How to Determine if Restaurants Use a Specific POS System

·

Is there a way to find out if restaurants are using a certain POS system? If so, how?

    Yes. But the restaurant will have to be big enough for it to have a digital footprint big enough to gather the data below: -If the restaurant offers online ordering, check the platform they use. Some POS systems have proprietary online ordering solutions. if a restaurant uses ToastTab for online orders, they probably use the Toast POS system. -Look at job listings for positions at the restaurant. Job descriptions will mention the POS system employees will use. -Search for current or former employees on LinkedIn. Their profiles may mention experience with specific POS systems used at the restaurant. -You can always find these directly on the POS provider's case studies/success stories pages. Sometimes really big lists! Like here. -And of course, if theyre big enough like a restaurant chain, they'll prolly be on BuiltWith. Dvin M.

    Adnan M. Dan K. thank you! For context, I’m working with a POS system company that’s is looking to automate their outbound strategy and get into more restaurants. I’m likely to use a mixture of clay, smartlead, etc to get in front of those companies. Do you guys have any other recommendations on specific filters from within clay or another software I should use that can help?

    Dvin M. I dabbled with this, what kind of filter are you looking to use? I did restaurant type (dine-in, takeout), number of locations and specialty (to send relevant pizza restaurant case studies to pizza restaurants etc,)

    Mark M. the takeout option would be good actually didn’t think of it! Wondering if there’s an option for a drive through as well. To give you some context, I’m working with a POS system company and I want to target new restaurants that are due to open within a few weeks to 3 months out since that’s when they’re considering purchasing a POS system. Is there a way to extract that data from the web or Clay? Ideally, these businesses usually look for a POS system after their county health permits are approved. If you have another strategy that you think could work please let me know I’m open to ideas
