Zonal's EPoS Management system is designed to be an essential part of your business that can continue to grow with your business. Equally suited to multi-site estates and single-site outlets, Aztec enables you to identify your most profitable lines, helping you to maximise your sales revenue.

Aztec can be configured for as many sites and sales areas as is required for your business model. Enjoy being able to identify your most profitable lines easily, and as your business grows you can also compare the performance of sites, sales areas and even individual members of staff, all of which help you to maximise your sales performance.

Aztec's powerful reporting options provide managers of large estates with the know-how to monitor the performance of their estates allowing them to make adjustments to products, prices and promotions to maximise the revenue earning potential of each individual site.

At your Head Office...

The head office is the hub or control centre of a pub business. Head office managers can analyse business performance via extensive reporting 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 EPoS terminals across all your sites, view global reports and produce financial audits.

As your business grows and your site managers become more experienced, you can devolve as much control of sites within your estate as appropriate. 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.

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 the underperforming staff who may be in need of extra training.

Aztec is infinitely configurable, giving estate managers the option to grant site managers as much control over site products and prices as is appropriate for their organisation. Site managers also have access to reports and, if configured, can use these reports to adjust products and prices to account for the most profitable product lines on their site. Where estate managers want to retain a certain level of control, they can configure EPoS panels to offer the same products for sale at the same prices on every site in the estate. Site specific panels can be configured to allow individual site managers to create product lists and prices that reflect regional dishes and daily specials.

As a manager of a large estate, 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 Stock Auditing provides an unprecedented level of 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. Stock Auditing allows you to create a database of recipes (including cocktails) and review stock usage right down to the smallest ingredient - 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 immediately get the most out of their system.

As your estate becomes bigger it can often become difficult to keep an eye on every site - but not with Aztec. With Aztec you can view reports that identify sales volumes all the way down to payment corrections by employee so you know both the most efficient staff and those who may need a little extra training. As Zonal's EPoS terminals are so easy and quick to use, your staff can serve more quickly helping your business increase sales revenue.

In your Pubs & Bars...

If configured at head office, site managers can review the theme for the EPoS terminals and add products that are unique to their pub, for example guest ales or daily specials. This flexibility gives site managers the opportunity to customise their pub with the products that will appeal to their particular clientele.

To help you maximise your sales opportunities Zonal now offer a powerful handheld EPoS terminal that allows your staff to roam your sales areas offering customers food and drink without them needing to leave their seats. Orders are transmitted in real-time to the bar allowing waiting staff to service orders in a fraction of the time. Combining traditional ordering from the bar with a European cafe style ordering system allows you to serve more customers more often!

Aztec simply makes serving faster and more efficient. That means more people spending, and less people waiting. As your bars 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.

Security in large estates is critical because you cannot visit every site in person. Aztec ensures that you can continue to keep a close eye on system security from the comfort of your head office. With Zonal, security is at its tightest - absolutely everything goes through your tills, from happy hour prices to paying the Quizmaster. As staff can be made accountable for separate cash drawers, you have the power to identify all financial irregularities and call staff to account. No matter how many sales areas or sites, you can be assured that the money you should have in your cash drawer stays there!

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.

Zonal's Aztec Management system is designed to be an essential part of your estate. Aztec's powerful reporting options provide estate managers with the essential know-how to monitor the performance of their estates so they can make adjustments to products, prices and promotions to maximise the revenue earning potential of each individual site.

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.
