With restaurants looking to optimize in-house operations and increase customer satisfaction, Epson plans to showcase its enhanced hospitality technology solutions at the National Restaurant Association Show. Epson’s wide range of point-of-sale (POS), kitchen display system (KDS) and labeling solutions are designed to deliver high performance, reliability and speed – helping high-traffic restaurants reduce labor costs and boost operational efficiency with modern, customizable technology. Epson’s solutions will be on display from May 17-20 at the McCormick Place in Chicago in booth #7061.
“Attracting new clientele and improving current customer experiences continues to be at the forefront of concern for many food service professionals looking to keep a competitive edge,” said Ian Livesay, product manager, Business Systems Division, Epson America, Inc. “The ability to offer various dining experiences while maintaining kitchen efficiency and ordering accuracy is crucial for those researching new technologies to adopt. Booth visitors will have the chance to witness how Epson’s latest POS, KDS and labeling solutions support hospitality establishments in streamlining operations across both front and back-of-house functions and elevating dining experiences.”
Epson encourages attendees of the National Restaurant Association Show to explore the following innovations at its booth:
