Understanding International Restaurant Expansion Challenges

Powering International Growth: How POS Device Empowers Restaurants to Expand Internationally

How the Right POS can Accelerate International Restaurant Expansion

With the rise of globalization and a diverse customer base, restaurants now have unprecedented opportunities to tap into new markets. Many restaurant owners aspire for an international brand but struggle to navigate these complexities of expansion effectively.

Expanding internationally unlocks massive opportunity for untapped revenue, but it requires tackling new tasks and overcoming challenges such as language barriers, currency differences, adherence to local laws and regulations, and aligning with customer preferences. Choosing the right technology to support your international expansion can feel overwhelming. However, when a restaurant chooses the right solution, it is one less thing to worry about. PixelPoint POS is designed to seamlessly scale internationally, making expansion as smooth as it is domestically. With over 40 markets served and a track record of successfully scaling multiple brands internationally, PixelPoint POS is the trusted choice.

So, how does PixelPoint POS enable international expansion? Here are the key features it offers:

• Localization in the market of your choosing: Aka: the language, currency, and applicable local laws. A POS system capable of expansion into international markets must offer multi-language support for menus, receipts, and customer communication, ensuring a seamless experience for international guests. It should also handle different currencies, facilitating transactions and eliminating conversion challenges. PixelPoint POS ensures localization in a brand’s desired market by supporting the local language, currency, and complying with applicable laws and regulations. The system provides multi-language support for menus, receipts, and customer communication, delivering a seamless experience for international customers. Additionally, PixelPoint POS adheres to local tax, privacy, and restaurant industry laws, allowing you to meet all necessary requirements effortlessly.

PixelPoint is localized in over 40 markets, including countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia and the Pacific Islands.

• Integration with Third-Party Services: A supplemental part of the localization component—the technological landscape looks different in every market. This spans from how people order, pay for their meal, and even loyalty and customer engagement. A versatile POS system should integrate with popular international services such as online ordering platforms, delivery platforms, online reservation systems, payment gateways, and loyalty providers. This integration enhances the reach and convenience for customers and facilitates smooth operations across different markets. With over 30 integrations, and more being built constantly, PixelPoint enables its brands flexibility and support to integrate to the technology of its choice in each market.
• Centralized Data Management: For restaurants with multiple locations across different geographies, PixelPoint POS enables brands to analyze sales, inventory, and customer data across each location and collectively as a whole with its Head Office Application (HO). By gaining insights into international market trends, customer preferences, and operational performance, brands can make informed decisions to drive success. Whether it’s menu adjustments, promotions, pricing, or more, PixelPoint POS’s highly configurable HO empowers brands to manage menus, prices, and labor seamlessly across multiple locations.
• Scalability and Reporting: As a brand expands internationally, it needs a POS system that can scale to accommodate different needs. PixelPoint POS offers comprehensive reporting capabilities, allowing brands to track key performance indicators, monitor profitability, and identify areas for improvement in each international location. With the PixelPoint POS Headquarters (HQ) product, brands gain access to sales, inventory, and hourly labor tracking through the store portal, empowering them to make data-driven decisions and optimize operations.
