Quick service and fast casual restaurant FAQs

A POS for a quick service or fast casual restaurant should be built for the unique needs of demanding environments with large footprints and complex kitchen workflows. Integration is key to the systems used by QSRs, including third-party delivery and order apps. A range of self-ordering options — including kiosk, app and digital ordering along with drive-thru and countertop— requires a centralized view and centralized control.

A centralized view means every order from every channel moves into a single queue, where orders are prioritized and tracked from prep to completion. This keeps customers up to date on order progress. Centralized control requires that menu updates and inventory tracking are completed in a central command center and sync across all KDS and ordering channels.

Streamlining order taking and processing with advanced technologies can reduce the time vehicles spend idling in line, which helps decrease fuel consumption and emissions. Self-service options also decrease errors that can generate waste, reducing overall carbon emissions.

Designed for the remote management and assessment of restaurant data, Genius Back Office offers a reporting suite that displays hundreds of data points to help you improve the efficiency of a single site or an entire franchise. These reports can help diagnose the root causes of large variances in actual and ideal food usage, excessive waste, high food-cost percentages, lapses between actual and target yields and more.

This comprehensive reporting suite is powered by the data entered by on-site staff who can count inventory, adjust waste and receive deliveries through their tablet or mobile phone, increasing collection speed and the accuracy of inventory data.

Cut wait times by offering multiple ways to order with self-service technology like kiosks and apps, minimizing errors and providing customization options. By integrating your order channels with a food prep system, your kitchen staff see new orders and order status in real time. Plus, predictive ordering anticipates sales volume to help your kitchen team prepare the right quantities for predicted demand.

You’ll also be able to build efficiency at every stage. From the moment a car enters your drive thru, you can use loop technology to alert staff, while real-time, animated visualization helps the crew keep an eye on every vehicle. Live key performance indicators include guest counts, speed of service and more.
