Handheld Point of Service POS Systems

Radiant System’s featured application, ALOHA, was the original hospitality POS system to be designed for Microsoft Windows. It remains the “poster child” in the POS world for open, non-proprietary software. As such, Aloha runs on a variety of mobile POS platforms, including tablet terminals, Symbol handhelds, and the industry-specific Orderman handheld.  

The Aloha Tablet Terminal offers a larger 8 inch screen and long-life battery, Intel processor, a roomy hard drive. USB ports offer easy communication to peripherals like a belt printer. It provides the server with the same look and feel as a typical Aloha terminal but can easily be carried with one hand. With this wireless unit, customers can be served from anywhere in your establishment.

The ruggedized Orderman handheld is the only handheld terminal specifically designed to serve the demanding hospitality industry. The Orderman utilizes radio transmission to make it hacker-safe and increase transmission distance. It is water-proof and can take the hard bumps! Key features include…

• Lightweight 9.2 ounce handheld
• Integrated credit card reader
• Visible in bright sunlight
• Customized handheld interface and order shortcuts
• 10-12 hour battery life in the restaurant
• Quickly recharge batteries in 1 hour
• Restarts in 3 seconds, right where the order left off
• Bluetooth interface to a belt printer

Handheld technology is the wave of the future. It improves speed of service, increases sales, speeds table turns, allows access to remote service locations, and increases kitchen productivity. Restaurants that utilize handhelds have also reported a reduction in shrink and an increase in average ticket. Moreover, it provides built in Pay at Table credit card security.
