KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market due to Restrictions Imposed

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with POS restaurant management system market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

With lockdowns, social distancing measures, and restrictions on indoor dining, many restaurants experienced reduced foot traffic and shifted towards delivery and takeout services. This might have led to a decreased demand for POS restaurant management system that catered primarily to in-house dining operations. Restaurants that had not yet adopted online ordering and delivery systems were forced to do so rapidly. Cloud-based POS systems that integrated with online platforms gained importance. Many POS vendors adapted by adding features to facilitate online ordering, contactless payments, and integration with third-party delivery services. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of contactless payment methods as customers and businesses alike sought to minimize physical contact. POS systems that supported various contactless payment options, such as mobile wallets and QR code payments, became more appealing. Restaurant owners needed to adhere to new health and safety guidelines, which included minimizing physical contact and managing occupancy limits. POS systems that could assist with table management, reservation systems, and real-time occupancy monitoring became crucial.

LATEST TRENDS

Cloud-Based Solutions to Fuel Market Growth

Cloud-based POS systems were gaining popularity due to their flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. This trend is likely to continue as more restaurants opt for cloud solutions that allow them to manage their operations from any location and device.

This trend enhances customer experience and streamlines the ordering process. POS restaurant management systems are increasingly being integrated with other restaurant management tools such as inventory management, customer relationship management (CRM), and accounting software. This integration helps restaurants streamline their operations and gain insights into customer behavior and preferences. As digital transactions became more common, the need for robust data security and compliance with regulations like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was a growing concern for restaurant owners. Restaurants were focusing on integrating online ordering and delivery platforms with their POS systems to handle both in-house dining and off-premises orders seamlessly.
