What is a Panasonic toughbook?

Tablet Point of Sale (POS) is the next level of technology that adds mobility and enhances traditional point-of-sale benefits in all types of businesses. However, for maximum benefit, you should choose a rugged tablet specifically designed for the harshest conditions in a commercial environment rather than a consumer model. Panasonic toughbooks are more resistant to dust, liquids, extreme temperatures, and accidental drops on hard floors. Tablet POS can optimize operational efficiency, allowing employees to work more efficiently and improve the customer experience.

Global Benefits of IPAD POS Alternatives

Personally designed tablets cannot withstand the wear that occurs routinely in store, restaurant, and warehouse settings. A rugged tablet has several design advantages.

Drop resistance

No matter how careful you are, slipping out of a warehouse worker's hand or falling off a restaurant table or store counter, the tablet will eventually fall to the floor. The best Panasonic Toughbook is built with enhanced shock protection and shows a drop speed that can withstand a fall.

Water resistance and dust resistance

Drops can include drops into liquids (such as sinks and puddles), and spills and vapours are common, especially in restaurants. And there is no completely dust-free environment. Consumer tablets do not have a protective seal to prevent moisture and particles from entering and causing damage.

Ability to adapt to multiple applications

Panasonic toughbooks are used for more than just basic transactional functions and processing various types of payments. Other tasks include providing product and inventory information to staff, expediting restaurant orders, and collecting customer data (such as purchase history) for targeted marketing or loyalty reward programs. Consumer tablets usually do not have enough random access memory (RAM) or processing power to handle such multitasking. But rugged tablets do.

Peripherals and preparation for the future

Unlike consumer tablets, the rugged model for business use is designed to easily incorporate and accommodate the various peripherals needed for additional functionality.

How TABLET POS Helps Restaurants

Adding mobility to point-of-sale with a rugged tablet brings several benefits to restaurants of all kinds.

Order next to the table

Orders are sent to the kitchen immediately, reducing preparation time and greatly reducing the chance of error.

Table payment

Payment transactions made at the table are much faster than waiting for the server to execute an invoice from a fixed terminal. As the speed increases, the table changes more per shift. In other words, you will have more income and tips. You will also feel safer because you will never forget your credit or debit card.

Newline

Don't let long lines and wait times convince your customers to take your business elsewhere. Employees equipped with tablets can get out of the back of the counter, take orders and move down the line, speeding up services and increasing throughput.

Self-service

A best Panasonic Toughbook configured as a self-service kiosk is another way to break the line. Also, at kiosks and tables, customers who order themselves tend to browse menus more comfortably and order more food without putting pressure on the waiting server. On some tablets, customers may be able to book themselves for future visits, facilitating repeat business.
