The five key benefits of a cloud-based POS for your restaurants

Cloud technology gives you greater control over what is happening in your locations, even worldwide. It is a single global system with multi-language and currency support, allowing you to maintain consistency without limiting your ability to adapt to local needs. As a result, the cloud changes how your business operates and benefits everyone.

Accessibility

Сloud-based systems are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, enabling employees to access information and perform tasks anywhere worldwide. As a big plus, cloud-based systems are often more cost-effective than traditional on-premises systems because they do not require expensive hardware or infrastructure.

Security

Сloud systems are secure because they store data on remote servers protected from physical threats and malware. When installing Simphony Cloud, we handle all security aspects, including data protection, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular backups. This is especially important for hotels that handle sensitive customer information and make their work much more manageable. Simphony Cloud keeps your data secure using advanced encryption and backup technologies to protect your restaurants' sensitive information. 

Scalability

Cloud systems are scalable, allowing you to add or remove users and resources as needed, which is especially useful for growing businesses. Integration allows your applications to access real-time information from the POS system. In addition, it automates tracking and record-keeping, simplifying your business's organization and making the process more convenient for restaurant employees and guests. Simphony Cloud integrates with other systems, such as POS terminals and delivery systems, allowing restaurants to create a single platform to manage their business.

Automatic updates

Сloud systems are automatically updated, ensuring you always use the latest software version. The installation of cloud solutions removes the hotel's responsibility and control over software updates. The provider makes the updates, which are automatically distributed to all users. 

In other words, technical specialists of the cloud software provider do not have to travel to the hotel, which means that the owner does not have to pay for additional hours of work of the provider's technical support. The same principle applies to bug fixes and any system enhancements: all edits are automatically distributed to all clients connected to the system.

Cost savings

Cloud technology allows companies to save on hardware and software costs by utilizing the resources of a cloud service provider instead of buying and maintaining their own hardware. Cloud technology also allows hotels to pay only for the resources they use, which avoids overpaying for excess capacity. Cloud services include software licenses, which help companies avoid additional costs.
