The need to offer rapid and high-quality service to the customers while enabling easy guest management at restaurants is creating a pool of opportunities for market incumbents.

The industry is slowly making in-roads with the integration of technologies, such as cloud and artificial intelligence, with an aim to improve the existing ecosystem and help restaurants build an efficient work environment. The availability of these new technologies in one system helps restaurant operators to focus on their core competencies, thereby generating a profitable business output. Although the pandemic has hit the business negatively, an increase in demand for online orders is expected to favor the market growth over the next couple of years. Apart from restaurants, the industry is also expected to garner substantial profits from industries, such as retail and hospitality. The need for contactless payment options in the current scenario will play a vital role in driving POS software demand in the near future.
