If you have been looking for creative methods to create more income in your hospitality-based business, you may have heard a lot of talk about restaurant POS systems in Florida.  Pinnacle Hospitality Systems concentrates on providing the best tools for the hospitality industry to dramatically increase bottom-line profits and streamline daily operations with restaurant POS software and hardware.

Don’t let the products you depend on to operate your business work against you!  Implementing a restaurant POS strategy designed specifically for your company by Pinnacle Hospitality Systems will put the financial and daily goals of your restaurant well within your grasp.  Contact Pinnacle Hospitality Systems today and ask how we can transform disconnected, unorganized operations into integrated, organized and connected restaurants that succeed!

Don’t Risk Your Future to a Hacker-PCI Compliance Protects Your Business

In the hospitality industry, what you do not know CAN hurt you.  For this reason, it is vital to be familiar with current PCI Compliance standards and to adhere to them-they are in place to protect you!

One of the most common forms of theft is the practice of hacking into retail systems.  Your restaurant most likely implements a POS (point of sale) system to streamline business operational functions, and if your restaurant POS system is not operating in accordance with current PCI Compliance standards, you are putting yourself at risk to lose money to hackers.  You may not even be aware that your establishment is at risk, but you may be storing sensitive data that is obtainable by a thrifty hacker.

It is important to communicate with your restaurant POS provider to verify that your POS systems are not storing sensitive data.  Hackers have the ability to obtain magnetic stripe coded data, often selling it over the internet to the highest bidder.  This is a continuous issue, as retailers themselves are often unaware that they are storing sensitive data in their POS systems. 

It is also imperative that you ensure that your credit card printer is not printing the credit card numbers of your customers.  A stunning figure is that 60% of consumers will not revisit the business where the theft originated.  If you have any questions about your restaurant POS system security, or would like to learn more, call 800-771-7100 today or visit http://www.pinnaclehs.com today.
