Here are some suggestions:

Order Entry: Use the POS system to enter and edit orders and send them straight to the kitchen, either from the POS register (for quick-serve) or from servers’ handheld devices (for full-service).

Recipe Costing: Calculate ingredients, labour, and any other inputs to determine any menu item’s total cost and profitability.

Table Mapping: Manage guests, their orders, and their bills by a visual representation of their tables in your restaurant.

Integrated Payment Processing: Process electronic payments at a competitive rate, via in-house processing or by integrating with your existing merchant account. Flat-rate or interchange-plus pricing is generally preferable, as is EMV and NFC support.

Customer Management: Track repeat customers and engage with them with targeted promotions via text or email.

Raw Ingredient Tracking: Keep track of all your ingredients so you know what you have in stock and when to reorder.

Purchase Orders & Vendor Management: Manage your purchase orders and vendors all in one place.

Reporting: Generate reports to track bestsellers, server tips, and many other restaurant metrics.

Online Marketing Features: Can include social media marketing, email/text marketing, as well as review management on sites like Yelp or Tripadvisor. Employee Management: Let your employees clock in and out using the POS, view employee reports, set employee alerts, and perform other staff management tasks.

Payroll: Process payroll right from your POS. Upgrade and save time and money.

Offline Mode: Continue to process payments if your internet connection drops out, or queue your pending payments so they will process once your connection resumes.

Online Ordering System: Allow customers to order food online from your website, using a custom app, or with UberEats, Menulog, etc. Take online orders from a new POS system by simply getting quotes and choosing the best for you.

Delivery Management: Track takeaway orders, drivers, and delivery statuses easily.

Bookings & Waitlist Management: Allow customers to make online reservations or add themselves to your waitlist. Can be an in-house system or via an integrated app.

Tableside Payments: Have customers pay their bill electronically, right from their table.

Gift Cards: Sell and accept gift cards at your POS. Can include physical and/or electronic gift card options.

24/7 Support: Make sure a live person is always reachable to solve POS and payment-related issues, either over the phone or live chat.

Self-Ordering Kiosk: Let customers place and pay for their orders using a self-service station.

Integration With Other Business Software: Make sure your POS works with the software you already use, or software you may need to fill in any gaps that your POS doesn’t provide.

Kitchen Display System: If you want to upgrade from your kitchen printer, you can use a more efficient electronic display system.

Digital Menu Board: Let customers order from an electronic menu board, which is easy to edit and adjust if you have rotating offerings. Ideal for breweries, coffee shops, and quick-service.

Multi-Location Management: Track inventory, staff, profits, and other data across multiple restaurant locations.
