ShopKeep.com Releases Kitchen Printing Capability for iPad POS

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The ShopKeep.com iPad point of sale system now provides quick serve restaurants, coffee shops, retailers and other small businesses the ability to efficiently print orders from an iPad to the kitchen, barista, or other remote location.

Complete with the ability to pop a cash drawer, process credit cards and print customer receipts, ShopKeep iPad POS now prints orders to the kitchen. "By adding remote printing to our iPad product, we're adding a whole new level of efficiency and functionality for customers in restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, retail, and other businesses," says Jason Richelson, small business retailer and co-founder and CEO of ShopKeep.com. "At peak times, for example, employees can now take orders from customers waiting in line using an iPad, and using wireless printing merchants can instantly and efficiently relay orders to the kitchen or barista."

The ShopKeep iPad POS kitchen printing feature also includes Smart Memo modifiers, which allows cashiers to type notes such as "skim milk, one sugar" and prints a ticket to the remote printer in red ink. For quicker order entry, Smart Memo also utilizes sophisticated predictive text, suggesting previously used notes as orders are entered.

Linking an iPad running the ShopKeep Register to a wireless printer takes just seconds thanks to the app's built-in printer detection. The new kitchen printing features work with the Star Micronics  SP700 impact printer , which is available through the ShopKeep.com hardware site.

Existing ShopKeep iPad POS users can access these new features by simply updating their iPad app and new users can download the Shopkeep Register through iTunes or the iPad App Store. The full ShopKeep point of sale solution is available for an affordable monthly subscription of $50/month which also includes unlimited live support and unlimited immediate upgrades.

No other iPad POS system provides back end functionality comparable to the ShopKeep BackOffice. Providing inventory tracking, employee management, real-time reporting and more, ShopKeep is just as powerful as conventional POS systems costing thousands.
