POS Chat - A Point of Sale App for Facebook Messenger
POS Chat allows your customers to view and order products directly from your Facebook Messenger page. It works from a Google Sheet of products or integrates directly with the SwiftPOS Point of Sale (POS) System.
Upon credit card payment, it sends the order directly into your POS system and updates the Google Sheet, which you can keep open on a tablet. If your POS system is down, the order is sent via SMS as a failsafe.
With the addition of an optional device, when an order arrives, a short bell is sounded and a blue light flashes to indicate an order has arrived. A reset button cancels the light. This device is handy to alert staff that an online order has arrived and to either check for it in the POS system or to enter it manually if not integrated with your POS System.
Point your camera at the QR Code or click on it for a live demo.
POS Chat can be used for selling any sort of product but a very popular use is as a Fast Food/Takeaway App supporting both pickup and delivery.
The delivery option uses Google Maps to work out distance to your venue when calculating if delivery is possible and cost.
When dining in, customers can use the app to order directly from their table using their phone or tablet, saving your staff time and perfect for COVID safe ordering!
