Did you know that
the most common mistake restaurant owners make
is FEARING COMPUTERS?
This phobia results
in them paying a huge penalty. Look at the
people who support and install computers... do
you really think they know more about running a
restaurant than you? Of course not. They
just know a bunch of fancy vocabulary and catch
phrases. YOU know more about the
restaurant business.
So why in the
world would you ask your local geek to install a
computer system in your restaurant when he/she
knows nothing about running a restaurant? It's
crazy! But day after day I see restaurant
owners paying for "a dream system" that two
years later turns out to be a nightmare.
There is only one
course of action to liberate yourself:
EDUCATION.
Look, a POS
system is just an overgrown cash register - it
isn't rocket science. At Positive Feedback
Software, we're not splitting the atom and
inventing cold fusion. FreePOS is just a
program that adds numbers, displays information
and prints it out. You can learn this stuff I
am sure!
So how do you
learn about POS? Here are some first steps:
- Call (540)
243-0300 - We will help you with advice
- Get 3 quotes
on a POS system... and see what the vendors
tell you. Don't buy a system, just listen to
what they say. You'll be able to sort out
the BS-ers from the honest people.
- Next, watch
the videos on this website. Even if you're
not going to buy FreePOS, watch the videos and
see how it works. If you don't understand
everything the first time, don't worry. Just
soak up some information.
- Learn to use
Windows XP - go to community college for a
weekend and really understand what it does.
This is foundational to any system you will
purchase. (Apple computers don't have very
good POS systems for restaurants)
If I told you
that you could make an extra $20,000 in sales
for cooking 12 hours straight, you'd be on the
line in double time. Orders would be flying
out of that kitchen.
SO I AM
TELLING YOU... you can save $10,000 for
investing a day or two in training yourself.
You will be smarter. You will make better
decisions. And you will lose a phobia that holds
many restaurant owners back. Don't be
intimidated by a computer system: you already
know the hard part which is how to run a
restaurant. |
