Where will you be watching the biggest football game of the year? Fans in the South Florida area proclaim Duffy’s Sports Grill’s 24 award-winning locations as the ideal place to catch Super Bowl fever – in fact, Duffy’s North Miami Beach location was named the best place to watch the Super Bowl by Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2011! Situated directly on the Intracoastal waterway, with a huge collection of screens inside and out, Duffy’s at North Miami Beach ensures that all their patrons have unobstructed views of the game even with Super Bowl-sized crowds.

Demand for Duffy’s delicious hand-breaded and tossed wings, served with the choice of eight sauces, and their superb Power Play Punch will be at an all-time high on Sunday, but Duffy’s Sports Grill can handle even on the busiest game-time rushes with ease using Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ POSitouch POS for bars. Duffy’s bartenders can keep drinks flowing swiftly with the industry’s fastest service – they can order an item or cash out the check with just two key strokes. Pinnacle’s sports bar POS will keep service consistent and swift by letting servers start tabs including the customers’ names with just the swipe of a customer’s credit card.

Owner Paul Emmet was able to add Duffy’s Big Game Blowout takeout deal to all 24 of his restaurants from a single terminal with Pinnacle’s restaurant POS. Duffy’s daily Homeplate Specials and happy hours are a breeze to offer with Pinnacle’s flexible menu and price functionality that allows Emmet to configure by workstation, day of week and time of day. After the Super Bowl frenzy is over, Emmet can use the data analysis available with POSitouch’s bar POS to compare how each of his locations performed and which items were the most popular. He can query items by major cat, cost center, and user, displaying results on screen or sending them to a POS printer for hard copies.

Whether you are handling the busiest sports day of the year or day-to-day operations, Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ POSitouch POS makes it easy for you to run your establishment efficiently. Pinnacle’s POSitouch features Windows based, open architecture software that is simple to maintain and expand, for use with single or multiple locations.
