05-07-04 Zonal's EPoS terminal installations reach 16,000 in the UK

After winning a fifth Deloitte & Touche Fast 50 award last year, Zonal re-affirmed its position as no.1 in the hospitality industry by installing its 16,000th EPoS (electronic point of sale) terminal.

Zonal's 16,000th terminal was installed at the end of June at The White Hills Farm, a Belhaven pub in East Kilbride, Scotland.

Zonal supports an impressive portfolio of sites across the UK including pubs, clubs, restaurants bowling alleys and holiday parks. The sites vary from large scale multi-site installations at JD Wetherspoon, Greene King, Regent Inns and Haven Holiday Parks to high-volume prestige sites such as the Ministry of Sound. This wide portfolio provides Zonal with a broad experience of the hospitality industry meaning that no installation is too big or small to benefit from this expertise.

Zonal's own EPoS terminals are supported by the Aztec modular management system that provides complete control over all aspects of trading including stocks, finance and human resources over outlets and entire estates. And should the unthinkable happen, Zonal is on hand at its award-winning call centre 365 days a year to solve your problems instantly.

The company's Managing Director Stuart McLean said:

"We are delighted to have reached the landmark of 16,000 Zonal EPoS terminals, but it is only a small step on our way to improving the effectiveness of people working in the hospitality industry.

Our terminals are used widely across the hospitality industry, both by independent operators as well as large companies, and we are pleased to play a significant part in all their successes.

Enthusiastic market reaction to the launch of the new Aztec Management System is expected to push the number of installed Zonal terminals well beyond the 20,000 level by early 2005."
