The Northstar Restaurant POS is what we use to run all Point-of-Sale operations in our club. We use it in the main restaurant and bar, the banquet bar, our on-course bar and beverage cart, and at the pool. This product allows us to use the same system for all of our Point-of-sale needs, allowing us to cross-utilize employees in different areas on the same system.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Very Customizable
Allows for a large number of items to be added
Same system can be used at multiple locations

Things done well

Once an item is in the system it cannot be removed
Can be complicated on the back end if prices need adjusted
If you have a large customized menu, the tableside POS does function properly

Things done poorly

The Northstar Restaurant POS is the POS system specifically designed for Country Clubs.  It works well in a Country Club scenario where things need to be customized to member preferences, and there are a large number of menu items.  If there is a restaurant where the menu is simpler, without as much customization needed, the Northstar Restaurant POS may be a bit too large and cumbersome.  The Northstar Restaurant POS is good for detail but not necessarily speed.

Large number of menu items can be added and stored
Menus can be built to customize orders based on individual preferences
System will remember items a customer orders and put them on frequent orders list

Most Important Features 3.4.21

Northstar Restaurant POS has allowed us to track sales items, remove poor sellers, and add new items to keep our menu fresh.
We are able to easily adjust pricing to reflect current market trends.
We are able to do a mass price adjustment to our entire menu if necessary.

Return on Investment

I have not used any other restaurant POS systems.  I have heard there are more robust restaurant POS systems available; however, very few of them are so customizable for our needs.  Being a Country Club, our focus is on member service.  Northstar Restaurant POS allows us to have a large number of menu items available so we can serve our members effectively.
