Helping the NHS Unlock the Benefits of Modern EPoS Solution
Hospitals are revolutionising catering services for staff and visitors by taking a closer look at the full potential of Electronic Point of Sale (EPoS) solutions.
Hospital catering teams can boost efficiency, minimise waste, and elevate the dining experience for staff and visitors by fully utilising EPoS technology.
With a feature rich EPoS system, hospitals can streamline operations, improve service efficiency, and optimise costs, ensuring a seamless and enhanced dining experience.
“Uniware’s expertise and consultative approach have been instrumental in streamlining our catering operations. The introduction of an integrated till and payment solution has not only improved transactional accuracy but also reduced payment errors. As a result, we’ve seen measurable improvements in efficiency and profitability across our sites.”

How Can EPoS Help Hospital Catering?
1. Integrated Till and Payment System
An integrated till and payment system streamlines transaction processing, ensuring faster and more accurate checkouts. By reducing human errors and inefficiencies, hospitals can maximise revenue while improving customer satisfaction. This system also supports multiple payment options, including contactless and mobile payments, creating a smoother experience for staff, patients, and visitors
2. Order Ahead Convenience
A dedicated menu app allows busy hospital staff to pre-order meals, ensuring they can enjoy nutritious food without wasting time in queues. This feature is especially valuable for healthcare professionals with limited break times, enabling them to plan meals in advance and avoid the frustration of unavailable options. Pre-ordering also helps catering teams manage demand more effectively, reducing food waste and improving service efficiency.
3. Transparent Nutritional Information
Digital menus provide real-time access to detailed nutritional, allergen, and carbon footprint information for all meal options. This empowers hospital staff and visitors to make informed dietary choices that align with their health needs and sustainability goals. With clear labeling and easy-to-access data, hospitals can support dietary restrictions, improve patient nutrition, and promote a more eco-conscious dining culture.
4. Staff Wellness Incentives
Hospitals can encourage healthier eating habits among employees by offering meal rewards and wellness incentives through the EPoS system. These tools allow organisations to implement subsidy programs, discounts on nutritious meals, or point-based reward systems that motivate staff to choose healthier options. By promoting employee wellbeing, hospitals can improve staff morale, energy levels, and overall workplace productivity.
5. Advanced Suite of Reports
A powerful analytics suite provides hospital catering teams with deep insights into sales trends, customer preferences, and operational efficiencies. By leveraging real-time and historical data, hospitals can make informed decisions to optimise menu offerings, manage stock levels effectively, and reduce food waste. This data-driven approach not only improves service quality but also ensures cost-effective operations and long-term sustainability for hospital catering services.
With over 30 years of experience, Uniware continues to develop and refine its EPoS solution to meet the unique demands of hospital catering.
