Handheld POS

Handheld POS, also known as mobile POS (mPOS), refers to portable point-of-sale systems that can be operated from a handheld device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or specialized handheld terminal. These systems offer the flexibility to conduct transactions and manage sales from anywhere within a store or even remotely. Handheld POS can be used to reduce checkout lines by processing payments at any location within the store, improving customer flow and reducing wait times.In restaurants and bars, handheld POS systems allow servers to take orders and payments at the table, streamlining service and increasing efficiency.They support various payment methods, including credit/debit card payments, mobile wallets, and contactless payments, often through the use of additional card reader accessories.Compared to traditional POS systems, handheld POS can be quicker and less expensive to deploy, as they often use devices that are already widely available.
