Drafting the Right POS for Your FEC

With the NFL draft fast approaching, I started thinking about how teams evaluate the needs they hope to fill from the draft. Do they need an offensive player? a defensive player? someone on special teams?  What areas need improvement and what the best way to achieve it. This same evaluation is probably being used in your FEC on a daily basis.  Do you look at your POS as a member of your team?  With the right POS, you could find an “iron man” system, which would “play” on all sides of your FEC operation.

Offense:  The team that scores (increases revenue)

Online Party Booking / Online Ticketing – Does your current system allow you to do online bookings for parties and events and prevent overbooking?  Can you sell gift cards, merchandise or tickets from your facility 24 hours a day 7 days a week?  Averages for online sales show a 10 to 15% increase in online purchases since 2010. Some reports predict a 10% compound annual growth rate thru 2015.  Make sure you facility gets in on its share.

Defense:  The team that protects your goal line (or bottom line)

Inventory Control – Do you know how many orders of French fries you sold vs how many cases you ordered last month?  How many went out the back door when you weren’t looking?  Inventory control and regular auditing can save you countless dollars over any time period.

Time Clock Scheduling – How about the number of times that members of your staff clocked in 20 minutes before there shift started?  Even with a small staff, the extra payroll dollars involved can add up to big money.

Employee Theft – No one wants to ever admit it, but if you have employees working with cash, you probably have some theft.  The right Point of Sale can help protect your money.

Special Teams:  The team that makes the difference between winning and losing (all the extras)
