How to run a Vape Shop successfully with SalesVu POS system!

Posted by salesvu

Offering electronic cigarettes and a large variety of flavors of eliquid, The Vaping Oasis, is a great vape shop run by Bonnie and Harley Butz. They own two locations in Bethlehem and Whitehall, Pennsylvania, and customers love them because of the different supplies they can find. Also, a customer’s favorite is ‘the flavor bar’, where they can sit and have snacks, juices and a great time!

Before starting their journey with SalesVu, Bonnie and Harley were using Clover POS, but they didn’t have a great experience since the system was too confusing and customer service/support was not good.

“We saw SalesVu was a new software, and it seems to be the easiest and most straight forward. It is simply the best option!”

Harley told us that with SalesVu he is using the POS functionality that allows him to sell his products, create discounts and promotions, complete transactions and run all type of reports. The fact that those reports can be pulled up per location, makes it easier for him to manage the two stores, they can easily compare their sales and manage the business remotely.

Another great module that Butz has, is the Loyalty Program. He is able to set up the percentage he wants his customers to earn and the amount they have to unlock before using the ‘loyalty cash’. This feature has definitely helped with the reporting part, he can easily keep track of customers and check their purchase history, remaining balance and check how much they’re spending. This tool has been really helpful for both locations in order to grow simultaneously.

SalesVu has provided the tools to Bonnie and Harley to manage their business. The multi-location capabilities makes it easier and smoother for them. Don’t forget to follow them on social media below!

SalesVu’s software was built for modern, unique, mixed-business models according to Marigolds Market Bar.

Posted by salesvu

Marigolds Market Bar is a gourmet grocery market and bar/restaurant located in McPherson, Kansas. It features small-batch, American-made foods, and a bar that serves micro-brews, fine wines, and craft cocktails.

Being fairly new, Marigolds Market Bar was in need of a software that was capable of accommodating their blossoming, versatile business. After conducting some online research, business owner Michelle Pyle came upon exactly what she needed- SalesVu, a software she describes as being built for “modern, unique, mixed-business models” just as her own.

When asked what some of her favorite factors of our software are, Pyle stated she loves the all-in-one factor, which for her include the staff clock-in/out machine, cash register, customer tracking app, inventory app, and reports among others. She also mentioned loving the real-time factor and archive ability.

“We can obsessively check sales AND make quarterly reports. Also, we can look at data in so many ways, it makes us, as business owners, super, super happy.”

Another feature of SalesVu that Pyle loves is the 24-7 support and our friendly customer service.

“The fact that I can chat online with support or submit a ticket online saves me time and a headache – getting on the phone in a busy store is not easy. Chatting online or submitting tickets at end of evening or early morning is awesome! More importantly, the folks responding actually are able to help. They not only solve the immediate problem, they have other ideas, ways to make things easier. And they’ve been 10 times nicer than companies we’ve purchased equipment from in the thousands of dollars category.”

Marigolds Market Bar’s staff is also enjoying using SalesVu.

“We love the simplicity of SalesVu. There are no long staff trainings needed. It’s fairly intuitive, similar to web/phone tools, etc. so our younger staff are psyched and ready to learn on their own because it’s fun/cool etc.”

Whether you’re in need of some fresh, local groceries or would like to sample one of their savory dishes and a tasty drink, be sure to stop by Marigolds Market Bar next time you’re in the area. To learn more visit their facebook website and be sure to follow their social media down below.

SalesVu Table Reservation is a perfect fit for Sukhi Restaurant in Panama City

Posted by salesvu

Sukhi is a full service casual restaurant that serves dishes from Southeast Asia, the majority of the plates offered are from Thailand. Sukhi is based in Panama City, Panama and they have been in operation for 4 years. Sukhi has just opened its second restaurant in the City and has signed for two new locations to open in 2016. SalesVu has been present throughout the evolution and growth of Sukhi. With the online reservation feature, ecommerce module and our SalesVu iPad POS we are thrilled to be a part of the sales team of Sukhi. We talked with business owner Robert Lamont and here is what he told us!

“Panama enforced a new law in 2012 to try and ensure sales were being declared to “the tax man” with a fiscal billing system. There are a very limited number of POS systems compatible and we were using a Venezuelan system called A1. We now have a very simple fiscal system that we use in conjunction with SalesVu. A1 has table management and inventory management, but was written by a programmer and lacks ease of use and has some “quirks that i failed to get my head around. We have also been using a local delivery system called delicentro which managed our online orders and deliveries; we are in the process of taking photos of all our dishes so that we can set up our own delivery system using the e-commerce app.”

Robert told us the story of how he discovered SalesVu. Here is his story.

“I came across SalesVu when I was looking for a highly functional, portable POS that didn’t break the bank. We occasionally do events and trade fairs with a mobile kitchen and needed to keep track of our sales; when I found SalesVu and saw it was free we tested it and instantly liked its ease of use . I was sure that when we opened our second restaurant we would use an iPad base point of sale, we looked at POS Lavu, Revel POS and Spectu before deciding to use SalesVu, we chose SalesVu because we could take the transition in steps, starting with just using the POS and Table management and then proceeding to use the other apps further down the line.”

SalesVu has been hugely beneficial for Sukhi, the first and most important is the price. Opening a new location isn’t cheap and the thought of spending a lot more money in other systems like Micros when we could of been spending it elsewhere was not appealing for Robert.

“As I previously mentioned, we also wanted to take the transition in steps, this has helped us get to grips with the system at our own pace and use our previous system in conjunction with SalesVu.

SalesVu is also saving all of our staff a huge amount of time, orders can be taken at the table and reports can be generated in a flash, our previous system was incredibly clunky at producing reports and always took half an hour to close the month. Also SalesVu allows us to sell anywhere we want, we can go to trade fairs and even process orders for customers in their car for delivery.”

For Robert the best feature is being able to see how the restaurant is doing wherever he is. He can be in the other restaurant and he can see what’s going on from his iPhone.

“I can generate instant reports on the golf course, you really can be anywhere and use the system.”

If you want to explore the Southeast Asia culture and food, go to Sukhi in Panama and delight yourself with the best tastes and the best people. Visit their website and follow their social media accounts.

“SalesVu iPad POS System and Gift Cards Management provide the best customer service experience” -Dolce Bakery

Posted by salesvu

Serving the Kansas City area since 2007, Dolce Bakery is the direct and delicious result of owner Erin Brown’s passionate commitment to “feeding the people with love.” Which means no shortcuts. No mixes. And nothing phoned in. Dolce turned out just as Erin dreamed, from an early age through culinary school. A perfect place to pause for a moment of handcrafted happiness or grab some goodies to go. Using SalesVu iPad POS System and our gift card management module Dolce bakery has been able to add unique value to their clients experience and ease the payment transactions.

We asked Erin Brown’s how was her experience using our services. Only positive comments and a strong willingness to share her experience with other small business owners was perceived.

“Before, Dolce Bakery used Restaurant Pro Express as the point of sale solution. As soon as we heard about the price and the gift card module SalesVu offered, we decided to switch. I remember that while looking to upgrade our point-of-sale system we reviewed several other options including Quickbooks, Square, Shopkeep, Checkout, and Lightspeed. We ultimately went with SalesVu because it was the most reasonable price, had the most options that best fit our type of business, and gave us the best customer service experience compared to all the other point of sales.”

Erin told us that among the things she really enjoyed about SalesVu Ipad POS System and gift card management was our cloud-based service which provide a cross device synchronization to stay on top of the sales, at all times.

“SalesVu’s cloud-based system gives us the ability to update products with ease, add devices as needed, pull real-time reports and set up shop anywhere. We love that we can know exactly what is happening on every device, at any given time.”

We wanted to know which was Dolce Bakery favorite feature and which one they would recommend the most to future business owners.

“Our favorite feature would have to be ‘Reports.’ We use it on a daily basis to maintain accurate drawer counts and daily sales as well as we heavily rely on the ability to monitor product sales, pull sale reports for particular days/times, and track sale trends.”

The gift card management module was selected and Dolce Bakery believes it is extremely helpful not only for the Dolce brand, but also to motivate brand loyalty among their customers.

“We love the ability to sell and keep track of Gift Cards within Salesvu. Before SalesVu offered the Gift Card Management feature, we used an external system through Mercury Payment. We were able to sell just as many gift cards then as we are now, however the process was more difficult and the margin of error was much larger due to having to use a separate application to sell, re-load, and check card balances, also while keeping track within SalesVu. It took more time from our employees and our customers, which added stress during shop rushes. The all-in-one Gift Card Management feature has saved us the headache of human-errors, has made the sale process easier on our employees and our customers, and gives management the convenience of pulling reports right from SalesVu instead of a third party card processor. “

Erin told that Dolce Bakery has an eye on the ECommerce website feature since they believe it would help their digital strategy and launch their services to the emerging online world.

“We have yet to use ECommerce, though we are very interested. We have been communicating with SalesVu’s tech support team for certain features and we are hopeful that we will be able to use it in the near future! “

Dolce Bakery believes in the joy of the simple pleasures of life. Whether you want to treat someone you love or delight yourself, Dolce’s honest ingredients are sure to please any palate.

Their premium infused oils and vinegars delight any pallet and take each cooking experience to a whole new level. The Galley sells Ultra premium Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar as well as cooking and entertaining accessories. Business owner Cathy Jones told us that there are about 40 flavors of vinegar al oil, and that all are available at The Galley. The store and gourmet boutique allows the consumers to “taste” before they buy so they know and like the flavor before they buy it.

At the moment they are using the iPad POS System and the Ecommerce Website, which is recently a new SalesVu module they acquired. Cathy Jones, the business owner, told us that SalesVu iPad POS System is the first one she had ever used and she feels very satisfied with it. The Galley is about to turn a year enjoying our services in June 2014.

“At the beginning I looked at Quick-Books and Shopkeep, but they were both expensive and bulky or worse, too pushy for our taste. SalesVu is easy to understand and user friendly. It is not a bulky POS since having an iPad is practical and common.”

Cathy also said that:

“My favorite feature is the fact that SalesVu is wireless. For me, the less components to deal with, the better, especially when finalizing the purchases.”

Cathy told us that she was able to reduce the cost of goods and better manage the suppliers of the products after she was able to figure how to correctly use the inventory management feature, and place the data of the oil and vinegar measures on it.

As for the ECommerce Website module, Cathy told us that she is fairly new in understanding how it works, but that she likes it and sees the potential it has for her business.

Country Porch Winery wishes they have known about SalesVu iPad POS System and Employee Schedulling years ago.

Posted by salesvu

Country Porch Winery started a winery business in a large warehouse north of Cortland,Ohio by teaching wine making, selling homemade wine supplies, and starting their own winery. Wine, cookouts, and great music from local bands, Cortland Wine Cellar enjoyed a busy and fun five plus years of business. They met and made new friends and customers all while planing the perfect location for their winery. Country Porch Winery has been a work in progress for many years after joining the wine industry in 2006 and SalesVu iPad POS System is proud to be the official credit card processing system that helps them accomplish their goals and drive sales.

Debbie Belts and Sheila Fisher are the co-owners of D&she Inc. Who set out to find a location for their own winery to open in 2012.

“As small business entrepreneurs for 17 years running a fulfilling shipping company a MYO wine store along with a farm produce and antique market, we knew we would need a good POS system to take care of their front counter, relay information to the kitchen and staff, take care of their customer needs and maintain their inventory, along with capturing all of that information in an easy to use format.”

The fit came naturally when in 2012,Sheila, the office “techie”, did some research and found SalesVu iPad POS System.

“The current POS systems available on the market are just not complete enough. We had previously used a standalone accounting POS system that was cumbersome and time consuming, but after reviewing and demoing several POS systems that were specifically designed for the wine industry Sheila sought out the options of a more updated system using iPads and the cloud as interactive solutions. It was at this time she found SalesVu along with several other cloud-based POS systems.”

Country Porch Winery told us that upon demoing and reading the SalesVu iPad POS System customer reviews and industry based comments, they tried to teach the other owners and staff that SalesVu was exactly the system she was looking for that it exceeded their needs and expectations

“Currently, we are using SalesVu iPad POS System on two iPads with a kitchen and receipt printing along with customer information and inventory modules. It is really easy to ring customers out assisting them with their orders, reviewing their items and printing everything in the kitchen. At the end of the day, employee management and scheduling on the online clock goes on, and of course, the most important tool, the statistical and financial reporting has made SalesVu invaluable to our small business. We are looking to grow with SalesVu and the industry. All I can say is I wish I found SalesVu years ago for the other businesses I owned and managed!”

And we look forward to see you thriving too!

Natalie evaluated several other services before choosing to stay with SalesVu. She told us that among them were Square and Paypal.

“We chose SalesVu above the others, primarily because of the free e-commerce website and shopping cart integration. We also like the reasonable flat rate fees”

“First, the e-commerce website has created an easy, clean online experience for our customers which has resulted in more conversions to sales.

“My favorite feature is the ability to easily add and change products on our e-commerce site. It just takes us one little click. My husband is our web designer and is capable of doing some code. But I am not and like that I can add or change products myself if needed.”

We asked Rone what was she using before SalesVu:

“I wasn’t really using a system before apart from Square and PayPal. These system services did not, of course, meet my bottom line and need. There were no options to be creative. Honestly, I did not have a chance to consider anyone, as I found SalesVu rather quickly in the beginning process, and immediately made contact, as I knew it represented exactly what I needed.”

Rone’s favorite feature had to involve great management of tables and restaurant, the reason why she told us that the Restaurant POS was ideal for her needs.

“I think I saved thousands of dollars! When I Googled companies before finding SalesVu, many of them wanted a few thousand upfront to get a contract established. I noticed the cost factors almost immediately, while searching online; thus, the reason I tried to hard to find a better option that also provided the creative design element. .”

At this time, Rone has not been using the E-Commerce feature. However, she is going to start doing so within a few weeks. She is learning about it right now and she thinks this feature will be perfect for her Cuisine Door-to-Door delivery services.
