By official order, all catering establishments are closed, only shops selling food and businesses with delivery or pick-up service are currently open. For many of our clients this means that all running costs have to be met without any income. Government subsidies can help here. Tax consultants can certainly provide more competent information on this than a manufacturer of cash register systems. Interesting information can be found here from the DEHOGA association. But there are also functions on the cash register side that can help gastronomic businesses to generate sales or increase liquidity even in times of the Corona crisis.

1.) Delivery service and collection
Off-premise food sales are also allowed in the Corona Crisis. The bluepos® supports this function optimally: Already in the basic license an extensive customer management with the search for name, customer number and telephone number is included.

2.) Voucher sales
In the current situation, every additional euro raised helps to cover the running costs of leases, salaries, etc. Many regular customers would like to stand by their favorite restaurant, and are willing to help the restaurant through this difficult time by purchasing gift certificates. By selling vouchers, every restaurateur can initially increase his liquidity. The bluepos® software supports the user in an optimal way: The optional function of the voucher management makes the issue and redemption of vouchers a child’s play.
