What does an electronic signature mean?
An electronic signature (also known as an E-signature) is the most popular form of capturing customers' or employees' digital signatures instead of traditional paper documents. Electronic signatures are widely used in the restaurant industry to take payment electronically, over the internet, for employee-related information and data, or for the digital signing of documents.
Usually, a POS terminal, tablet, smartphone, or online form is used to collect electronic signatures.
