POS and menu price integration

Why restaurants want it

The big advantage of a digital menu board is that prices change quickly. But if a price is updated separately at the till and on the board, the two drift apart over time, and a customer sees one price on the board and another on the receipt. That mismatch can lead to arguments at the till and a loss of trust. With several branches the problem grows. A POS integration lets you manage prices in one place.

How it could work with MIA

Today you prepare a menu board in MIA with images or HTML content and update prices in the panel; breakfast and lunch menus switch by themselves with time rules. Changes wait under pending deployment and reach the screens when you approve them. An integration that reads product names, prices and stock from your POS system can be built for your installation. We would decide together whether price changes go live directly or wait for deployment approval. If prices differ by branch, tags could let each branch's screens show their own prices. Rules such as hiding a sold-out item or highlighting the deal of the day can also be discussed.

What we need to know to scope it

• Your POS system and how it shares its data
• The number of branches, and whether prices differ by branch
• The number of boards, their orientation and the menu layout
• Where product images and descriptions are kept

With this we would suggest a trial in one branch, on one board, first. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
