“Life is good” in Gulf Shores with the Help of Pinnacle’s POSitouch

Serving up 103,000 burgers a year, more than 64,000 margaritas and over 1,082 gallons of gumbo—to say LuLu’s at Homeport Marina in Gulf Shores, Alabama is a busy restaurant is an understatement.

Not only does the colorful, seaside restaurant offer a full menu of Southern, home-style favorites, but it also hosts an array of charity fundraising events, live music every night of the week and movie screenings on the beach for the kids every weekend.

So in 2007, LuLu’s chose Pinnacle to provide their POS systems to protect their profits and help their crowded restaurant maintain the laidback vibe they are famous for.

“LuLu’s is a state of mind,” said celebrity chef Lucy “Lulu” Buffett, the woman behind the vision of the breezy Gulf Shores hangout.  After a foray in L.A., California, Lulu moved back to her hometown in L.A., Lower Alabama, to make her dreams come true in the land of magnolias, crab boils and tire swings.

“When I first opened LuLu’s, I thought…hey, a little place on the water to get a cold beer and a good burger, just like my daddy would have loved after a long day of fishing,” she said.  “After working for some of the meanest folks in Hollywood, this would be a piece of cake, right?  Wrong! It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever done.  The restaurant biz is not for the faint of heart.”

To help Lulu ride the wave of success is Pinnacle’s POSitouch, which assists in inventory management, credit authorization and loss prevention. Also, their friendly staff can stay on top of their orders with Pinnacle’s hand-held point of sale devices.  So when customers come to LuLu’s they can expect their pick of big fry seafood baskets, filled with shrimp, oysters and crab claws, alongside jalapeno hushpuppies, grass-fed Alabama beef and a tall glass of the largely-renowned LuLu’s Crazy Sista Honey Ale.

“We’re all about good food, good folks, good music and good times,” said Buffett.  “We’re a place to confirm that ‘life is good…’”

Lulu continues to further grow her dream and accommodate for her guests with cookbooks, seasoning blends and specialty hot sauces, all managed by Pinnacle’s POSitouch.

LuLu’s is the perfect escape for some down-home food, good music and Southern charm.

Buffett said, “It’s a special place and I invite you to come and enjoy.”

The hugely popular Stevi B’s Pizza Buffet is springing up in locations all over the country, offering delicious, gourmet pizza made from scratch every morning. Stevi B’s serves the freshest pizza made with 100% real cheese, the finest ingredients and garden fresh vegetables. Their Ultimate Pizza Buffet offers something for every palate. If you don’t see what you want on the buffet, Stevi B’s lets you customize your own pizza creation with toppings you select, served straight to your table. Aside from the classics like BBQ Chicken and Hawaiian pizza, Stevi B’s menu offers a few specialty items you don’t see every day. The Macaroni and Cheese pizza is actually loaded with real mac and cheese, combining two childhood favorites. The Cheeseburger pizza is another specialty that combines ground beef, cheese, red onions and crisp dill pickles on top of a pizza crust.

Stevi B’s has become a fun place for the whole family to enjoy great food in a fun atmosphere, including a game room with arcade favorites – perfect for birthday parties. It’s easy to see how the pizza chain has expanded so quickly since the mid 90’s to stretch across 8 states in over 40 locations. Stevi B’s is now one of the fastest growing casual buffet franchises.

To help with its business operations, two new Stevi B’s locations in Ocala, Florida and Smyrna, Georgia have signed on to use Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ restaurant POS. The POS system for restaurants is helpful for processing credit card transactions and splitting checks quickly and easily as well as for gift cards and loyalty programs. Most importantly, restaurant POS software helps hospitality businesses to hone in on loss prevention with food cost and labor cost analysis functions and detailed sales reports to let restaurateurs know where their profits are stemming from. Pinnacle helps restaurants become more successful by automating the hospitality industry.
