The clerk simply enters the room number, or swipes the customer’s room card, the guest’s name is then displayed allowing the clerk to confirm the posting.

Cashless System
Cashless payment can be incorporated within our systems, via either MCR (Magnetic card reader) cards or smart cards. A typical cash sale takes from 20-40 seconds compared to a card transaction of 3-10 seconds. A cashless system will substantially reduce queuing, which is ideal for large volumes of traffic in a short restricted period of time.
These systems are particularly suitable for members clubs, contract catering and school meal environments, with the latter eliminating the requirement for the child to carry cash, having a profound social impact.

Loyalty
Customer loyalty can be implemented using schemes such as points systems or price matrices and discount rates depending on your chosen solution. Points can be accumulated and redeemed at the point of sale as well as the back office system and customers can be activated and ‘hot-listed’ as desired. Loyalty systems are a proven incentive for customers to return to your business and increase spending.
