Accessible back office

The best thing about this feature is that it does not require your presence in the physical office; you can access and run your back office from anywhere; Future's point of sale system is cloud-based, which can give you your well-deserved operational freedom from any device (smartphone, tablet, or laptop) from anywhere. With this feature, you can find any report, maintenance, or product in your inventory with all the advanced search features.
 

Advanced front page setup

You can customize the front of the house for your business' point of sale. With your custom settings, you can streamline all processes instead of having to do every single task manually; this way, you save your employees time and effort and help them focus their energy on what really matters for the growth of your business.
 

Kitchen video display unit

You can use Future POS' Video Display Unit to quickly and easily fulfill orders. This feature will also help you cut back on using paper, by using the display unit instead of using a remote printer. 

With this display screen, you can easily display orders to the kitchen staff right away, along with instructions about a certain order to make sure an order is prepared in the right way.
 

Custom reports

Usually, most POS systems come with pre-set reports regarding certain aspects. However, this is not the case for Future POS; this point of sale system allows you to customize your reports by either building them from scratch or editing a pre-made template.

You can also connect and link all reports together for summaries. And you can put all of your reports on display on the dashboard for easy access.
 

Mobile POS

This feature is one of the best features offered by Future POS. With the mobile feature, you get to easily accept sales on the go; it is compatible with a 3G and 4G SIM, which means you can use your cellular data to connect and use the POS. 

You can choose and customize the user interface to your liking. You can choose a template and modify it according to your business and your preferences.
 

Surveillance

Future POS offers surveillance by inserting a webcam. With this webcam, you can keep track of what is happening in your restaurant in real-time, which will help you prevent fights, theft, fraud, and whatnot.
 

Future POS hardware

To be able to use Future POS software, you will need to use their hardware devices as well. This is because Future's point of sale software is not compatible with any device that is not made and sold by them or their regional dealers. 

This might be bad news for business owners who own iPads and tablets and want to use them for their POS. However, Future POS makes up for that by providing a wide range of hardware devices that offer every single feature you might need for your business. To get one or more of their hardware devices, you can buy them from Future POS directly or from one of their +80 regional dealers.

The hardware device options for Future POS are many; you can get a mobile POS platform, a tablet, or a fixed terminal. All of these devices have touchscreens and are great for streamlining processes. Other devices that you can use and connect to your POS hardware include caller IDs, scanners, scales, customer displays, liquor & coin dispensers, drive-thru menu boars, hotel property management systems, and more.
 

Future POS Pricing

Now let us move to the most important question; how much does Future POS cost?

After doing our research and talking to customers who have tried using Future's POS system, we came to the conclusion that their plans are paid for in a monthly subscription. Their prices generally range between $59 to $79 per terminal per month. 

Unfortunately, there is no info regarding the detailed pricing or packages and deals on the website. While this lack of info about prices could be a red flag, it could also mean that they simply do not have fixed prices for every customer; their prices and plans may vary according to every customer's situation and business needs. If this is the case, putting a standard quote for all customers on the website could be a difficult thing. 

Some companies don't post and advertise their plans and pricing because they want every customer to reach out and talk to their team so that they can evaluate their situation and recommend the best plans and prices for each person individually.

Since transparency in prices is very important, we recommend you keep this thing in mind before choosing to subscribe to Future POS. This is especially because there are many other POS systems on the market where you can see prices very clearly before subscribing. 
 

Customer Support

Future POS has a page dedicated to blogs and articles written about point of sale systems in general and Future's point of sale system and hardware devices in specific. In there, you can find so many articles that can answer almost every question you may have.

If you still can't find an answer to your question, you can contact Future's customer service at 800-285-9661. There is no info on the website about the hours of work, however. 

You can also reach out to their customer support team by filling out the contact form on their website and their team will contact you as soon as possible.
 

Final Verdict

Future POS is a well-established point of sale system company that is backed by more than 20 years of experience in providing small, medium, and large businesses with POS systems. 

Its lack of transparency when it comes to prices could be the only red flag about the company, but you could always reach out to their team to learn about the price of any plan or device you need.

It is worth mentioning that we have a long list of the best POS companies in the industry, most of which list their prices very clearly on the website.
