“Combining traditional southern flavors with a soulful musical backdrop,” Five Sisters Blues Café is located in the heart of historic downtown Pensacola. This charming café is part of the newly-gentrified Belmont-De Villiers neighborhood, which once housed one of the city’s first African-American radio stations back in 1968.

Florida may be the only state in the country that requires one to travel north to get to the south, but Five Sisters offers soulful southern cuisine without crossing the Florida-Alabama or Florida-Georgia state lines. Classic country with a gourmet twist, Five Sisters serves up soul food prepared with love, and has locals and visitors alike coming back for more. Stepping into Five Sisters Blues Café feels like walking into a relative’s warm kitchen, with a comforting homey feel; but don’t let the cozy atmosphere fool you, this kitschy café is equipped with Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ POSitouch for restaurants, a leading POS system provider. With Pinnacle’s point of sale system, servers can easily route orders to the appropriate stations with the touch of a button. The easy-to-use interface makes training time quick and painless, and less time at the computers means more time providing southern hospitality to guests.

Come by for Sunday Brunch and try one of the most popular items on the menu, the crispy Chicken and Waffles, served with maple syrup. Accompany your American southern favorite with a mimosa or Bloody Mary. If you’re craving something more savory, try the Gumbo du Jour, which one Yelper reviewed – “I hate some of the gumbo in Pensacola – it either tastes SO heavy that it is almost like mud, or it is so light that it tastes weak. Five Sisters nailed it. This was good gumbo. Loved every bite.” No matter what southern classic you’re in the mood for, Five Sisters is sure to have it.

Do you have a favorite breakfast memory?  Perhaps it happened at an out-of-the-way restaurant during a family vacation, where the food was made to order with the season’s freshest ingredients.  Or maybe a piping hot stack of your grandmother’s pancakes comes to mind, dripping in maple syrup and crowned with a golden pat of butter.  The memory and taste is permanently etched in your mind, though no other breakfast seems to compare.

Well, Keke’s Breakfast Café in Orlando, Florida may change your mind. We often hear “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, but in today’s harried society, quality has been sacrificed for efficiency.  Liquid eggs, frozen waffles and processed meats have become common ingredients in many modern breakfast restaurants.

If you are looking for something like your grandmother used to make, then Keke’s is the place.  “It’s like your hometown diner grew up and went to the city”, says their motto—and their delicious gourmet twists on diner breakfast classics prove their point.  At Keke’s, they believe in value, where the diners feel the owner’s presence and taste the love in their homemade and fresh menu items.

Their famous waffles range from healthy, like the Granola Crunch Waffle topped with banana, to the decadent, like the Banana Split Waffle, with bananas, pineapple, fresh strawberries, chocolate, pecans and whipped cream.  But, they all share one thing in common—quality ingredients.  Customers may also choose from a large array of pancakes, French toasts and stuffed French toasts, like the tropical Pina Colada Stuffed French Toast with pineapple, coconut and cream cheese.  Omelets, eggs and home fries made from sliced red skin potatoes are also on the menu.

Keke’s Breakfast Café has been a long-time customer of Pinnacle Hospitality Systems and has depended on us for their quality POS system.  Keke’s uses POSitouch software to ensure their daily operations run smoothly.  POSitouch modules include Time & Attendance, Credit Authorization, Inventory Management, Accounting Interface and much more.  It is easy to use and expand, which is important for franchises like Keke’s.

Columbia Restaurant has been a Florida tradition since 1905.  With restaurants across the state, Columbia has remained a popular and authentic choice for traditional Spanish and Cuban cuisine for over 100 years.  The fine dining experience is enhanced at their Tampa location, offering a picturesque view of the downtown Tampa waterfront.  Guests may choose from indoor or outdoor seating on the waterside terrace, that overlooks the Garrison Channel and Harbour Island.

People come from all over the state to dine at the famed Columbia Restaurant, known for the Original “1905 Salad” with beefsteak tomato, ham, Swiss cheese and garlic dressing.  Other family favorites and popular dishes from the restaurant’s flagship in Ybor City are Chicken and Rice Ybor, Shrimp “Al Ajilo” and Miranda’s Ybor City Devil Crab Croquettes.  Columbia offers their guests an opportunity to step back in time, where Spanish Cava Sangria is made tableside and customer service is the highest priority.

“When you’re Florida’s oldest restaurant, you believe in relationships, and relationships are generated because of service,” said Richard Gonzmart, President and owner of Columbia Restaurant in Tampa. “We provide service to our guests and Pinnacle provides immediate service to all of our nine restaurants around the state of Florida.  It’s a company we know we can count on.”

Gonzmart partnered with Pinnacle Hospitality Systems to operate his busy business back in 1992.  He wanted a POS system and provider that was both cutting-edge and able to manage a century-old family business.  “It is the right choice and the only choice I would have made back then and today,” he said.

“Pinnacle has helped our business identify what the trends of our customers desires are on the menu,” he said, which has helped control food cost issues and pricing.  “Since we’ve used Pinnacle, we’ve hit that magic number that my Dad sought for 40 years.  Pinnacle gave us the information needed to price the menu according to guest desires.”

The POSitouch enables restaurants to identify food categories where there is overuse or a shortage.  For example, this feature notifies managers when the Swiss cheese is running low for Columbia’s most popular salad.  Another way the POSitouch helps hospitality businesses run smoothly is through accounting and scheduling services.

“Labor expense is the difference between making and losing money.  Using POSitouch’s scheduling saves us money,” said Gonzmart.  “Pinnacle and the team helped us achieve the success we have achieved.”

Gonzmart selected Pinnacle Hospitality Systems’ POSitouch point-of-sale for its quality, experience and affordability.  Pinnacle helped his restaurant increase revenue through inventory control, loss prevention, labor management and food cost analysis.  Pinnacle’s 24-hour customer service representatives are always on call to help you with your hospitality business needs.  If you are searching for a quality POS system in Tampa, call 1-800-771-7100 now!

Jackson Street Bistro in the heart of downtown Tampa opened April 2009.  Since their debut two years ago, Jackson Street Bistro has become a popular lunch spot for the wave of business professionals in the downtown area.  The extensive menu, consisting of healthy comfort foods, combined with the chef’s exotic twist on traditional café favorites, keeps their customers coming back for more.

The restaurant has an open-air Tuscan feel, offering indoor and outdoor seating.  It is common to see the office crowd conducting casual business meetings over one of JSB’s make your own salads, all made with a mélange of baby spring lettuces and served with a freshly baked muffin.  Corporate customers also take advantage of the free WIFI, multi-tasking over a smoothie, quiche or specialties like the Bistro Club, with grilled chicken, avocado, bacon, feta and a mango chardonnay.

JSB also makes it possible for guests to enjoy their fresh and delicious fare without even leaving their workplace.  Their catering business is just as popular as their bistro, delivering to many of the surrounding high-rise building offices.  They make cakes to order for office parties and even offer online ordering, making delicious take-out and delivery a little more convenient.  Gone is the greasy pizza of take-out past—replaced by JSB’s fresh, gourmet menu items like the pressed Cuban sandwich, with choice of seasoned waffle fries or pineapple raisin coleslaw, Italian meat-stuffed muffalata and a build your own bistro burger.

Restaurant proprietor Peter Pergola has made improvements to the menu over the past couple of years.  He has tailored his restaurant and catering business to the downsized economy without compromising flavor.  He has also made the foods that everyone loves lighter by swapping out heavy ingredients, like the breadcrumbs in their scrumptious meatloaf, with healthier substitutes, like oatmeal.

To keep their successful catering business and bistro operating to the best of its ability, Jackson Street Bistro chose Pinnacle Hospitality Systems for their POS system. As a premium dealer, Pinnacle Hospitality Systems installs single store iControl Enterprise management systems on every POSitouch system deployed. iControl Enterprise Solution is an internet-based enterprise reporting and communications tool specifically tailored for restaurant operations using the POSitouch point-of-sale system.  The low cost single store iControl version has a tremendous return on investment that can be easily accessed through the profits created through features such as loss control prevention, management alerts, payroll and accounting interfaces and more.  That means single unit operators can use the loss prevention and management tools developed for big chains, without the investment.  If you are looking for a POS system in Tampa, call Pinnacle today at 1-800-771-7100!
