Shift4 POS features are easy to overlook, but when you tap into them, they can make a huge difference for your staff efficiency and guest satisfaction.
Here are a few features you might be underusing, and why they’re game-changers for both your team and your guests.
How many times have guests hovered around your restaurant waiting for a table, or worse, left because the wait was too long? With Shift4 POS’s Wait List feature, you can send guests a text message when their table is ready.
Why this matters:
Online orders are booming, but managing them alongside in-house orders can get chaotic without the right system. Shift4 POS’s KDS “Order is Ready” feature makes it simple: as soon as an online order is ready, it’s flagged on the KDS so your staff knows exactly when to complete and package it.
Why this matters:
Pro tip: Use the "Order is Ready" status to automatically notify delivery drivers or takeout guests, keeping your counter clear and your food hot.
Shift4 POS lets you collect 5-star ratings right on your handheld devices. Besides a review tool, you can also think of it as a way to train and motivate your team.
Why this matters:
