What you need to know about PCI compliance

60% of consumers will not revisit the business where digital theft originated.  The cost of protecting this data is the cost of doing business.

Sixty percent is a disturbing figure, especially when compared to the frequency of this type of preventable and costly theft.  So you should ask yourself, is my POS system PCI Compliant?  Remember that a point of sale system is only as functional as the software you purchase, comparable to differing classes of vehicles.  While you are saving up for the right restaurant POS system for your business, check to be sure the following action items are addressed in the meantime:

-If your system is on the internet, make certain it is protected by a firewall
-Keep patches up to date
-Antivirus software is a must
-Change your passwords often
-Turn off remote access when not needed
-Stay educated on current online safety measures
-Contact pos provider to find out what you are storing

Mobile food safety through a restaurant POS system

Customers love the speedy service, quality items and flawless efficiency provided by a mobile POS device.  The device also enables a manager to be on the store floor rather than in the office, which also works to increase associate productivity.  The system is also complete with management alerts from POS.store reporting, such as inventory status reports.  Updated inventory and other reports are a measure to ensure food quality and safety within your hospitality based business.
