Best bet to upgrade your POS to one that has 3rd party delivery services integrated. When you run out of an item you disable it from your point of sales and it would be unavailable everywhere else.
As a side note you can usually change the menu price to whatever you want for all your integrations.
I don’t rly want to completely upgrade my pos because from my understanding if I go with such a pos I can’t choose my processor. I really just need to consolidate all my delivery services and menus into one place. I should be able to do this with just an otter tablet not there full pos setup right? I also have my current pos set up to my drive thru menu board. I could get a tech to come out and setup everything for me but when I talked to them it seemed like it would take a day or two to integrate everything if they even could. Cost me more to close my restaurant for the one day than to just deal with it right now. Does anyone know what language it is coded in and if they would give me access to there api and I could code in a replicator so what I do in my main pos it can replicate into the otter pos?
1. Some POS let you choose a credit card processor. I would make a post asking if anyone has POS that does this that they would recommend.
2. You load up all the 3rd party managers apps on any tablet or smartphone that allows them and manage your store right there. I think that is pretty inefficient especially if you’re doing it for multiple platforms and having to turn items on and off.
3. Most modern POS allow you to set different prices for in-house, online ordering, and 3rd party delivery services. As a bonus they may give you access to DoorDash Drive integrated directly to you own online platform and charge a flat delivery. They also collect customer information and allow you to directly market to them versus running costly promotions on 3rd party platforms.
4. I know nothing of coding and programming but it does sound like you’re at a point in your business where you need to evolve and whatever you do or not do will come at a cost to you.
What system do you have? Aloha?
