Making the switch to Zonal's hospitality EPoS
Whether you’re looking to drive additional revenue, take control of your data, reduce operational costs or save time so you can focus more on making better business decisions, choosing the right technology for your business has never been more important. Our specialist hospitality technology is designed directly with hospitality operators, staff and customers in mind, helping you to achieve your goals and deliver success in your business, regardless of size and scale.
Why make the switch?
1. More data, more control. Bigger savings, bigger profits!
In today’s challenging trading environment, you need tech that gives you complete oversight and control over your whole business. Our fully-integrated suite of technology solutions put that insight and control in your hands, enabling you to improve efficiency, reduce admin and manage costs across your entire business.
Calculate your return on investment (ROI)
Switching to a new technology partner is a big commitment, so to help demonstrate the value Zonal’s EPoS could provide to your business compared to your current provider, we’ve created a handy ROI calculator. Simply input your current numbers and we’ll show you how much extra profit you can expect to uncover with the increased efficiencies and automated processes our customers benefit from every day.
“The support and service has been nothing short of exceptional. Although we are a smaller group than other clients of Zonal’s, we have never been made to feel any less important.”
Alison Lynch, Systems and Procurement Manager, Incipio Group
2. You’ll be in safe hands: Get premium support as standard, regardless of the size of your business
Every Zonal customer is assigned to a dedicated Account Management team and given unlimited access to our UK-based customer support centre, from 8am-12am, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Widely regarded as the best in the business, our support team and fleet of 80+ service engineers work around the clock, covering every UK postcode, to ensure your business is trading effectively.
3. Access to the most advanced connected ecosystem of hospitality tech
We know that managing disparate solutions that don’t talk to each other causes unnecessary headaches, wastes time and results in inaccurate, slow reporting. Our full suite of solutions including EPoS, Online Ordering, Reservations, Inventory & Ordering, Property Management, Analytics & Reporting, and Hospitality Marketing solutions are all fully integrated with one another, meaning no re-entry of data required, no weak integrations resulting in poor or inaccurate data, and significant time savings for you and your team.
- Accurate, real-time data for one site or a whole estate provides a single version of the truth
- Detailed, easy-to-understand reporting for staff at all levels to make informed decisions
- Extensive automations and process improvements yield significant time and cost savings for you and your team
“We are already reaping the financial rewards of our investment with 2% increase on wet margin, tighter stock controls and costings and improved staff scheduling.”
James Nye, Managing Director, Anglian Country Inns
4. We work in partnership with you to help you scale
As the operational complexities of running a hospitality business and external pressures such as rising costs and staffing shortages continue to increase, you need a technology partner that enables you to operate and scale with complete ease. Our dedicated account managers and wider support teams are always on-hand to help you ensure you’re getting the most out of your technology.
