Moving technology systems into the cloud is becoming more accepted in the hospitality industry, as experts and operators continue to tout the benefits, from the ability to update software at multiple locations in minutes rather than weeks, to savings in both cost and labor.
But what about utilizing the technology for point-of sale (POS) systems? Is it safe for such a mission critical application? Is it reliable, or will the result be downtime and lost sales? Industry experts, as well as operators who have taken the plunge, believe cloud-based POS is not only reliable and safe, but is also on its way to becoming the norm rather than the exception.
