Expanding its international presence in the hospitality industry,
Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) announces the implementation of
Aloha TableService Point-of-Sale (POS) and Aloha Enterprise Reporting
with Gala Coral Group, Europe's leading gaming operator. Gala is in
the process of deploying the Aloha solution in its 176 bingo clubs and
32 casinos across the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Gibraltar in an
effort to centralize control of its food and beverage operations and
significantly reduce staff training requirements.
With many geographically dispersed locations, Gala was looking for
a technology solution that could facilitate a more efficient,
integrated approach to managing the food service segment of their
gaming operations. Aloha TableService POS and Enterprise Reporting
allow Gala to manage and change menus, pricing, promotional programs
and more for all sites from a central location. Corporate-wide sales
data is collected throughout the day using the Aloha system, enabling
Gala to track and manage performance more easily and efficiently.
Aloha also seamlessly integrates with Gala's membership system and
food and beverage financial software, further automating business
processes.
"We turned to Radiant Systems to provide the functionality and
support necessary to manage a complex operation and to help us
continue to rise as a major player in the gaming and entertainment
industry," said Stewart Cruickshank, head of IT for Gala Coral Group.
Importantly, the Aloha POS system's superior ease of use has
helped Gala reduce staff training. With just a minimal learning curve,
Gala employees are ready to use the POS and provide exceptional
service levels to the nearly 25,000 customers that visit Gala bingo
clubs and casinos every week.
"Radiant Systems is pleased to offer Gala the product and service
quality necessary to manage food and beverage operations in their
gaming establishments," said David Griffin, vice president of
international business for the Radiant Hospitality Division. "We look
forward to continuing to provide the solutions necessary to support
their growth."
Aloha TableService Point-of-Sale (POS) - Quick and Efficient
With Aloha TableService, it's easier than ever to enter orders,
manage guest checks, run promotions and process payments. Whether
printing individual, combined or split checks, modifying orders or
transferring tables, Aloha TableService makes it quick and efficient.
And with extensive front-of-house reporting, managers can spend more
time with customers while still keeping up with restaurant and server
performance. The solution's modular, upgradeable design allows it to
grow with Gala's business, accommodating its future needs while
helping maximize the life and value of its investment.
