New-Generation POS: Ritapos and Restaurant Digitalization
Ritapos helps food and beverage businesses go digital with cloud-based POS. Here is how a system that needs no installation fits into restaurant operations.
How is Ritapos contributing to the digital revolution in an economy of more than 600,000 businesses worth close to 100 billion TL?
Ritapos, the fast POS system that needs no installation, started operating in 2016. During the pandemic, as the food and beverage sector rushed to go digital, it became one of the driving forces behind that change.
Ritapos offers for POS systems what Paraşüt and Kolay İK offer with their cloud-based solutions. It brings fresh air to the outdated POS systems restaurants have used for years, with a system that is cost-effective, easy to access, easy to use, runs in the cloud and stays open to new ideas. This is how Ritapos has managed to change the rules in an economy of more than 600,000 businesses worth close to 100 billion TL.
The pandemic changed how people behave and made the food and beverage sector far more open to innovation and technology. Curfews pushed restaurants toward delivery. As new living conditions put pressure on outdated systems, tools such as caller ID, online menus and QR menus became essential. Modern cloud-based systems like Ritapos made it possible to add these tools to guest check systems.
Before the pandemic there was resistance to ordering without a waiter and paying online. Since the pandemic, restaurants have started asking for exactly these features. The faster the food and beverage sector goes digital, the more interest Ritapos sees.
Although Ritapos is aimed first at small businesses, it is also the choice of franchise brands such as Pablo Artisan Coffee, Hamsi Finger and Dürüm Aşkı. Companies of this size can follow all their venues in real time through Ritapos and roll out whatever campaigns they want to their guests with ease.
Ritapos does more than move business management to the cloud. It also solves two of the biggest problems in the sector: cost and ease of use.
Setting up a mid-sized cafe-restaurant costs around 300,000 TL, and businesses have had to pay around 20,000-30,000 TL up front for outdated guest check software. Ritapos brings costs down with a pay-as-you-go model, so venues pay for it the way they pay a utility bill.
And it is free, without entering any credit card details! With no investment cost, which means no setup fee, Ritapos can be used without limits for life with a restricted feature set. For everything a business needs, including sales, stock, cash register and customer information, the fee is 69 TL a month.
Unlike other guest check apps, Ritapos needs no long installation or expert training. Restaurant owners can sign up for Ritapos as easily as signing up for Facebook and make their first sale within 10 minutes.
Ritapos became one of the players in the sector without taking any outside investment. Venues had taken 10 million orders through Ritapos by 2020, and more than 5 million in 2021 alone. Some venues now take 800 new orders a day on Ritapos.
