Breadcrumb App Update Expedites Operations for Restaurant & Bars

Today Breadcrumb unveiled Breadcrumb 1.2, an upgrade to its iPad point-of-sale (POS) service for restaurants, bars and cafes. Breadcrumb 1.2 makes daily operation faster and easier for servers, bartenders and managers, boasting features shaped by conversations with hundreds of merchants and insights from millions of restaurant, bar, and café transactions.

Unlike users of outdated POS systems, who are saddled with infrequent, costly and complex updates, customers using Breadcrumb's restaurant POS benefit from free, frequent, and seamless upgrades.

Highlights of Breadcrumb 1.2 include:

• Smart swipe: swiping a credit card automatically opens a tab in the cardholder's name, recalls an open tab or processes payment - without having to type in more information or navigate extra steps
• Quicker PIN-based access to terminals with fewer keystrokes
• Simpler process for complex charges: Breadcrumb makes it easy to split a balance evenly across a number of cards, or across a combination of cash and cards
• Rapid order entry, including new single-touch order modifications for customizations such as cooking temperature

"Every day, thousands of customers get their food or beverages quickly and seamlessly thanks to Breadcrumb. Each order is an opportunity for us to learn and evolve," said Seth Harris, founder, Breadcrumb. "Breadcrumb 1.2 was driven by our merchants' real world experiences, and it offers a faster and easier dining experience for them and their customers."
