Top 10 POS Features to Help You Run Your Restaurant More Efficiently 

Some things, like being able to send orders to the kitchen and process payments, can be found with almost every POS system on the market. However, the difference between an average system that merely gets the job done—and a modern, state-of-the-art POS that makes your business better—comes down to nuanced, specialized functionalities.

In the restaurant world, the smallest details can make or break you, so let’s take a look at Adora’s top 10 features that can help you run your restaurant more efficiently:
