Point of Sale Systems for Small Business

Choose a POint of Sale provider that aligns with your own business’ values 

If you’re a small business owner, you’ll know that putting together a strong business plan is essential when embarking upon a new venture. Having identified a demand for your product or service in the market, a good business plan can assist you in understanding your competitors and plotting a strategy for competitive advantage. 

After analysing your competitive market, where is your business positioned? 

  • Cost leadership 

Can you offer your customers the lowest cost option of your product/service, compared to your industry’s average? Businesses that have a cost leadership focus tend to be larger, operating on mass with the potential benefit of preferential supply costs and/or self-owned technology/supplies. 

The pros: 
With below industry pricing, cost leaders tend to dominate market share, reaching a wider audience and sometimes breaking into new markets. 

The cons: 
There is always the potential for a competitor to undercut your product/service, meaning you may be pressured into reducing your pricing further. To be profitable, the business is likely to rely on high sales volume. When positioning your business as ‘low-cost,’ it can also be perceived as low-quality. 

  • Differentiation 

Businesses that choose to pursue a differentiation strategy focus on one or more factors that their target customer deems important. Their product/service is then positioned to fulfil these customer’s needs. This normally means that a higher price point can be achieved. 

The pros: 
By offering a premium product/service, businesses focusing on a differentiation strategy can usually charge higher prices. By standing out from their competitors, they can gain increased brand loyalty and build stronger relationships with their customers. 

The cons: 
Customers who are price sensitive may instantly overlook your product/service. It can be hard to communicate brand differentiation. You may need to use paid resources to communicate this message to your target market, leading to higher customer attribution costs. Customers may not perceive what you have identified as a valuable difference as valuable to them or valuable enough to pay a higher price. 

  • Focus 

Can your market be further segmented to create a more niche customer target? Businesses may choose to narrow their market reach by focusing on a smaller target customer base. Like differentiation, a focus strategy can achieve a more premium price point, with products/services that are able to fulfil the unique needs of a niche customer base.  

The pros: 
With a focus strategy, businesses may also benefit from lower customer attribution costs, and a better understanding of their market’s needs, leading to stronger customer relationships.  

The cons: 
It is possible that competitors offering the same or similar niche product/service will enter the market limiting the opportunity to win or retain customers. Furthermore, if these competitors are able to offer lower prices or better fulfil customer needs then it makes competing hard. A small customer base can mean that there is little room for business growth, however, expanding out into alternative markets risks potentially forfeiting the uniqueness that first attracted your niche customers. 

But what does this have to do with point of sale

Like most industries, the point of sale market is filled with a multitude of companies competing for their share. As a small business it can be hard to decide what point of sale system is best for you. 

Most POS companies will showcase a list of key features on their website. As a small business, perhaps even newly established, it can be overwhelming and hard to distinguish what is right for you. 

Any decent point of sale supplier will be able to offer you a system that will allow you to operate your small business effectively. But choosing the right POS company is the hard bit!  

Choosing a point of sale company that aligns with, supports and complements your business is key. You need to think back to when you were considering the strategy you would take to compete in your chosen market. What is it that you value most? 

Do you have a niche business that requires unique features or support to assist you in running your operation? Perhaps you are a start-up company with limited funds and resources? Or do you prioritise quality over cost? 

At EPOS Systems we see the value of exceptional customer service. We know that running a small business is stressful and having a reliable support team on hand is invaluable. Understanding this is how we have continued to thrive and grow in a competitive point of sale market for over 40 years. 

Like you, we are a small business. Small in size, but big on support. Our team of seven share 112 years of combined EPOS experience. We are passionate about POS!

Why Your Local Garden Centre is Growing

The UK has an estimated 2300 garden centres, with Dobbies Garden Centres being the largest chain owning almost 80 sites.  

More than just nurseries, modern garden centres are a destination, offering a multitude of retail offerings and concessions, as well as having a focus on food and beverage. 

So, why is the garden centre scene changing? 

By diversifying their products and services, garden centres have seen a huge increase in footfall, dwell time and revenue. Garden centre cafés now contribute around 20% of turnover. 

With 68% of UK adults visiting a garden centre at least once last year, there’s a whole lot of opportunity. 

But what attracts people to visiting their local garden centre? 

  • Car Parking 

    Often on the outskirts of towns and cities, garden centre visitors normally benefit from large, free car parks.  

  • Space 

    Again, due to their location, garden centres usually have a large footprint allowing for ample leisurely browsing space. 

  • Facilities  

    On the hunt for a new house plant?  In need of a new scarf? Or just desperate for some smashed avocado on toast? Garden centres now offer flexible facilities that complement all kinds of lifestyles.  

  • Family Friendly 

    Garden centres are the perfect rainy day, family friendly destination. Many offering play areas, animal encounters and even aquariums. 

  • Social Experience and Events 

    From Halloween displays to Santa’s Grotto, garden centres are fast becoming the destination for seasonal events. Not only does theming encourage organic public social media sharing, it also creates social experiences for the local community. 

  • Botanical Trends 

    Botany is booming. Consumers are keen to create calm living environments by bringing the outdoors indoors.  

  • Grow Your Own 

    35% of UK adults ‘grow their own’ herbs, fruits and vegetables. And the trend is growing, with 43% of the next green fingered generation (those under 40) activate in vegetable cultivation. 

  • Environmental Movement  

    With a worldwide emphasis on sustainability, many garden centres have seized the opportunity to educate and influence their customers in how to implement sustainable practices. From organic gardening solutions, to creating compost and saving water, garden centres are providing the products and guidance needed to maintain a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. 

  • The Pandemic Effect 

    Whilst many businesses remained closed during the national lockdowns, garden centres were one of the first places to be allowed to reopen. The government deemed garden centres as a necessity, allowing Brits to purchase garden supplies, giving them an opportunity to connect with their outdoor spaces. 

    And let’s not forget all the pandemic provoked home improvements! Being confined to their own properties made the nation more appreciative of their own space, and saw many undertaking home enhancement projects both indoors and outdoors. In fact, over 7 million people began gardening during the pandemic, and data suggests garden centre trade shows no sign of slowing down. 

Are you a garden centre retailer? Whether you own a small, independent garden shop, or are a multi-site owner, we have the EPOS expertise to assist in the smooth operation of your business. Call us today to find out how we can help.

UK Retail: 2024 Christmas Footfall

Christmas. The busiest time of year for many industries, especially retail. But will this year's festive footfall be naughty or nice? We reviewed data published by MRI Software to find out.

It's hard to consider this year's retail trends without first looking back to 2019, pre-pandemic. And the good news is that 2023 saw a return to 'normal' for Christmas retail trends with this year following suit.

As always, Black Friday kicks off the start of the silly season spending. Now with Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, how is the rest of the month faring?

Data from MRI Software predicts a rise in footfall for all shopping locations, including 1% increase in retail parks, 2% in shopping centres and 5% on the high street.

Jenni Matthews, MRI Software's Marketing and Insights Director, suggests high streets historically perform better during the festive season due to Christmas attractions (such as markets and lights) drawing crowds to town centres.

Matthews offered advice to retailers looking to attract footfall in to store rather than online, commenting that promotions, special shopping evenings or workshops could help drive traffic.

She also remarked that maximising convenience for customers was key, offering click and collect options and store opening times that make it easy for people to shop around their working hours. Ensuring that the atmosphere in store is welcoming, not too hot or cold.

Using data from your point of sale system to identify your business' own shopping trends and using that to manage your staffing and store operations.

Though Black Friday is considered the 'biggie' when it comes to the Christmas shopping calendar; it's worth noting that Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday this year. With some predicting that Saturday 21st December will be a 'super' Saturday with people rushing to finish their shopping.

And let's not forget the Boxing Day sales madness! According to MRI Software's data, Boxing Day shopping in recent years has only been a tad 'mad,' as families presumably prefering to continue their festivities at home. Whilst 2023 saw a peak in footfall on Thursday 28th December as people ventured out of their Christmas lull.

So, though the Christmas countdown is on, there's still plenty of December shopping days left to make 2024 a very bright and prosperous year in retail.

Outdoor Smoking Ban - Another Knock for UK Hospitality?

With 80,000 deaths attributed to smoking in the UK each year, the Government are reviewing new steps in cracking down on the habit. Their hope is that banning smoking in certain outdoor spaces; such as beer gardens, outside sporting venues and even small parks; will help relieve the burden smoking puts on the NHS and also tax-payers.

The proposal has been met with scepticism by many of those in the hospitality industry. Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality commented, “A ban on smoking in outdoor spaces comes with the prospect of serious economic harm to hospitality venues. You only have to look back to the significant pub closures we saw after the indoor smoking ban to see the potential impact it could have.

“This ban would not only affect pubs and nightclubs, but hotels, cafes and restaurants that have all invested significantly in good faith in outdoor spaces and continue to face financial challenges.

“The government must embark on a full and detailed conversation with affected parties on the impact of such a ban before any legislation is laid. It must also assess whether such a ban would achieve its aims of meaningfully reducing smoking or simply relocate smoking elsewhere, such as in the home.”

With many hospitality businesses juggling with the huge economic pressures that have impacted the sector in recent years, one independent hospitality owner spoke to EPOS Systems about the concerns they have over the ban. "After a challenging few years with COVID, followed by increased costs and a cost of living crisis, as a small independent business we need to be supported through these challenging times. And whilst I understand and support improving public health in general, this policy is at the wrong time and will negatively impact the hospitality sector that’s already struggling."

If implemented, the ban would see smokers receiving a Fixed Penalty Fine of £150 if found smoking in a restricted area. Those refusing to pay would be liable for prosecution. Businesses could also be fined up to £2500 if they do not put reasonable measures in place to comply with the restrictions. The ban would follow the same procedures enforced after the indoor smoking ban was put in place in 2007.

According to Action on Smoking Health (ASH), the indoor smoking ban led to a 2.4% reduction in hospital admissions for heart attacks, and a 12.3 % reduction in admissions for childhood asthma.

Following the 2007 ban, until 2015, around 7000 pubs closed their doors, many citing that the smoking ban was largely to blame. Yet other factors such as a hike in tax imposed on alcoholic drinks and the 2008 recession are also likely to have had an impact. Equally, many pubs florished in the ban's aftermath, deciding to become more food or family-focused.

With compelling points from both side of the argument, perhaps the best way to move forward is to do so together. Reiterating the comments made by Nicholls, if there is enough evidence to suggest the proposal will achieve the Government's objectives, then conversations must be had with any affected parties. That way a mutual solution that not only contributes to the improvement of public health, but also encourages the hospitality sector to thrive will hopefully be achieved.

Intuitive EPOS for The Grampian Transport Museum

This case study was originally published by our point of sale partner, ICRTouch, on 6th September 2024.

Located in the historic village of Alford, the Grampian Transport Museum boasts an impressive range of transport exhibits, from travelling chariots of the 1800’s to some of the fastest cars ever made. The venue showcases hundreds of transport artefacts and operates a newly refurbished tea room, reception and shop, alongside which they offer a range of visitor services from tours and talks, to hiring meeting rooms for private functions and more.

In order to streamline day to day operations, The Grampian Transport Museum reached out to an Authorised ICRTouch Gold Partner, EPOS Systems, for a range of intuitive EPOS solutions to meet their needs.

The brief - Streamlined communication and enhanced operational efficiency

The museum team were looking for a system that enabled them to create a seamless process between front of house and kitchen teams, streamlining communications and speeding up service. They needed a solution that’s easy-to-use, efficient and can be installed quickly, with minimal disruption during business hours.

Due to the range of services they offer and various revenue streams across the tea rooms and retails shops, intelligent reporting was also a requirement, in order to gain a complete bird’s eye view of the museum’s entire operations.

In order to effortlessly upgrade their existing systems, the Museum reached out to our Authorised Gold Partner, EPOS Systems, who listened carefully to their needs and suggested a range of solutions.

The solution - Robust and reliable systems that streamline operations

The EPOS Systems team decided to implement the following solutions to meet the customer’s needs:

The result - Efficient service and informed business decisions

The systems provide the museum with an easy to use and efficient solution that streamlines communication between front of house and kitchen teams, allowing them to carry out day-to-day operations more seamlessly.

The customer especially loved the system’s stock management features. Having input all stock information and menu recipes, they’re using these features to get a better handle on the museum’s stock control and gain an understanding of where cost cuts can be made.

The museum now benefits from a solution that covers every aspect of the business, allowing them to streamline operations, boost revenue and make informed decisions at the same time.

“We implemented ICRTouch's TouchPoint with support from DigiTickets to take control of our kitchen and food functions in the museum, and give us full visibility of waste, sales and profitability in a way we’ve never had before. The EPOS Systems team were very helpful and delivered the project on time, to our needs and requirements.

Case Study: The Beatles Story

This case study was originally published by our point of sale partner, ICRTouch, on 30th July 2024.

The Beatles Story benefit from streamlined operations

The Beatles Story is an award-winning museum located in Liverpool. Based in the band’s birthplace, the venue offers a unique immersive experience, sharing stories about the band’s journey and music. The business opened in 1990, and by its 25th anniversary, it had welcomed more than four million visitors and boosted the Liverpool economy by approximately £300m.

In order to efficiently tackle the high footfall the venue experiences, The Beatles Story reached out to an Authorised Gold Partner, EPOS Systems for a range of industry leading, reliable EPoS solutions.

The Beatles Story on The Royal Albert Dock opened its doors to the public in May 1990 and has been an expanding business ever since, welcoming an incredible 315,000 visitors in just 2019 alone. The business is considered an integral part of “Liverpool’s future visitor economy growth”.

As well as offering a range of fun activities, The Beatles Story also operates two busy cafés and retail stores which host thousands of international visitors each year. Managing these areas without the right EPoS system during high footfall periods became a real challenge, which is why The Beatles Story team were seeking a solution that would speed up service and streamline operations during peak hours.

The customer reached out to an Authorised Gold Partner, EPOS Systems, who listened carefully to their needs and suggested a range of intuitive solutions to fulfil expectations.

The solution - Seamless integration to manage operations

The clarity and detail of communication between EPOS Systems, DigiTickets and The Beatles Story was a pivotal factor in the success of the installation, allowing for a quick and efficient implementation of the solutions.

The customer now benefits from a user friendly, all-in-one system and intelligent back-office reporting, allowing them to make informed business decisions moving forward.

"The launch of this new EPOS solution came at an exciting time for The Beatles Story, alongside the introduction of a brand-new ticketing system from DigiTickets and a new website from Ultimate agency, striving towards a streamlined operation that enhances the visitor experience and supports our venue's continued growth"

Is the UK Becoming a Cashless Society?

As reported by the Evening Standard; "No orders for new coins intended for general circulation have been sent by the Treasury to the Royal Mint this year." Furthering speculation that the UK is fast becoming a 'cashless society.'

EPOS Systems reviewed the Payment Markets Report for 2023, produced by UK Finance in collaboration with Accenture, which explores the past year’s payment trends. As suspected, cash was on the decline but debit card remained the most popular means of payment. We are pleased to share the key findings that impact the EPOS industry in our infographic below.

AI and Restaurants: An Industry That's AI-Proof?

Sitting in Bella Italia with my family, the restaurant suddenly erupted with laughter as a waiter with a sweet voice sang happy birthday to a nearby table. Wow they can really hold a tune I thought, as I spun round to check out who owned the voice. Huh! I suddenly realised this voice was not coming from a human. Instead, it was being projected from a 3ft(ish) cat-like robot, who was belting out an encore whilst delivering a plethora of desserts to the birthday table.

And that got me thinking... novel as it is to have a robot serve tables in your restaurant. Had that robot stolen some poor human waiter's job? Did you need to tip this robot waiter? What happened if you wanted an informed opinion to help you decide between two dishes? I appreciate the huge benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, but surely a machine couldn't learn to form a view on something that it can't even consume?! In a world where staffed checkouts are being replaced by self-service kiosks and takeaways are being delivered by drones; do people really want to get rid of human waiting staff too?

Turns out they don't. Or so 80% of the people we polled agreed. When it comes to dining in restaurants, human interaction and rapport with waiting staff is key and all part of the experience. But that's only front of house. How about the kitchen? As AI started exploding, rumours of machines replacing kitchen staff started unsettling the restaurant industry. But again, really? Can the passion and love that most chefs use to create their dishes really be replaced by a machine? A piece of machinery that has no tastebuds and whose only 'opinion' is what it has been taught to have by a human? Personally, I think not.

Ok, so if our front and back of house staff are AI-proof, is there room for AI in restaurants at all? I believe there is. But not as some big scary AI monster looking to steal everyone's jobs. As a tool to assist the humans in enhancing the customer experience.

For example, providing your waiting staff with a handheld device that is programmed with the allergen information for each item on the menu. Allowing them to answer any queries relating to allergies at the table rather than reporting back to the kitchen. Or, the ability to detail the exact cost breakdown of every ingredient in each dish, providing management with clear and concise P&L reporting.

So in summary, your restaurant customers want you! Not an artifical interaction or a dish cooked by a machine. Humans are what adds value to your restaurant and the restaurant experience for your customers. There's room for AI too, but only if it helps you.

If you're considering hospitality software to help with your restaurant operation then give our sales team a call on 0800 059 0991. They'll be happy to help.

Case Study: The White Lion

Nestled in the heart of the Welsh countryside, The White Lion Ystradowen boasts a beautifully renovated bar/restaurant and two luxurious guest rooms.

Offering a varied menu of hearty classics and Sunday roasts, the cosy country kitchen is a popular destination for both village residents and non-residents, many travelling into the area just to sample the cuisine.

Having recently undergone a change of management, the new owners sought a point-of-sale supplier who could provide reliable and accessible customer support along with an easy-to-use system.

With 7-day-a-week, expert support and user-friendly software, EPOS Systems were able to deliver on all the owners’ business needs.

The flexibility and functionality of TouchPoint and TouchOffice (EPOS Systems’ pioneering point of sale and cloud back-office systems), alongside integrated PDQ terminals, allowed The White Lion to provide a smoother and speedier operation.

The install was led by Tom, EPOS Systems’ newly promoted Technical Engineer. Since starting his apprenticeship at the company in July 2022, Tom has shown real drive and determination and excelled when given the task of leading his first solo installation. The management at The White Lion couldn’t agree more:

“The team at EPOS Systems have been amazing. Their speed and proficiency has been superb.”
