Commercial POS machines can greatly save liquidity by strictly managing inventory and reducing inventory, while the catering industry must manage the kitchen, bar and lobby in a unified way to avoid material waste and loss. In addition, the catering industry mostly adopts the service mode that customers spend first and then pay, which takes a long time from the start of a transaction to the final checkout, and during this period, it also has to deal with complicated operations such as adding food, returning, changing, discounting and multi-table unified checkout. However, the ordinary cash register can only handle the payment method of cash on delivery, that is, pay as you buy, and its function can not meet the needs of the catering industry. Therefore, the special cash register for catering must have the function of account management or table account management, and form a special cash collection system for restaurants to solve the problems and loopholes in all aspects of catering business and improve the efficiency and management level of restaurants.
