Leisure 10 > 50 Sites

Zonal's EPoS Management system is designed with you in mind. We understand that leisure venues can vary greatly in terms of operation and size so Aztec was designed to be flexible and powerful enough to cater for the diversity of the leisure market, handling large scale single site leisure venues as easily as it can a small independent theatre or a leisure complex of more than 50 sites.

From stadiums to theatres, adventure/holiday parks, leisure centres, bowling, nightclubs and casinos, all with retail capabilities, Aztec's got it covered.

At your Head Office...

The head office is the hub or control centre of a leisure business. Head office managers can analyse the performance of the business via the extensive reporting options on all aspects of your business and make product and price decisions for the whole organisation. The head office can either assume complete control of all matters (suitable for new sites or sites with inexperienced managers) or devolve varying amounts of control to site managers. At the furthest end of the spectrum you can reduce head office to a merely supervisory role where you configure a common area of the theme for the PoS terminals across all your sites, view global reports and produce financial audits.

The Aztec system is not just integrated into your product database and sales, but all your other business software, such as payroll systems. Employee reporting allows you to monitor the performance of staff over your estate and identify the best performing staff to whom you could reward and those staff that are in need of extra training.

Different scales of leisure venues will offer varying facilities at their venues. Aztec is much more than just an EPoS solution, being configurable not just for bars and restaurants, but its retail functionality enables you to use our terminals in your site shop, Casino, nightclub and accommodation. The main benefit of using our EPoS across your estate is that you can use the same reporting tools to analyse the whole of your business operation.

Zonal understand the importance of analysing the performance of different areas of your business so Aztec's range of head office reports allow you to monitor every site and employee to ensure that your business is running efficiently and that staff training needs are identified early. Coupled with Zonal's MIS Reporting tool, managers can create the exact reports that provide the information needed for daily and weekly decision making.

As a manager of an estate of leisure venues, you have access to extensive reporting on the performance of all your sites. Armed with this information you can respond quickly to the changing tastes of your clientele and take the opportunity to boost sales through promotions. You can use the reporting tools to monitor the results of promotions and adjust subsequent events appropriately. Aztec provides an unprecedented level of stock control allowing you to order new stock 'just in time'. This minimises the amount of stock you need to hold on site thereby maximising the space available for your sales areas.

Our Stock system also works on a First In First Out basis whereby oldest stock is always used up first - essential if you want to minimise waste in your kitchen. Stock Auditing allows you to create a database of recipes and review stock usage right down to the smallest ingredient. As a manager of an estate of leisure venues you may want to retain complete control over all your sites or grant different levels of autonomy to each site manager. Aztec gives you the power to take as much control as you need for your business.

Aztec gives you ultimate power over your business and is so simple to use that every manager can get the most out of their system.

In your Leisure Venues...

The Leisure industry covers a spectrum of business types and the configuration of every leisure site is typically very different. Aztec can be integrated into any existing business management software seamlessly to, for example, facilitate advance bookings, produce entrance and cloakroom tickets and enable you to analyse business performance of any sales area or staff member in real-time. Aztec is even able to record details of staff errors on the PoS terminals so you can identify training needs without shadowing staff at work.

Looks, speedy service and durability are especially important - Aztec has them in spades. Security is vital too. For the ultimate in accountability, all your terminal screens can be routed to and displayed on CCTV systems.

Large scale leisure venues that operate from a single site need a flexible and powerful solution that can process high volumes of sales across many sales areas. Venues such as these typically have a wide variety of operations, from ticket gate entry to bars, restaurants, clubs and accommodation. Aztec is powerful enough to handle all of this and more. Whatever your business model, Aztec takes care of it. Aztec is simple to use, enabling staff in stadiums and theatres to capture all potential sales during the massive peaks in demand that are experienced during intervals at sporting events or during pre or post event corporate receptions. Zonal's MIS can collate reports on any area of your business, providing you with the information to tweak business operations to maximise your profitability.

Operations managers can design different PoS themes that can be used in sales areas across your site - after all, you will want to sell different products at different prices in your bars and themed restaurants. Our PoS terminals can also be used on your ticket gate to produce entrance and cloakroom tickets, saving you the expense of additional hardware.

Leisure businesses can encompass a wide variety of facilities and services, all of them needing an advanced EPoS solution that can handle every business model. Aztec is much more than just an EPoS solution, being configurable not just for bars and restaurants, but its retail functionality enables you to use our terminals in your site shop, Casino, nightclub and accommodation. The main benefit of using our EPoS across your estate is that you can use the same reporting tools to analyse the whole of your business operation.

For leisure venues that allow customers to enjoy facilities on account, all the facilities, meals and drinks enjoyed by your customers are charged to the correct account instantly ensuring that the correct amount owing is shown on the customer's account at all times. Whereas previously customers might have been able to pay off an account before all charges had made it onto the system, with Zonal, that information is transferred in real-time.

Revolutionise your site operations at the bowling lanes, in the restaurant, in the bar or any customer area by adding handheld units for staff to take orders anywhere. Zonal's handhelds communicate automatically with the kitchen screen systems and bar printers to speed up customer service. Our handhelds can come with an EFT card reader so your customers won't even have to go to the bar to pay. Staff can manage tables directly from the terminal - including allocating bills to tables, entering covers, table transfers and split bills.

In stadium and theatre environments you may only have a short break to serve hundreds of people so speed and reliability are crucial. Aztec ensures your staff aren't rushed into making mistakes - and that your audience enjoy their drinks well before the bell sounds.

Aztec simply makes serving faster and more efficient. That means more people spending, and less people waiting. As your sites become bigger there is always the danger that you can get too busy to serve everyone - not with Aztec. Zonal's EPoS terminals are so easy and quick to use that your staff can serve more quickly and hence the more revenue you can take.

Aztec Human Resources gives you complete control over staffing. The Staff Scheduler enables site managers to assign staff different jobs on different days as required. Your staff rota can be defined several weeks in advance and the security option allows you to prevent staff from changing their job type on clock in.

Managers can view reports on all aspects of business at a leisure venue, from beer and food sold in the site restaurants and bars to entry tickets to the various facilities.

As standard, Zonal EPoS terminals are fitted with an integral magnetic stripe reader for credit and debit cards and our EFT system is approved by all the major banks and clearing houses. However, in an age when credit card fraud is on the increase, Zonal can protect you and your customers from fraud with the addition of Chip and PIN devices.
