Pos Software
About Client and
Client Requirements

The Client of this Project is an inhabitant of California, U.S. Our Client owns and operates various Businesses and for a long time had been thinking about establishing a Software-based Business Venture. But being new to this domain, Our Client didn’t have any Idea or Vision for building a Software. The only ambition was to build a large-scale B2B Software that will help other Businesses and also form a Profitable Business Venture for Our Client.

So Our Client started with Market Research and after several sessions of brainstorming landed on the idea of building a POS System for Restaurants. Our Client envisioned a Software that can be adopted by all Food-based Businesses including Fine dining restaurants, Food Trucks, Ice cream parlors, etc. Also, Our Client didn’t want to build an Usual and Simple Restaurant POS Software. Our Client wanted a Full-Service and Multi-featured POS Software Solution which can be helpful in various Restaurant Operations rather than just Billing and Payments.

Now, Our Client came across ChromeInfotech through one of its blogs on software development. Liking what he read, Our Client decided to go through ChromeInfotech’s Website and some of Our other blogs. Our Client was impressed by Our work profile. And since We already had past experiences of working with successful POS Project, Our Client found Us to be a Reliable and Credible Technology Partner for the Project.

Staff Management Functionality

We also integrated this POS Software with features to get insights into employee performance in terms of sales.

Managers have the facility to check the start and end time of an employee’s shift. It also allows easy scheduling of tasks to employees.

9. Inventory Management Panel

Ingredients are the base of every Food-based Business Venture. And to increase profits, Restaurants should purchase the optimal quantity of ingredients so that they neither run out of items nor lead to any wastage.

So Our Client wanted Us to integrate a customized functionality to help restaurants keep track of their Inventory. Minding Our Client’s requirement, We developed a feature which based on the Restaurant’s sales would automatically calculate the quantity of each product left.

We also designed the system to send notifications when a product is running low on stock. Moreover, this feature enables Managers to set a reordering benchmark for a particular item allowing the system to automatically reorder the item when that benchmark is reached.

10. In-built Accounting Functionality

This feature eliminates the necessity of manually calculating Finance related aspects. We incorporated various accounting features using which restaurant Owners or Managers can efficiently monitor financial factors like:

  • Budgeting
  • Cash flow analysis
  • Monthly transactions
  • Income and Expense Analysis
  • Supplier Outstanding
  • Funding Sources
  • Asset Statement
  • Customer Outstanding

And many more

11. Multiple Integrated Payment Methods

To increase Customer experience, We integrated multiple payment methods into the Software such as :

  • Cash
  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Digital Wallets
  • Apple Pay

And many more

So Customers have the freedom to choose their preferred payment methods out of multiple options available.

12. Easy Third-party Integrations

To increase An Owner’s/Manager’s Convenience, We build a Software that can be easily integrated with any third-party Software.

Be it payment gateways, accounting software, Customer management/loyalty software or any other requirement; We have designed the Software such that it can fulfill all requirements by smoothly integrating with various 3rd party Software.

Challenges We Encountered and
Resolved during the Project
Challenge 1: Figuring Out Client/Project Requirements

As mentioned above, Our Client approached ChromeInfotech with just one idea in mind- To build a comprehensive and Profitable POS System for Restaurants. Our client was not sure about any specifications or features that needed to be implemented in the Project.

Our Solution:

To overcome this, Our Business Analyst team conducted extensive Market Research and consistently coordinated with Our Client to Figure Out the requirements. Several Use Cases and Competitor Software were also studied for the same. After numerous sessions, Our Client and we finally came to a conclusion. Moreover, We carried out a Discovery phase to get a more detailed understanding of the Project.

Challenge 2: Ensuring Security of Restaurant data

Now, this software was designed to hold a large amount of Business Sensitive data. So it was essential that We develop a system that cannot be penetrated or infiltrated by any unauthorized person.

Our Solution:

Our first action was to implement options for restricting employee authorization and access. So that a restaurant Owner can use these options to configure What or How much data a Manager/Cashier or any other employee will have access to. We implemented various layers of accessibility so that it is easier for the Owner to configure authorization settings.

Along with this, We also implemented various Security measures such as Encryption Algorithms( MD5, Salt), TLS/SSL, File Transfer Protocol.

Challenge 3: Building a Highly Scalable Software

Now Our Client required a POS Software system that can be carried forward as a profitable Business Venture for the long run. So it was crucial that We build a highly Scalable Product which can handle an increased workload- Be it rise in the number of orders per day or an increase in the number of restaurants using the Software.

Our Solution:

Since this was an essential necessity of Our Client, So from the very first day We were focused on building a Scalable Solution. Our team strategically designed the architecture and made use of the right technologies to achieve that. Also, using Cloud Computing was the best Decision that We had taken which helped in building a Scalable Software.
