Increasing Demand for Cloud POS: Key catalyst

POS systems are being increasingly leveraged by businesses especially restaurants and retail stores as these perform numerous tasks apart from processing payment like inventory and personnel management, along with sales and customer data analysis.

The coronavirus induced shelter-in-place guidelines has given more boost to digital commerce including online ordering and delivery of food items. Moreover, shifting customer preferences toward cashless transactions along with increasing need for additional payment choices is driving demand for POS systems.

As a result, restaurants are scrambling to overhaul digital experience for patrons and drive revenue growth amid slackened conventional business prospects.

Per a Grand View Research report, the global restaurant POS terminals’ market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.8% between 2020 and 2027. The cloud segment is forecast to expand at the highest CAGR over the projected period.

Per Mordor Intelligence report, cloud POS market is projected to witness a CAGR of 24.2% between 2020 and 2025. Cloud POS systems store data over cloud and simplify the software maintenance/ upgradation issues while proving cost-efficient at the same time. Increased scalability is also driving the rapid uptake of cloud POS especially in verticals where end-user management is of paramount importance like hospitality, retail and media, added the report.

We believe improved spending by restaurateurs on digitally transforming their business processes, will augment adoption of the Oracle’s restaurant POS solutions, which is a positive for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company.

The company’s cloud-based restaurant POS solutions offer restaurateurs simplified management of restaurant operations by streamlining inventory and marketing practices along with computerizing everyday tasks.
