Q5 HOSPITALITY EPOS SYSTEM

Q5 SYSTEM OVERVIEW


 SUITED TO ALL TYPES OF FOOD & DRINK BUSINESSES
The Q5 package is one of our most sophisticated EPOS Systems suitable for use in bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants, bistros, wine bars and delis. This advanced system is pre-loaded with the latest SamTouch EPoS software to meet a variety of hospitality business requirements.

 COMPREHENSIVE FEATURES
The Q5 system includes fast Point-of-Sale functions for eat-in and takeaway orders, with stock control, comprehensive sales reporting, staff performance monitoring, financial accounting reports and a range of sales analysis reports to give you total management control.

 COVID-SECURE FEATURES
The SamTouch software has a number of features to help keep your business Covid-19 Secure and comply with UK goverment legislation.

This includes:

Contact Tracing function so date, time and contact details for each restaurant visitor and their party can be logged and reported.

Discount function to automatically calculate the 50% "Eat Out to Help Out" discount with the £10 cap, excluding alcohol drinks and applying on the appropriate days.

Optional Table ordering app where customers can order directly from their smartphone, make a card payment and have their order ticket printed out on the kitchen printer, thus minimising waiting staff physical interaction.

 COMPLETE POS PACKAGE
The Q5 system features the modern-design high-performance Sam4s Titan S360 15" Touchscreen Terminal with its slimline design, waterproof front, silent operation and fast performance. As standard, the Q5 package includes a full-size robust Cash Drawer and a fast Sam4s Thermal Receipt Printer. The solid technical specification and the established EPoS software enable the Q5 to provide many years of reliable use for your business.

 HANDLE MULTIPLE SIZES, FOOD / DRINK MODIFIERS, CONDIMENTS
It supports multiple sizes (eg. Small / Regular / Large, Pint / Half Pint, Single / Double, 125ml / 175ml / 250ml, Glass / Bottle / Jug etc) and allows customised pop-up choice windows where required (eg. White Bread / Brown Bread / Roll / Baguette, Vanilla / Strawberry / Chocolate, Rear / Medium Well / Well Done etc) with upto 20 options per pop-up, and multiple pop-ups where required (eg. Bread, Filling, Dressing).

 TABLE MAP, BAR TABS, HOTEL ROOMS
For restaurants, the Q5 keeps track of tables on a user-friendly and speedy-use Graphical Table Map. When setting up the map, this can incorporate multiple zones or floors and function rooms. Tables can be sized and shaped (eg. square, rectangular, circular) or you can even load actual photos of your premises and furniture to provide a real view. Bar tabs can be set, storing the name and running balance with an itemised bill. For telephone and delivery orders, the system will keep track of bills until payment is registered. For hotels, the system can track bills for a room, allow bills to be transferred from a bar tab or restaurant table to a room number, and can print interim stubs for the customer to sign as proof of purchase.

 SPLIT BILLS, ADD SERVICE CHARGES, APPLY DISCOUNTS
Bills can allow deposit payments, bills can be transferred from one table to another, bills can be easily split between multiple customers either on a 'go dutch' basis or by individual items, and there is an extensive array of discounting functions, as well as surcharges (eg. Service Charge), which can be calculated automatically or applied manually. You can discount by an amount or percentage, either to a particular item or to the while bill. You can mark a bill item 'Complimentary". More sophisticated set up allows discount buttons to be applied for particular groups, such as 'food only' or selected items on the menu.

 WAITER TABLETS & OPTIONAL MODULES
Full of functions that are used by staff and management everyday in restaurants, cafes and bars, the Q5 also offers an impressive list of extended modules to support development of any modern hospitality business. See Options tab above

 EASY TO PROGRAM & USE
Despite its advanced and comprehensive capabilities, the Q5 is very easy to set up, very easy to use and boasts impressive cosmetics with 3d screen buttons, crisp easy-to-read fonts, and vibrant modern colour schemes.

 NETWORK MULTIPLE TERMINALS
The Q5 can be operated as a single terminal system or a network of upto 16 terminals.

On a multi-terminal network, the master (first) terminal holds the shared database and allows consolidated reporting as well as reporting by individual terminal. Menu and price changes on the master terminal are instantly updated on all terminals / tablets in real-time. As the Q5 system is not cloud-based, performance is amazingly fast whether you have a single terminal or a network of 16 terminals all operating at the same time in a busy, fast-paced environment.

With the optional web-based SamTouchOffice back office app, you can virtually live monitor sales and takings from any PC or Tablet, either at the premises or remotely from anywhere in the world (internet connection is required for SamTouchOffice).

 TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR BUSINESS
The wealth of advanced capabilities make the Q5 totally flexible and scalable, allowing you to implement and benefit from its many features from the outset or as and when your business grows or your needs change. If you want faster transaction processing, improved customer service, tighter stock control, accurate sales and financial reporting or better security, the system configuration can be customised to match your current and ongoing needs.
