Popular Southern Foodie Destination Uses POSitouch

The Atlanta-based restaurant, the Flying Biscuit Café, was made famous for serving crowd-pleasing brunch dishes like their Rose Petal Omelet with orange chive cream cheese and their signature biscuits with organic lavender blueberry-basil jam. Their whimsical take on Southern classics garnered the Flying Biscuit Café national attention from foodie magazines like Bon Appetit and Gourmet.  It did not take long before the popular eatery expanded its orbit.

Today, after opening new locations throughout Georgia and North Carolina, the Flying Biscuit Café also operates in Gainesville, Florida.  With close proximity to the university, the hot spot lures big crowds with their promise of breakfast all day and mostly vegetarian fare.  To help manage the lines of hungry college students, the Flying Biscuit Café in Gainesville employs a Pinnacle POS system.

The POSitouch for restaurants solution enables the Flying Biscuit Café’s staff to quickly route and fulfill customer orders, reducing wait times for their large selection of omelets and their famous creamy dreamy grits.  To assist in crucial, high-volume times, Pinnacle’s new Antivirus Professional ensures that operations will not become overloaded or infected with things such as credit card processing during the busiest service hours. This means diners can expect to be quickly served their favorite new twists on old classics, like the Orange-Scented French Toast with raspberry sauce and honey crème anglaise or the Hollywood Omelet with warm tomato coulis.

“It is also a marvelous dinner restaurant,” reported Atlanta Magazine.  “And one of the true gourmet bargains in the city.”

The Flying Biscuit Café serves up hearty suppers and savory sides like their Biscuit Pot Pie, Flying Fried Green Tomatoes, dredged in seasoned cornmeal and topped with cashew-jalapeno relish and goat cheese or their Turkey Meatloaf and “Pudge”, an old family recipe for garlic and basil mashed potatoes.

The efficiency of Pinnacle’s POSitouch for restaurants helps to keep this hot spot flying high.  Pinnacle offers state-of-the-art POS systems that are easy to navigate, maintain and expand to fulfill your every restaurant need.  Our support team is available 24/7 to help your growing business reach new heights.  For more information on quality POS systems, contact Pinnacle today at 800-771-7100.

Florida Restaurants Optimistic About Business in 2010

Restaurants in Florida are gradually climbing back from the recession and the restaurant industry is optimistic about recovery this year. South Florida restaurants, like Boca Raton-based Table 42 Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar, have seen an increase in sales in the first three months of 2010 compared to January, February and March of last year. Owner Gary Rack says he has also seen more tourists in the first quarter and that even locals are dining out more. A noticeable change is the increased quality and portion size, while prices have remained the same as a dining incentive.  

The National Restaurant Association conducted a survey in February that showed restaurateurs are “increasingly optimistic about the economy and sales growth over the next six months,” (Sun Sentinel). Nationwide, restaurant industry sales are expected to increase 2.5% this year, which is an improvement compared to a decline for the past two years.

The positive outlook has resulted in new operators interested in opening restaurants in Florida this year – which is greatly helping out the hospitality industry. These new establishments range from sports bars to upscale restaurants to casual pizza places.

The trend of higher quality food for the same price also means setting a higher standard for service. Pinnacle Hospitality Systems has provided software solutions to improve services in fine dining, sports bars, nightclubs and casual dining restaurants for over twenty years. Pinnacle supplies restaurant POS systems in Florida like POSitouch and Dinerware to help hospitality businesses maximize profit, increase productivity and control expenses.

Restaurant POS Systems in Florida Create Money & Time

If you have been looking for creative methods to create more income in your hospitality-based business, you may have heard a lot of talk about restaurant POS systems in Florida.  Pinnacle Hospitality Systems concentrates on providing the best tools for the hospitality industry to dramatically increase bottom-line profits and streamline daily operations with restaurant POS software and hardware.

Pinnacle Hospitality Systems knows that a business is disconnected when all of its products used to organize and run its daily business transactions are separate for the most part.  It is vital for restaurant POS systems to interface fully and communicate as one to ensure that all components are on the same page at all times.  A miscommunication, or disconnect, in one area could lead to a costly mistake down the line due to incompatible POS features.

Don’t let the products you depend on to operate your business work against you!  Implementing a restaurant POS strategy designed specifically for your company by Pinnacle Hospitality Systems will put the financial and daily goals of your restaurant well within your grasp.  Contact Pinnacle Hospitality Systems today and ask how we can transform disconnected, unorganized operations into integrated, organized and connected restaurants that succeed!
