It’s no surprise that installing a new POS is a top priority for 32% of restaurants. A POS integration creates a bridge for DoorDash to send and retrieve data from your POS system so you can manage incoming orders and menu updates in one place.
What is a Point-of-Sale System?
Digital POS systems have revolutionized how small businesses operate. In addition to letting business owners track sales, cash flow, and inventory in real-time, they also streamline the ordering process in restaurants, bars, and other vendors serving food and drinks.
DoorDash can be integrated with several leading POS providers, so that everything — menu data, ordering channels, and sales — is in one place, no matter where the order came from.
What are the Benefits of DoorDash POS Integrations?
Integrating DoorDash with your POS system simplifies running your business in a number of ways.
Automatic updates: Any changes you make to your menu on your POS system will be automatically reflected on your DoorDash menu.
Less hardware: Integration means all your orders — dine-in, takeout, and delivery — will show up in the same place. There’s no need for an extra tablet (and no need to train your staff how to use multiple platforms).
Fewer errors: With DoorDash orders sent directly to your POS, there’s no need for your staff to manually enter off-premise orders into your POS system, reducing the possibility of human error.
Track your performance: You can review and analyze your DoorDash ordering trends directly from your POS system.
How to Connect DoorDash and Your POS System
