Best Restaurant/Bar POS Interfaces with Beverage Control System
Liquor or beverage control system, what is it and how can it improve your operation and earn you more money?
Beverage control systems are systems that control pour portions for liquor, beer and wine, ensuring accountability, consistency and reducing the amount of spillage and overpours. As a business owner you want to consistently get the highest yield out of your inventory. With the functionality to easily pre-program your beverage pours for cocktails, liquor, shots, beer and wine, you will receive a guaranteed yield on all alcoholic beverages, leading to increased profitability associated with these costs. The system provides accountability by recording all drinks. Eliminating give a ways and potential theft. On average a bar or nightclub that implements a beverage control system will enjoy 5% increase in revenue the first month.
MAITRED POINT OF SALE INTERFACE WITH BEVERAGE CONTROL SYSTEM
Maitre’d Point of Sale system is an easy to use, feature rich, customizable restaurant point of sale system that features a seamless interface with beverage control systems. Integrating the Maitred Point of Sale system with a beverage control system will provide you with the highest level of efficiency, accountability and profitability. With Maitred’s ring then pour functionality, all alcoholic beverages must be entered into the point of sale system before the beverage control system can release the product. When the product is released it is always the pre-programmed pour. With Maitred’s product mix reports inventory management is more accurate and less time consuming easily detecting variances, their causes and eliminating them.
The breakdown of lost revenue due to over pours, spillage, theft and miscellaneous:
Cost of 1 case/12 bottles/1 liter : $60.00
The estimated national average loss from spillage, over pouring and give a ways : 4oz
The estimated industry average of drinks sold per liter that never reach the register: 3.4
Using these averages and a $6.00 per drink price using 2 cases a week, we can see the financial impact below:
WHOLESALE LOSS PER CASE: $7.20
WEEKLY WHOLSALE COST LOSS: $14.40
MONTHLY WHOLESALE COST LOSS: $61.92
RETAIL LOSS PER BOTTLE: $20.40
RETAIL LOSS PER CASE: $244.80
WEEKLY RETAIL LOSS: $489.60
MONTHLY RETAIL LOSS: $2105.28
AVERAGE LIQUOR LOSSES PER MONTH: $2167.20
LIQUOR LOSSES PER YEAR: $26,006.40
These numbers can be staggering. We are only analyzing 1 single liter of liquor that we sell 2 cases per week. The best way to ensure this does not happen is to implement the feature rich, customizeable and easy to use Maitre’d restaurant Point of Sale system by Smart POS, integrating a beverage control system. Your losses will stop, your variances will be discovered and eliminated. This will also improve customer service with quick ordering at the point of sale, checks presented and closed efficiently, making sure your customers receive fast, efficient and accurate service.

Fear Mongering, Liability Shift, POS Credit Cards New EMV Chip Technology
Fear Mongering is the action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue. I have at least one customer a week contact me to inform me that a credit card processing company has come into their business stating that because of the new chip embedded credit cards being issued by banks they will not be able to accept these cards or will face fines and liability for fraud unless they switch to their processing company. I explain to them that Maitre’d Restaurant Point of Sale System is and always will be PCI (payment card industry) compliant ( currently certified until the end of 2017).
“Creative Marketing” or “Fear Mongering” by hardware OEMs pertaining to US EMV migration is leading to rampant confusion among merchants. Talking to our customers about the real benefits and short-comings of EMV will prove to be invaluable in regard to their comfort-level when it comes time to make an upgrade decision. Because EMV is simply a liability shift and not a mandate, merchants should first determine if the cost to upgrade to EMV is justified. Merchants who regularly experience charge backs or fraudulent card use will likely upgrade to EMV before the deadline, while those that don’t have in-store fraud or disputed transaction issues may be better served to wait until their next POS upgrade to move to EMV – if at all.
Remember, Maitre’d Restaurant Point of Sale System has been accepting emv integrated payments in Canada and Europe for years. As soon as the United States emv protocols are established we will meet with our customers to explain the migration and determine if upgrading makes sense.
For anyone considering a new Point of Sale system for their restaurant, Maitre’d by Smart POS will provide you with the newest, most reliable and secure integrated payment technology along with a feature rich easy to use point of sale system. Contact us today for a demo.
Maitre’d Kitchen Video System by Smart POS provides more efficiency and saves money
Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) have become staples in many casual, quick and fine dining restaurants, and it’s easy to see why.
Systems like the Maitre’d color video monitor (CVM) by Smart POS can enhance productivity and efficiency not just in the kitchen, but throughout an entire restaurant.
If you’re still unsure of what makes Kitchen Display Systems the better choice than kitchen printers, here are some key points to consider:
- First, KDS have a lower total cost of ownership than printers. Think of all the money you’re spending on paper and ribbons for your printer each year. With the Kitchen Display System, you pay for the license and monitors up-front, there are no recurring costs.
- Secondly, a KDS eliminates the confusion that can come with printers. It’s easy for orders to get lost in the shuffle when kitchen staff is forced to look through a jumble of order slips. When orders are entered into the system, they are organized and displayed clearly on a computer screen.
- Finally using the Maitre’d Kitchen Display System by Smart POS will ensure you are doing your part for the environment by not using printers in the kitchen.
Below is a sample return on investment using the Maitre’d Kitchen Display System by Smart POS.
CVM System with 3 monitors vs. 3 Impact Network Printers
The CVM Kitchen Video Display System provides features and benefits that a kitchen printer simply cannot offer. Kitchen staff productivity and order accuracy are increased. Service times are decreased. Operating costs, in the form of paper and ribbons, are reduced dramatically. Compare the ROI numbers in the chart below. We believe you will see that the CVM Kitchen Video Display System is a great solution for your kitchen.
“…CVM Kitchen Video Display System has allowed us to fill orders on the fly, ensuring the freshness of our food. Our kitchen staff is getting a jump on assembly, while the customer is still finalizing the order. The system is easy to use. It’s been a tremendous value to us.”
– Bill Lowe, President at The Restaurant Company

EMV Is Coming, Smart POS and Maitre’d are ready
What is EMV?
EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard® and Visa®, the developers of this technology. EMV has been used in Europe since 1992, and steps are now being taken to make it the standard payment type in the U.S. due to the significant reductions in fraud it produces.
EMV, also known as chip and PIN payments, starts with the consumer being issued a card into which a smart-chip has been embedded. At the time of the transaction, the card is inserted into an EMV-enabled payment terminal, which uses chip technology to verify the purchase and sends a signal to the point-of-sale (POS) device to complete the transaction. At this point, the customer may have to enter a PIN rather than sign the payment receipt, depending on the type of payment card they are using. Other than the insertion of the chip card, the sale takes place as normal – no special action is needed from the merchant. It’s important to note that in an EMV transaction, the payment card is not given to the merchant. It stays with the customer, providing an additional layer of security.
Why Adopt EMV Chip Technology?
There are two key reasons that it’s important to consider adopting EMV chip technology now. The first is, as a merchant, you never want to turn down a sale. Currently, chip cards will still have the magnetic stripe and will be usable in older terminals. However, soon you may find that you are losing sales without an EMV enabled terminal.
Secondly, EMV can help to reduce the incidence of fraud by scanning for counterfeit cards and rejecting them. EMV is a proven technology – chip cards have been used in Europe and Canada for years and have been shown to dramatically reduce fraud. In fact, the major payment brands, including MasterCard, Visa and American Express are planning a ‘liability shift’ where merchants without EMV-enabled terminals will be responsible for point-of-sale fraud losses that could have been prevented with chip technology systems.
Smart POS and Maitre’d are ready.
Maitred POS systems have been accepting EMV payments for years throughout Canada. Smart POS can be your partner in ensuring your customers payment data is safe and secure.
