Modern restaurant point of sale (POS) systems are designed to make life easier, streamlining everything from credit card transactions to employee scheduling. But POS solutions differ when it comes to business-building features—and how robust they are. With an innovative solution like Exatouch^® Point of Sale, there’s a vast and continuously expanding roster of built-in features. Take the versatile and comprehensive Item Details Module. This feature provides a myriad of ways to input information for all your menu items, including categories, pricing, taxes, and more. By completing the fields within Item Details, you can extract data and insights that save time, boost profits, and grow your restaurant.

Menu Item Descriptions Play a Crucial Role

As the POS experts, we’re often asked about the best way to alert servers to potential allergens in menu items such as nuts or wheat. It’s a constant challenge to keep frontline staff up to date with this kind of critical information, especially when dishes and ingredients change so frequently. The good news is Item Details allows you to input extended item descriptions that waitstaff can see with just a few taps of the POS screen. These customizable description fields are the ideal place to list ingredients and highlight common allergens. Plus, as ingredients evolve, it’s easy to update these fields in real-time. You can also include information about how hot your spicy entrée special is or details on the origin of a particular dish. If your restaurant’s popular Bolognese sauce is a treasured family recipe, include that in the description to give your servers a fun conversation starter when they greet guests!
