Today, the Point of Sale systems are not only used in shopping areas but also in various types of businesses such as restaurants and other companies that deliver all sorts of services. For instance, fast food chains are known to use the Point of Sale system in order for them to deliver all their products in a very fast pace. Customers would not be congested in lines and there would be lesser waiting time compared to traditional restaurants which utilizes paper and pen trading. Traditional trading involves the use of pen and paper wherein the waiters would take orders from customers and then pass the orders to chefs. Since there would be a lot of orders especially in regular days, customers would need to wait for at least 15 minutes to order their food. However, with the use of the Point of Sale systems, taking orders would be faster since the list of orders would automatically be transmitted to the kitchen as well as to the cashier leaving the waiter to take more orders from other customers. In shopping centers, sales personnel would also be able to use the POS system in order to increase their sales since the list of products is already connected to the cashier's machine and the employees would only need to send the list of products to the cashier.
