We have used Point of Success now for about 6 years and our frustrations are going exponentially each year, we are considering switching POS companies. It seems as though the folks at POS have gotten more lackadaisical between releasing updates with tons of bugs to never addressing any customer...

We typically are very slow for lunch on this day and slower than a normal dinner, although with the holiday being on a Friday, we might see a spike in the evening with all the parade go-ers coming home from a day of drinking. How busy do you anticipate being?

We use Point of Success as our POS and one if the disadvantages of the system is that it does not have a streamlined way of being able to quote delivery times. I have thus created a very rudimentary table for the front counter staff to use when quoting times based on how many deliveries are in...

Hi all, I posted in another thread (credit card fees) and didn’t get any responses so I thought I’d create a new thread. I was researching credit card processors/rates as this seems like the obvious place to start when trying to cut costs and came across a company called Fattmerchant. They...

Hi All, Does anyone have a training guide they would be willing to share, kind of like a checklist of items to teach new employees organized by employee position? We have a handbook which goes over general rules and procedures but for the training manual I’m looking more for a checklist that...

Hi All, Was interesting in seeing everyones setup for pizzas that have been run through the oven and boxed and are just waiting for pickup or delivery. Do you store them atop your oven? Do you have warming plates on a special rack? Please upload a picture if you can as I am looking for ideas...

Hi all, It’s been awhile since coming around these parts 😛 I am racking my brain trying to come up with ideas for shelving for to-go orders that sits on top of our single conveyor oven. Originally I was thinking metro racks that are 2 shelves high (no more than 36" tall) but I like the idea of...

Hi! I searched around the forum for some up to date info and did not seem to come across exactly what I needed. We currently have (2) gas Blodgett Master-Therm (MT-3255/3270) conveyor ovens and only one of them works at the moment. We have had technicians out numerous times for the one that...

I have recently become very interested in learning more about business valuation and how say, business brokers help their clients determine at what price they should list their business for sale. I know there are occasional threads posted when someone is considering buying a business and whether...

I am in the process of designing t-shirts to have printed since many of our customers ask if we sell the t-shirts. The staff shirts only have our logo and our name on the back, with nothing else on them and I want to do something a little different for the shirts we will sell. For those of you...

We have been having a problem of late at the shop where I can’t get the employees to stop idle chit chat. It has been a standing rule that there is no talking on the line other than what is pertaining to the job at hand. On several occasions, talking on the line has contributed to errors (go...

Was chatting with my partner about our cheese costs (riveting, huh?) and was wondering to myself what others are spending on cheese per month. What percentage of your food cost is solely cheese?

Wondering if anyone has a Point of Success training CD laying around they would be willing to loan me for a few weeks? I’d be happy to pay the shipping both ways. Thanks!

I have purchased an Elo touchscreen and Point of Success software and now am working on getting peripherals purchased to complete the system. I am getting a little hung up on what port selection to choose in ordering the printers and cash drawer. Our setup is as follows: We will be starting...
