staff Can Take Pride In

Many hospitality employees feel frustrated when their POS system is outdated or difficult to use, especially in a high-pressure environment. When staff struggle with clunky interfaces and slow processes, it can make even simple tasks feel complicated and stressful. This can result in lower job satisfaction and a sense of frustration with their workplace.

PowerEPOS changes this by offering a simple, user-friendly interface designed with hospitality staff in mind. Even those who are less tech-savvy find PowerEPOS intuitive, meaning new hires can quickly learn and feel confident using it. This ease-of-use not only makes tasks easier to perform but instills a sense of pride in their workplace, where they’re equipped with the right tools to succeed. Staff feel supported, capable, and proud to work in a venue that values efficient and modern systems.

2. Increasing Service Efficiency with Advanced Table Management

In a bustling restaurant, managing tables effectively is essential to providing great service. Without clear table management, staff are often left scrambling to remember which tables are occupied, which need attention, and where customers are in the dining process. This can lead to missed opportunities, longer wait times, and even mistakes - ultimately impacting tips and the employee’s sense of accomplishment.

PowerEPOS’s advanced table management features give staff a clear view of the entire restaurant, with real-time status updates on each table. This visibility allows staff to provide attentive, efficient service that impresses customers and enhances their dining experience. For employees, this capability translates to higher job satisfaction, as they can easily manage their tables, deliver better service, and earn more tips, creating a workplace that feels rewarding and empowering.

3. Simplifying Payments & Reducing Stress with Flexible Split Billing

Handling payments, especially during busy shifts, can be one of the most stressful parts of the job. With traditional POS systems, processing split bills, separate tabs, or multiple payment methods can be cumbersome and time-consuming. This not only increases the workload and stress for staff, but can create bottlenecks that frustrate customers and could stop them from returning to your venue.

PowerEPOS makes payment handling a breeze with its flexible payment options, including advanced split billing. Staff can quickly and efficiently manage payments for groups, allowing them to complete transactions with minimal hassle. This makes for a smooth checkout process, reducing the stress on staff and enhancing the overall experience for customers. Plus, pay@table is now available for even more providers, moving the bill off the POS, and taking it to the customer on the EFTPOS device.

By simplifying payments, PowerEPOS allows staff to focus on service rather than technical issues, making their job more enjoyable and freeing them up to engage more positively with customers.

4. More Front-of-House Features

In many venues, front-of-house staff are expected to make quick adjustments and respond to customer requests on the spot. However, without a flexible POS system, they may have to rely on back-office access to make changes to the POS, which disrupts workflow and takes time away from customers. This inefficiency can make staff feel frustrated and stressed out during busy times.

PowerEPOS empowers staff by bringing essential features directly to your POS terminal. Staff can manage stock levels, update specials, and make changes without needing to leave the floor. This easy access helps them update things fast, keeps staff informed, and allows them to stay with customers, ensuring a seamless service flow. The tools they need at their fingertips help staff to feel more capable, confident, and engaged in their roles, making PowerEPOS a valued part of their workday.

5. Enhancing Counter Service with Bistro Mode for Smooth Operations

In a counter-service setup, managing separate orders from customers at the same table can be challenging, especially during busy times. Traditional POS systems may not batch orders effectively, causing delays and confusion in the kitchen, which impacts staff efficiency and customer satisfaction when orders are delivered at different times.

PowerEPOS addresses this with its Bistro Mode, allowing for smooth batching of orders from the same table in counter and bar-service venues. This simplifies coordination between front-of-house and kitchen staff, simplifying order processing and reducing the risk of errors. Staff can fulfill orders more easily and work with a clear, efficient process, leading to a less stressful environment and smoother service. For employees, this means less time troubleshooting and more time focused on providing a great customer experience.

6. Providing Peace of Mind with Australian-Based Local Support

When a POS issue arises, waiting on hold with an overseas support line can be frustrating and time-consuming for staff, disrupting service and lowering morale. Without prompt assistance, small technical issues can quickly become major roadblocks, leaving staff feeling unsupported and powerless to resolve problems on their own.

Triniteq offers local, Australian-based support for PowerEPOS, providing quick and effective assistance to staff when they need it most. This dependable support service ensures that any issues can be resolved quickly, keeping service running smoothly and reducing stress for employees. Knowing they have reliable, accessible support when needed gives staff peace of mind and helps them feel valued, reinforcing their loyalty to the venue and to PowerEPOS.
