If you’re still updating your menu manually every time something runs out or prices change, you’re wasting time—and risking customer disappointment. One of the most powerful moves a restaurant can make in 2025 is integrating its point-of-sale (POS) system with its digital menu software.
The result? Real-time accuracy, faster updates, and less stress for your staff. In this guide, we’ll show you why POS integration matters, how it works, and how Evergreen makes it simple.
What Does POS Integration Actually Mean?
POS integration connects your digital menu software directly with your point-of-sale system. That means when you update an item in the POS (e.g., 86 an IPA or change the price of tacos), your digital displays reflect that change instantly—without manual edits.
This integration also unlocks automation that can:
Remove sold-out items from screens
Update prices across all locations
Sync inventory levels in real time
Trigger specials or upsell prompts based on sales data
Why It Matters More Than Ever
Today’s restaurant operations are fast-moving, inventory-heavy, and prone to human error. A synced system ensures:
Fewer guest complaints (“Why is this still on the menu if it’s not available?”)
Less staff burnout from repetitive tasks
More accurate menus across every screen, tablet, or web menu
Consistent pricing across POS and display boards
If you’re managing multiple screens, locations, or a constantly rotating menu (especially for beer or seasonal items), POS integration isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
