Restaurant POS systems and related apps should also offer customers the opportunity to make reservations online, whether for in-house dining or curbside pickup, which is likely to remain popular beyond the pandemic.

A good POS system will also be able to monitor online reservations and table turns, ensuring that restaurants continue to operate within any capacity limits imposed by the authorities.

And this feature will remain important even after these restrictions are lifted, as it allows outlets to operate at maximum efficiency.
