After researching the many potential point of sale systems, Doc Popcorn chose pcAmerica’s Restaurant Pro Express™ POS package. The solution, recommended by pcAmerica, included the Elo Touchsystems 15B1 All-in-One (AiO) Touchcomputer from TE Connectivity and Epson’s TM-T70 thermal receipt printer.

With Mobile POS, restaurants will be able to reduce or eliminate a customer’s wait time. Since timely customer service is such an important factor for ensuring repeat business, it is imperative to make sure customers are waiting the shortest amount of possible time.

Additionally, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, passed by Congress in 2010, retailers and restaurant owners can set minimum price levels for the use of credit cards in their establishments.

Using PCI-compliant technology at the physical point of sale constitutes PCI compliance by default. While this may be the case, remember that PCI guidelines also require the implementation of measures to ensure the physical security of networks and payment technology as well as the maintenance of written security policies.
