Every business operates differently. The technology behind it should, too.

At Essential Systems Solutions, we start by understanding your business, how you operate, what you need and where you want to go. From there, we recommend solutions that make sense for you, not simply what works for someone else.

From point of sale and payments to merchant services and beyond, it’s about finding the right fit for your business today while keeping tomorrow in mind.

Listen first. Recommend second. Support always.

The numbers behind the menu can tell you a lot about your business. 🍽️

Knowing what’s selling is important. Understanding the inventory, costs, and trends behind those sales can give you an even clearer picture.

With inventory and food-costing solutions from ESS, restaurant operators can gain better visibility into the numbers that drive day-to-day decisions, from managing inventory and monitoring food costs to identifying sales trends and reducing waste.

Because the right technology shouldn’t just tell you what you sold. It should help you better understand your business.

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT | THE CRAB CLAW 🦀

For 61 years, The Crab Claw has been part of the fabric of St. Michaels and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, welcoming generations of families, visitors, and locals to its waterfront tables.

As The Crab Claw moves through its final season, we’re proud to recognize a business ESS has had the privilege of supporting for more than a decade.

Behind the scenes, their team relies on 8 terminals powered by EdgeServ POS , along with the service and support of Essential Systems Solutions to help keep a busy waterfront operation moving.

We’re grateful to have played a part in their story and proud of the relationship we’ve built along the way.

Here’s to an incredible 61 years, and thank you to The Crab Claw for trusting ESS. 🦀👏

Is your POS still working for your business?
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to your POS and payment technology. Understanding what you have, what you need and what you’re paying shouldn’t feel complicated.

Here are four questions worth asking:
1. What’s actually not working?
Slowdowns can come from hardware, network issues, configuration or outdated equipment. Understanding where the issue starts helps you make a more informed decision about what comes next.
2. What are you really paying?
Processing costs can include more than one rate or fee. Knowing what you’re paying and why gives you a clearer picture of your overall payment costs.
3. Can your system grow with you?
Your technology should support where your business is today and where you want to take it next, whether that means new locations, online ordering, integrations, loyalty or additional tools.
4. Are you getting the support you need?
The technology is important. Having knowledgeable people behind it who understand your business matters, too.

At ESS, we believe better decisions start with better information.
Understand your options. Know what makes sense for your business. And have the right people there to help you along the way.

At ESS, we're always looking for technology that solves real problems for the businesses we support. If multiple ordering platforms are creating unnecessary complexity in your restaurant, let's talk about whether KitchenHub could be a good fit.
