Sun over the lake, and suddenly half the promenade wants a table: restaurants in Konstanz, Friedrichshafen, Überlingen or Meersburg know these days. With the right POS your service stays fast even then – indoors, outdoors and right up to the last bill.
Whitefish fillet for table 14, two quarter litres of Müller-Thurgau for table 22, the cycling group wants to pay separately: now the POS decides whether your service runs or races.
On Bodensee, turnover depends on the weather: twice as many seats in sunshine, only the parlour when it rains. The POS has to handle both – and your team shouldn't walk more than necessary.
Parlour, conservatory, terrace and lakeshore as separate areas. With the handheld, orders are entered right at the table without a detour via the counter.
Whether the guest is from Konstanz, Kreuzlingen or Stuttgart: card, phone or cash – the terminal comes to the table and tips are booked straight away.
The table with a lake view is in demand. Guests book it online, get a reminder – and you plan staff and purchasing with real figures.
Dinner by the lake is a popular gift. With online vouchers you sell it online, even in the middle of winter.
No more slips at the pass: orders appear in the kitchen immediately, sorted by table and course. The kitchen calls up, and service knows what's happening.
You transfer daily sales, cash book and TSE data to your tax office via the DATEV interface – without retyping.
Change, deposits, withdrawals: the digital cash book records every movement in compliance with GoBD and makes closing easy.
What do your guests order in July, what in October? How strong was the trade-fair day? You also decide who may void or give discounts.
Inside the menu is running, outside the tables change every half hour. Anyone still working with a notepad now loses time and overview.
Around Bodensee, regulars meet cyclists from the Bodensee-Radweg, day-trippers from Switzerland and trade-fair visitors in Friedrichshafen. Plus high season from Easter to October and big events like the Konstanz Seenachtfest. On such days the POS mustn't become the bottleneck.
Order at the table into the handheld, drinks appear at the bar, food in the kitchen. No walking, no forgetting.
The kitchen display shows which table has been waiting how long. Starters and main courses are called up as needed.
Everyone pays for their own, by card or cash, right at the table. The table is free sooner for the next guests.
Temporary and seasonal staff work with their own login and are trained in a few minutes.
The POS handles ordering, billing and closing. Reservations, online ordering and staff rota come from specialised partners – we check beforehand how well they work with your POS.
Fixed at the counter and as a handheld outside.
Especially in season, the tables by the water are booked up quickly. A reservation tool takes calls off your hands.
Food to take away for a picnic by the lake or an evening at home – via your own ordering page.
Lots of temporary staff, long summer days: with a staff rota tool you keep track of shifts and hours.
It's best to introduce a new POS in the quiet period. Then your team is up to speed when the terrace is full again. We coordinate add-on solutions with your POS beforehand.
Before we recommend anything, we go through your dining room, terrace and kitchen with you.
Seats, areas, walking routes and Wi-Fi down to the terrace: we look at how your service works.
POS, handhelds, terminal and kitchen display – with prices and no surprises.
We set up the menu, table plan, printers and permissions before the first guest orders.
Service and kitchen get to know the POS on site. Afterwards we're there for questions and changes.
Kassenprofis supports restaurants in Konstanz and Friedrichshafen as well as in Überlingen, Meersburg, Radolfzell, Singen, Markdorf, Immenstaad and Langenargen – from a city restaurant in Konstanz's old town to an inn on the shore.
Whether a fish restaurant with a lake terrace, a wine tavern in the hinterland or a restaurant with trade-fair business: the equipment is tailored to the location, size and seasonal pattern of your establishment.
Anything else unclear? We'll gladly answer it when we visit your restaurant.
What matters is the number of seats, terrace business, kitchen workflow and whether you want to accept reservations online. On this basis we propose a suitable system.
We check this at the on-site appointment. If necessary, we recommend additional access points so that the handhelds work reliably even at the last table on the shore.
With many combinations, yes – then you see the reservation in the table plan. We clarify whether this works with the system you want before you decide.
They simply pay with their credit or debit card or by smartphone – just like everyone else. Settlement is in euros, and the guest's bank handles the conversion.
Yes. Whether Konstanz, Friedrichshafen or a small village on Überlinger See – set-up and briefing take place at your business.
With mobile devices for the terrace, a kitchen display and online reservations. This way your team serves more tables in less time – and guests don't wait for the bill.
Real businesses from the region – what wasn't working before and what we implemented together.
