Customers who enter Billy’s Stone Crab are in for an unforgettable experience. Voted “Best Stone Crabs” by the New York Times, the Zagat-rated restaurant is not only famous for their fresh seafood, which would satisfy even the most discriminating culinary palette, but also for the unparalleled atmosphere and touch of old Florida whimsy.
The special ambiance at Billy’s Stone Crab harkens back to the golden age of Hollywood glamour. Guests may choose to dine in the upscale dining room, decked with green walls, wood paneling and vintage photographs of Hollywood stars. While enjoying the fresh stone crabs or other favorite Florida seafood dishes, customers also enjoy a magnificent view of the Intracoastal Waterway. The indoor dining area is perched on the second-floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the nightly yacht parade.
For a more low-key experience, guests can eat on the comfortable gliding booths at Billy’s Dock, where they can watch breathtaking sunsets, washing the sky in oranges, pinks and purples. With views that rival Key West, diners enjoy the sights of boats cruising along the waterway or waterfowl flying toward mangrove islands.
For special occasions, Billy’s Wine Room is the ideal place for private parties. If dining-in is not your preference, Billy’s Seafood Market offers their signature crab claws at retail prices for customers to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes.
Billy’s Stone Crab recently chose Pinnacle Hospitality Systems while looking for the best and most efficient POS system in Florida. The environment and operations unique to fine dining require special attention to detail when it comes to incorporating a point-of-sale system. At Pinnacle, we are acutely aware of these intricacies and our special software for POSitouch is intended to help fine dining establishments operate efficiently. For example, special requests from guests are common at upscale restaurants, so we have incorporated memo fields where these requests can be entered, but not printed on the final check. Also, since we are aware that the guest experience is of the utmost importance, we help ensure that food is served at the appropriate times and temperatures with a feature that allows items to be sent to the kitchen based on category or cook time requirements.
At Pinnacle Hospitality Systems, we are confident that our point-of-sale system solutions, like the POSitouch fine dining, will improve your guest’s experience, while helping to manage daily operations like tracking inventory and preventing losses with detailed daily reports.
