Types of POS Systems in Connecticut

There are many different food business types in Connecticut, which means that POS systems utilized throughout these businesses need to have diverse functionality. As you can see above, Katalyst is a point of sale system that offers the tools needed to cover a wide array of food business needs. Like many other point of sale solutions, this includes managing credit and debit cards transactions via your merchant account within the point of sale software, but it doesn't stop there. Below are some of the examples of the Connecticut businesses we service, and how our POS system fits within each.

Full-service Restaurant: In a full-service restaurant, tools such as reservation management, KDS compatibility, and payment pricing are key to servicing customers. Katalyst offers POS solutions with robust options in all of these categories.
Quick-service Restaurant: At a quick-service restaurant, tools such as self-order kiosks, branded mobile apps, and QR code ordering make ordering food quick and seamless. Katalyst’s wide array of POS solutions include no-contact, quick-ordering methods that allows for better customer experiences in this setting.
Coffee Shops: Coffee shops, retail shops and any other small business relies on POS systems that are quick, can add modifiers to orders, and ones that offer customer loyalty. Brand-building and quick payment tools are what Katalyst offers for busy coffee shops that need flexible POS technology.
Bars: Bars need waitlist and table management, as well as quick payment processing during busy services. Luckily, Katalyst offers all of these tools and more for bar settings.
Catering: Catering businesses often struggle with POS capabilities but not with Katalyst OS. Katalyst offers robust catering tools as part of our POS solutions, so that restaurants can offer it, along with dedicated catering businesses.
Food Truck: Due to the mobile nature of a food truck, offering handheld payment processors and branded mobile apps is a must for POS systems looking to cater to this food business type. Katayst’s handheld payment device, along with a customizable mobile app, makes building a following for your truck easy and efficient. Additionally, the cloud point of sale keeps you connected wherever you decide to take your business.
Ghost Kitchens: Ghost kitchens will often operate different brands out of their physical prep space. Requiring dual pricing capabilities from a POS system allows price diversity across brands while still managing these entities in a single hub.

How does POS payment work?

POS payments work through the system itself, accepting digital payments and processing them, usually at a fee that can vary depending on the hardware and the service that it provides.

Good point of sale solutions should accept credit card transactions from all major credit cards and debit cards providers and process payments in a timely manner.
