The Rack Sushi Bar & Billiards Relies on iControl

The Rack is a unique concept Sushi Bar and Billiards Lounge in the historic neighborhood of Hyde Park in Tampa. For just $20, you get an unlimited supply of sushi, small plates, wine, liquor and draft beer from Monday to Thursday, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

With the $20 special, you can enjoy sushi including California Rolls, Shrimp Tempura, Veggie Delight and more. Or, try a small plate like Chicken Fingers, French Fries, Chicken Nachos and even Beer Cheese Dip! You can’t beat this deal for more upscale “bar food”! Although you may assume that the wine and liquor included in the special are bottom-shelf, The Rack includes Kendall Jackson wines and Skyy, Bacardi, Seagrams 7, Southern Comfort and more quality spirits in the deal. If you’re craving something more substantial, order a sushi roll off the lunch or dinner menu, like the B-52 Bomber, with snow crab, avocado, asparagus, salmon, tuna and tempura chips all topped with baked dynamite and eel sauce! If you’re not a sushi fan, there are plenty of other options available, like the half-pound choice Angus beef char-grilled to perfection, served with lettuce, tomato and onions on a Kaiser roll. Top it all off with The Rack’s sinful Chocolate Lava Meltdown, a chocolate bundt cake served hot with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Seth Ronchetti, owner of The Rack, recently completed an interview discussing why he chose Pinnacle Hospitality Systems. First and foremost, he expressed his interest in Pinnacle’s inventory control functions. He has run into trouble with other systems in the past, and needed a quality point of sale system to accurately track inventory. Ronchetti also liked the iControl system, with the ability to keep tabs on his restaurant without having to always be physically present.

iControl POS user, Duffy’s, to be Official Sports Grill of Miami Dolphins

Pinnacle is pleased to announce some fun news about one of its loyal customers, Duffy’s Sports Grill.  In October, Duffy’s restaurants began to incorporate iControl technology into their existing restaurant POS hospitality system

Today’s demands in the hospitality industry make POS systems a necessity for restaurants and other businesses in the hospitality industry. Duffy’s decision to interface iControl with POSitouch point of sale systems gives management operators the tools required to maintain complete control over store operations, at every chain location.

Located in numerous areas throughout south Florida, Duffy’s has recently been deemed The Official Sports Grill of the Miami Dolphins.

With this title, Dolphins Express services will be provided from Duffy’s locations. Management’s ability to organize for such events has been made simple with the help of POS hospitality systems. Dolphins fans may now congregate at any Duffy’s location to be shuttled to a game.  This allows fans from northern areas of south Florida to enjoy Dolphins home games.

“We have a strong base of fans throughout the state of Florida and we want to make it as easy as possible for them to visit Land Shark Stadium. Thanks to partners like Duffy’s, we can provide the Dolphins Express, which we plan to further expand in the near future,” said Mike Dee, Dolphins CEO. “To our fans from the Palm Beaches to the Treasure Coast, the Dolphins Express will be leaving from a Duffy’s near you in 2009.”
