Integrating Your POS with Delivery Platforms
Delivery orders are a significant revenue source for many restaurants. Integrating your POS with delivery platforms streamlines operations and reduces errors.
Why Integration Matters
Without integration, delivery orders require manual entry, which leads to:
- Errors in order entry
- Delayed order processing
- Inventory discrepancies
- Increased labor costs
Integration automates this process, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Most modern POS systems integrate with:
- Uber Eats
- Deliveroo
- Just Eat
- DoorDash
- Grubhub

Implementation Steps
1. **Choose Compatible Platforms**: Ensure your POS integrates with the delivery platforms you use.
2. **Configure Settings**: Set up menu mapping, pricing rules, and order routing.
3. **Test Thoroughly**: Test the integration before going live to ensure everything works correctly.
