SPS DELIVERS CHAIN-WIDE RESTAURANT POINT-OF-SALE SYSTEM CAPABILITIES

Buffalo Philly's Franchising, LLP, of Woodbridge, Virginia, and Foster's Franchise Concepts, Inc., of Haymarket, Virginia, recently selected SPS EntréeAccess for chain-wide use at their restaurants. EntréeAccess is Software Performance Systems, Inc.'s (SPS) point-of-sale (POS) product offering for the multi-unit restaurant market. Both Buffalo Philly's and Foster's are running EntréeAccess in their corporate-owned restaurants and have plans to require all future franchisees to use the EntréeAccess restaurant POS system.

Peter Kenaga, Operations Manager for seven Foster's Grille restaurants, has tried other POS systems in the restaurants he manages. "Our previous POS system had a 'poll to corporate' setup, but it was unreliable and we still had to travel all over Northern Virginia to each restaurant just to do simple things like changing menu pricing, discounts, employee data, and the like. With EntréeAccess and its central point-of-sale repository, we can now perform those tasks right from our own desks. We can also get sales, inventory, and time and attendance reports for all our stores at any time," Peter explained.

"At SPS, we recognized that most restaurant point-of-sale systems were based on a 'single unit' oriented design. We designed EntréeAccess to leverage today's readily available high-speed Internet connections, allowing our POS system on the restaurant floor to mirror its transactions to a central repository in real time. This allows our multi-unit restaurant customers to access and program the POS environment for all of their restaurants in a central place," said Tim Dorsett, Vice President of SPS's EntréeAccess division.

Chris Roth, President of Buffalo Philly's Franchising, has already seen an improvement in the operation at his showcase store. He states, "With EntréeAccess's integrated real-time credit card authorization module, we can authorize credit card purchases in three seconds without having to dial up the service for each transaction. We have also shaved a good amount of time off our payroll processing by using EntréeAccess's built in time and attendance system. At the end of the week, we simply run the Payroll Report from the EntréeAccess back office program and give it to our accountant. No more adding up hours manually like the old system. EntréeAccess is much quicker and extremely accurate."
