POSitouch works to expedite Quick Service chain restaurants

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

With the economy in a fragile condition, there is a shift occurring between casual restaurants and quick service restaurant chains.  Casual and high-end restaurants are reporting losses, while quick service restaurants are reporting the opposite.  Quick service restaurant POS systems are the solution to effortlessly managing the dramatic increase in business.

The reason for these findings is that patrons are opting to spend less, and cut out perks they deem excessive, such as tipping a server.  For this reason, people are opting in increasing numbers to frequent quick service establishments at a higher frequency than fine and casual dining restaurants.

With the added traffic to the already fast-paced quick service industry, it is indispensable to ensure that your quick service pos system is working for you, with the most cutting edge technology available in the industry today.  POSitouch restaurant POS systems are ideal for the needs of a fast-paced quick service industry, and provided conveniently by Pinnacle Hospitality Systems.

Mobile food safety through a restaurant POS system

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Food safety and quality is absolutely critical to any restaurant or hospitality-based business, and is required by law to be implemented.  An ideal solution to monitor the safety of the food served in your hospitality-based business is to adopt Hand Held Terminals equipped with Temp Probe.

Pinnacle Hospitality Systems can show you how you can improve the process of data collection, dramatically improve associate efficiency, and easily access labor scheduling information with a hand held terminal for your restaurant POS system.  A mobile restaurant POS terminal integrates test results automatically, with back end systems in place to alert when problems are detected.  A hand held POS device dramatically improves associate efficiency by eliminating common issues such as employees having to wait in line to use a touch screen monitor, and having to re-visit a table if an item is 86-ed.

Customers love the speedy service, quality items and flawless efficiency provided by a mobile POS device.  The device also enables a manager to be on the store floor rather than in the office, which also works to increase associate productivity.  The system is also complete with management alerts from POS.store reporting, such as inventory status reports.  Updated inventory and other reports are a measure to ensure food quality and safety within your hospitality based business.
