Famous Alabama BBQ Chooses POSitouch

Full Moon Bar-B-Que has a history of delivering great Southern-style BBQ to its customers. The concept began with the Maluff brothers, David and Joe, who purchased the original restaurant in 1996 and have since expanded the chain to eight locations throughout Alabama. The family-owned restaurant continues to serve BBQ made in the time-honored, traditional way – with quality meats cooked slowly over a hickory wood-fired pit and spiced with Full Moon’s award-winning BBQ sauce.

The restaurant features a large menu selection of Bar-B-Que pork, chicken, Black Angus beef brisket, hickory smoked turkey, smoked pork links, ribs, catfish and dozens of trimmings including their famous Chow Chow, a spicy sweet relish that’s a staple in Southern kitchens. Full Moon’s Famous Slaw has been named “100 Things to Eat in Alabama Before You Die.” It’s no wonder the popular eatery has been featured in magazines like Bon Appétit and Southern Living! With homemade food served with a touch of true Southern hospitality, the award-winning Full Moon Bar-B-Que guarantees an enjoyable experience.

Full Moon takes customer service very seriously, and that is why the BBQ place has installed POSitouch restaurant point-of-sale systems. POSitouch is smart computer software that processes cash and credit card payments for the restaurant. Full Moon uses the restaurant POS system for its gift card program as well.

POSitouch restaurant POS helps Full Moon to increase its bottom line, ultimately deeming it the best investment a restaurant can make.

POSitouch Automates The Hospitality Industry

Strolling along Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, you’ll come across a charming art deco-style restaurant serving delicious Cuban cuisine – David’s Café. The story of David’s Café started 50 years ago when Alfredo Gonzalez left Cuba in pursuit of a better life in the US. He met his wife Maria Fanego, who shared the same passion for hospitality and the food industry. After opening a series of bars in New Jersey, the family moved to Miami Beach where they opened a little gem called David’s Café, right in the heart of South Beach. Their hard work paid off, and today, the restaurant continues its successful 33-year run.

David’s Café delights guests with authentic Cuban food like stuffed tostones rellenos, yucca frita, churrasco, Cuban sandwiches, fresh grilled fish and paella. The restaurant offers catering and is open 24 hours a day. Customer service is extremely important at David’s Café, so the owners invested in a POSitouch restaurant POS system that processes cash and credit card payments. Using the restaurant point-of-sale, servers can send orders to the kitchen electronically for faster preparation and delivery. The owners do all their inventory, accounting and work scheduling on the computer POS system. POSitouch helps to simplify the business functions of a restaurant.

POSitouch benefits all hospitality businesses and is currently used in casual dining, fine dining, nightclubs, bars, stadiums, arenas, bowling alleys, yogurt shops, hotels, country clubs and more.

CoCo Yogurt Chooses POSitouch

Frozen yogurt

Luis Hernandez, owner of CoCo Yogurt in Fort Lauderdale, Florida was on the search for the best restaurant POS system for his yogurt shop. He decided to switch to Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ POSitouch point-of-sale for its customer service, quality, experience and price.

“Pinnacle has helped our business by integrating the system of scale weighting of the product into the cash register where we can sell the product by the ounce,” says Luis Hernandez. All of CoCo Yogurt’s products are basically priced by weight, so the customer places the item on the scale and POSitouch restaurant POS integrates the transaction at checkout.

Pinnacle has increased profitability for CoCo Yogurt’s business by accounting for every product sold. By keeping track of every ounce sold, CoCo Yogurt is able to measure all sales to focus on loss prevention. At the end of the day, the cash drawer and credit card transactions are balanced to ensure proper accounting. As an added convenience, employees are able to clock in and out on the restaurant POS instead of having to use time cards, which also saves on costs.

Hernandez praises Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ reliable customer service and smooth installation every step of the way. “I would recommend Pinnacle to other businesses… This is Coco Yogurt’s first store. Without a system like this, it would be impossible to handle the flow of people coming in and out,” says Hernandez.

Pinnacle helped the restaurant increase revenue through inventory control, loss prevention, labor management and food cost analysis. From day one, Pinnacle has exceeded expectations with its 24-hour customer service. Rely on POSitouch to ensure accuracy of your sales and inventory!

POSitouch Helps an Alabama Local Favorite

Rosie’s Grill in Daphne, Alabama is a local’s favorite on the Eastern Shore. The eatery offers a homey, friendly feel with lots of character. Owner Harry Johnson traces his restaurant roots back to 1980, when he opened the now-legendary Winslow’s restaurant in Fairhope. Johnson then ran the Pelican Pointe Grille, and eventually took over the BlueGill restaurant in 1998. It was then that Harry Johnson wanted to move to higher ground and open an operation where he could showcase his recipes he’d learned over the years – and Rosie’s Grill was born, named after his long-time chef Mama Rose Garza and her daughter Rosalinda.  “It’s like we’re coming back full circle after 30 years,” Johnson said in an interview with Alabama Live.

Although Rosie’s Grill is a relatively new restaurant, its ambiance and menu carry years of local history. For example, the eatery serves up Johnson’s famous “Garbage Burger” with a mountain of fixings like bacon, avocado, mushrooms, onions, cheese and jalapeno peppers. The menu features house specialty fish tacos, made with flat-iron grilled, lightly seasoned mahi mahi served with pineapple salsa. Other old favorites like the T-Bird sandwich, Rosie’s Club, Huevos Fajitas and French toast make up the large menu selection. Rosie’s Grill brings Harry Johnson’s legacy to customers at a new venue.

Rosie’s Grill takes customer service seriously, and they’ve installed POSitouch restaurant POS provided by Pinnacle Hospitality Systems. POSitouch is restaurant point of sale software that helps businesses run smoothly. With credit card authorization, labor scheduler, inventory tracking and loss prevention capabilities, POSitouch helps restaurant owners manage their business with ease.
