"By programming in iOS you are requiring companies to purchase expensive mac products to run your POS rather than inexpensive PC products."
Lame. There will be a market for iOS/OS X POS because there are people who prefer them to "PC" products. If a restaurant owner wants the $299 Dell rather than pay a bit more for a Mac/iOS device, they probably aren't a customer he'll want anyway.
- wdewind 15y agoLame. Most restaurant owners already have a POS system, and it likely runs on Windows. You are asking them not only to overhaul their business processes, you are asking them to now go out and buy a $500 tablet per server. There are real cost barriers here, and since this app's UI is not absolutely stunning he's not going to capture that extreme of the market either.
- refulgentis 15y agoI'm not. The app has multiuser functionality. Instead of paying $1000-$2000 per terminal, I'm asking them to pay $1500 ($1000 for the app; $500 for the iPad), and $500 for any subsequent iPad terminal. Compared to standard prices, it's a steal.
- YooLi 15y agoOh right, I forgot all restaurants have already been opened and no new ones need POS systems. And they all want the cheapest method to handle one of the most important factors of their business, the money handling.
