Product and Price Maintenance
By defining centrally the products you buy, sell and create (list for sale) you will have unprecedented control on the attractiveness of your business offering, and reduce the administration effort required across your estate. You can schedule future prices, set different prices across outlets - even define standard, half, double and takeaway portions. For added convenience and accuracy, you can also import prices from your supplier's spreadsheet.
Central control over promotions has enormous multiple benefits for the site. A wizard walks you through even the most complex promotions, in one easy step.
At site, significant time savings are experienced at each terminal as the system determines automatically the best value promotion that applies for each transaction. Automatic promotions translate into fewer sales lines needed, making speed of service quicker and data maintenance easier.
Measurable cost savings are also achieved by preventing the misuse of promotions.
The Z500 terminal can play streaming video for training or advertising purposes. Training on-site removes the need for staff to travel to training venues and the additional cost of staff shift cover. Marketing and advertising video created for use on the terminals can be distributed easily to all sites to ensure a consistent branding or product message is being delivered across the entire estate.
Let your head offices handle product and price definition and maintenance, promotion design and maintenance while giving enough site control to enable site managers to create daily specials.
