Point of sale (POS) is the most widely accepted touch-based application in the hospitality market. In an industry where employee turnover is high, simplifying POS operation has resolved a major issue. An Elo touchscreen's natural, direct interface helps reduce training time and operator error. A touch-enabled, graphical user interface enhances time-sensitive operations from the reservation area to the kitchen. Touch-based systems do much more than speed up customer processing: more and more full-service hotels, restaurants, and fast-food chains are using their touch-based systems to capture and analyze detailed transaction data, while building a comprehensive customer database to help them better manage their businesses. Today, one touch-based system can analyze counter, delivery, and eat-in information, timekeeping, labor scheduling, inventory control, management reporting, accounting, promotions, and marketing. The results: a speedier, more organized service, and happier customers who keep coming back.

Elo countertop/desktop touchmonitors are perfect for a wide range of hospitality POS applications where cost, rugged design, and flexibility are top criteria. Countertop/desktop POS systems can fit into less space with a smaller footprint than older cash register systems. They come packaged in different form factors designed to be placed on existing hospitality fixtures such as countertops, server stations, and kitchen areas.

Point-of-sale touchmonitors are available with a host of touch technologies. AccuTouch five-wire resistive is the most widely used technology in POS applications. The POS system in a restaurant or hospitality environment is often subjected to liquid splashing, food and grease on the touchscreen, aggressive cleaning, and other harsh conditions. The AccuTouch technology handles these issues better than any other technology, at a competitive price.

Elo also provides a broad array of custom touchmonitor and touchcomputer manufacturing services. Elo's Custom Solutions are a great resource for your specialized touch requirements.
