Running a restaurant isn’t only about serving good food — it’s about serving it efficiently. In today’s fast-paced dining world, long wait times, slow checkouts, and bottlenecks can hurt both guest satisfaction and profitability.

That’s why more and more operators are adopting mobile POS (mPOS). By putting ordering and payments directly in the hands of staff, restaurants are reporting up to 50% faster service. For resellers, this is an opportunity to bring a proven, revenue-boosting solution to your clients.

💡 What is mPOS?

mPOS (mobile point of sale) is a handheld POS system — usually a tablet or dedicated terminal — that allows staff to take orders, process payments, and even manage transactions anywhere in the restaurant. Unlike traditional POS systems that are fixed to a counter, mPOS moves with your team: to the table, into the line, outside on the patio, or even on delivery runs.

In other words, mPOS untethers your service from the counter and gives staff the flexibility to serve guests wherever they are.

🏪 What Type of Businesses Should Use mPOS?

While restaurants are the largest adopters, the use cases for mPOS go well beyond foodservice:

• Full-Service Restaurants (FSRs): Speed up table turns, improve server tips, and make payments seamless.
• Quick-Service Restaurants (QSRs): Line-busting during peak hours keeps queues short and customers happy.
• Cafés and Coffee Shops: Manage morning rushes efficiently with faster ordering and payments.
• Bars and Breweries: Tableside pay reduces abandoned tabs and helps staff serve more.
• Food Trucks & Pop-Ups: Lightweight devices make selling anywhere possible.
• Small Retail Stores: Boutique and convenience shops can check out customers faster.
• Service Providers: Plumbers, electricians, and home-service professionals can accept card payments on-site via mPOS.
• Event Vendors: Merchants at fairs, festivals, and stadiums can process high volumes quickly.
• Delivery Services: Couriers can collect payments on mPOS at the customer’s doorstep.

For resellers, this wide applicability opens multiple verticals, but restaurants remain the highest-value segment where the impact of mPOS is most visible.

🍴 Benefits of Using mPOS in Restaurants

From faster service to happier guests, mPOS brings measurable improvements across every corner of your restaurant.

1. Faster Service: No more trips back and forth to a counter. Orders and payments happen where the guests are, shaving minutes off every transaction.
   
2. Better Guest Experience: Guests don’t want to wait for checks or stand in long queues. mPOS aligns with modern expectations of speed and convenience.
   
3. Higher Revenue Potential: More table turns = more covers. Faster service during rush hours means you don’t lose customers to long waits.
   
4. Improved Staff Efficiency: Servers spend less time walking, more time engaging with guests. That translates into higher tips and better morale.
   
5. Scalable Growth: As your business grows, adding more handheld devices is much cheaper than expanding traditional POS terminals.

📈 How mPOS Improves Restaurant Operations

mPOS isn’t just about speed — it makes day-to-day operations more reliable. By sending orders straight to the kitchen, accuracy improves. With fewer errors, voids, and remakes, restaurants cut down on food waste and costs, while staff stay focused on guests instead of terminals. The result: smoother service, happier customers, and better margins.

mPOS vs Traditional POS: A  Quick Comparison 📊

While traditional POS systems have been the norm for years, mPOS offers a more flexible and efficient alternative, particularly for a restaurant business. See how the two compare:

How to Cut Wait Times by up to 50% with mPOS

Getting a 50% reduction in wait times isn’t about luck — it’s about planning how mPOS fits into your operations. Here’s how restaurants make it happen:

1. Map your bottlenecks: Start by timing your guest journey: greeting, order-taking, drinks, food delivery, payment. You’ll quickly see where the minutes are being lost. In many restaurants, the biggest delays are at the ordering stage and during payment.

2. Deploy handhelds strategically: Don’t just hand every staff member a device. Assign handhelds to where they’ll have the most impact: one in the line during lunch rush, one for patio service, and others for tableside orders. This ensures maximum coverage during busy times.

3. Make pay-at-table the default: Most delays in full-service restaurants happen when waiting for the check to be processed. With mPOS, servers can present the bill, accept tap/chip/wallet payments, and close the check in under a minute — all at the table. This alone can cut meal times by over 10%.

4. Simplify ordering with smart menus: Use mPOS to enforce required modifiers and set up smart defaults. This reduces ordering errors and prevents kitchen confusion. Fewer mistakes mean smoother operations and faster ticket times.

5. Track and optimize continuously: Implement mPOS with clear metrics in mind: average ticket time, % of pay-at-table transactions, table turns per shift, and guest feedback. Share wins with your staff — when servers see they can serve more tables (and earn more tips), adoption skyrockets.

Following these steps, many restaurants report consistent gains of 15–25% faster service within weeks of implementation.

Every November, right between the chaos of Black Friday and the click-frenzy of Cyber Monday, comes a quieter revolution: Small Business Saturday (SBS).

What started as a simple idea in 2010 — encouraging shoppers to support their neighborhood stores — has now grown into a $17 billion movement that fuels local economies and strengthens communities.

At OneHubPOS, we work with small businesses every single day. But SBS is a reminder that when you shop small, you’re doing something much bigger.

What is Small Business Saturday?

Launched by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is all about choosing local over large chains. It falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and shines a spotlight on independently owned shops, cafés, restaurants, and service providers.

From the very first year — when 103 million shoppers took part — to today, the numbers have only grown. In 2023 alone, Americans spent an incredible $17 billion in local businesses on SBS.

A Quick Look Back: How Small Business Saturday Took Off?

Over the years, Small Business Saturday has gone from a spark to a movement that fuels billions in spending. What began in 2010 as a boost for small businesses has since seen explosive growth, national recognition, and resilience—even during the pandemic.

Why It Matters?

For decades, holiday shopping meant big-box stores and global e-commerce giants. Small businesses often got drowned out. SBS changed that — it gave local owners a platform and reminded shoppers that every latte, gift, or meal bought locally keeps money in the community.

But here’s the best part: Small Business Saturday isn’t just one day anymore.

It’s become a year-round mindset, fueled by:

• Social media buzz – Shoppers proudly post their finds with #ShopSmall.
  
• E-commerce tools – Local charm now reaches national audiences online.
  
• Digital payments & cloud POS – Helping small shops compete with the big players.
  
  

During 2020 alone, small businesses reported a 300% spike in online sales over the SBS weekend. That’s proof of resilience, agility, and community support.

Beyond Shopping: The Ripple Effect

When you shop small, you’re not just buying a product, you’re fueling a ripple effect:

✨ Local jobs – Every dollar spent helps keep neighbors employed.
✨ Neighborhood revival – Thriving shops bring life back to communities.
✨ Innovation & creativity – Small businesses are where big ideas are born.
✨ Sustainable choices – Local sourcing means lower carbon footprints.

5 Ways to Make the Most of Small Business Saturday 2025

1. Plan ahead – Make a list of local shops you want to visit.
   
2. Shop & share – Post your purchases with #ShopSmall to spread the love.
   
3. Think beyond retail – Book services, grab takeout, or buy gift cards.
   
4. Leave a review – A five-star rating can do wonders for a local business.
   
5. Keep it going – Support small businesses year-round, not just one day.

Because when you shop small, you help build something big: stronger communities, thriving neighborhoods, and a future where local businesses shine.

Running a small business like a restaurant, liquor store, or retail shop means juggling a hundred moving parts — staff, customers, inventory, and payments. At the center of it all is your POS system– to make your life easier. Period.

The problem? Most POS systems don’t. They are all rigid, expensive and rarely reflect your business’s identity.

The Problem With Most POS Systems

Most small businesses start with what’s readily available: a POS system bundled with a payment provider offered by a well-known vendor. These systems are quick to set up and take care of the basics like ringing up sales, processing payments, and printing receipts.

But they also come with built-in limitations:

• Your brand takes a backseat — the vendor’s name shows up on receipts, apps, and loyalty programs.
  
• Customization is minimal, so you end up bending your business to fit the software instead of the other way around.
  
• Scaling becomes painful as your needs change.
  

Some larger brands avoid this by building their own custom POS systems. That gives them control, but it also costs a fortune and takes months, or years, to develop. For most restaurants and liquor stores, that’s not a realistic option.

What Exactly Is a White Label POS System?

Think of a white label POS as the best of both worlds. It works right out of the box like a vendor-branded POS, but still gives you the flexibility of a custom system, without the high costs or long wait.

That means:

• Receipts that carry your logo, turning every transaction into a brand touchpoint.
• Customer screens in your colors, giving shoppers a seamless and consistent experience.
• Loyalty programs and promotions under your name, keeping customers connected to your business.

To your customers, it feels like your business built its own technology. Behind the scenes, it’s proven, reliable software designed to grow with you.

Why White Label POS Is Gaining Ground

Cloud-based POS systems have already become the norm. The next step is ownership — businesses want technology that feels like their own. That’s why more restaurants and liquor stores are choosing a white label POS in 2025. It combines:

• Speed and simplicity of vendor-branded POS.
• Control and flexibility of custom-built solutions.
• Pricing that actually works for small businesses.

With a white label POS, you don’t have to settle for cookie-cutter software or spend a fortune building your own.

White Label POS vs Vendor-branded POS vs Custom-built POS: A Quick Comparison

Real-World Impact

Restaurant chain boosts revenue by 25%

A multi-location restaurant chain rolled out a white label POS to unify operations and put its brand front and center. Within a year, the system drove a 25% increase in revenue, thanks to branded loyalty programs, centralized reporting, and a smoother customer experience that kept diners coming back.

Franchise network achieves 18% sales growth

A nationwide franchise network adopted a white label POS to maintain consistent branding and streamline day-to-day operations across all outlets. The result was an 18% jump in sales, with franchisees benefiting from both improved efficiency and stronger brand cohesion.

Retail group lifts repeat purchases by 20%

A retail group integrated a white label POS with customizable loyalty features and CRM tools. This upgrade created more personalized promotions and customer touchpoints, leading to a 20% boost in repeat purchases and measurable improvements in long-term customer engagement.

How to Pick the Right White Label POS?

Not every provider gives you the same level of control. Before choosing a white label POS, ask:

• Can I put my branding on every customer touchpoint? 
• Does it integrate with tools I already use, like payments, accounting or delivery apps?
  
• How easy will onboarding and support be for my team?
  
• Are the costs transparent, with no hidden fees?
  
• Is there a roadmap for future features like kiosks, e-commerce, and advanced analytics?
  

A true white label POS should feel like it belongs entirely to your business.
