What does a POS or internet outage cost your restaurant?

When the internet drops, so does card processing, online orders, and the kitchen display. Enter a few numbers to see your estimated yearly loss.

Example: $800/hour in sales, a 2-hour outage 9 times a year, with 80% of the business stopping, is about $11,520 in estimated annual loss.
