Jorge Puricelli has been in business since 2012 and he’s the proud owner of two locations located in Hurst and Fort Worth, TX. Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen offers New York style pizza, Stromboli, pasta and salads. It is one of the favorite spots to get great Italian cuisine. They offer quick service and delivery.
Business started with an on-site POS solution that was nothing but problems for them, the equipment was big and slow and service was not good. They decided to go live with SalesVu because of the cost efficiency of the system, it is an all in one cloud based solution, sales are automatically stored on the back end and it is extremely easy to utilize the software on an iPhone or iPad.
SalesVu has helped Jorge Puricelli in several aspects of the business, he uses the POS module the most to complete transactions, modify menu items, check out process is fast and reliable. They also use the discount feature to offer specials for any day, holiday or packages and keep track of the best discount and compare them with the analytics feature. Since he has two locations he uses the report module all the time, with this, he is able to compare general sales, best sold product, best location, sales per categories or individual products with any time frame on a table format or graphs (bar, pie and line). Switching to an online POS system has been absolutely one of the best decisions to make the business grow.
‘SalesVu is so user friendly and self-explanatory that our staff learned the system in 2 days, they can add new menu items very quickly and change them at any time’ – Jorge Puricelli
In addition to the POS, Jorge, will implement online ordering very soon. He is looking to use TownVu, which is SalesVu’s own web site that advertises businesses for free and helps with selling products online, accept payments and offer the best delivery option (dine-in, delivery, pick up). He is also looking to implement ‘Branded App’ where customers will be able to download Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen’s app for iOS and Android, online ordering, reservations, gift cards and loyalty are available with this feature.

They also offer a large variety of merchandise, including accessories, women’s, men’s and unisex clothing available in different colors and sizes. Jason Bell was very excited to share with us his experience throughout SalesVu and how it has helped manage the brewery.
 

Business opened their doors back in 2013, they started using SalesVu right away because at that time it was the best software that suit their needs, the features fit perfectly for the business and the best part is that the price was very affordable. It was very important for Jason to choose a software that was iPad and cloud based, but most important the flexibility that the system provides, access to all of their information from any device at anytime it’s a really great feature to have.
 


 

‘SalesVu has definitely helped us with everything. It allowed us to have a point of sale system when we opened and now that we’ve been expanding we can add more iPads to make the workflow run smoother’.
– Jason Bell

 

The three modules that Living the Dream Brewing Co uses on a daily basis are POS, inventory and gift cards. They were able to switch from paper gift certificates to physical gift cards, the greatest advantage of this is the fact that they can keep track of all the numbers, balances and recharge history using the system. To redeem or sell gift cards they can just simply scan them with the iPad’s camera or enter the number manually. This change was very convenient for them and made their management life easier in every aspect.
 

POS and Inventory are 2 modules that get along really well, Jason told us that sometimes they have events where they sell their merchandise and retail items, all the products and different matrixes that are uploaded into the system can also be tracked under the inventory feature.

SalesVu POS system is available in Mexico! Learn more about Café Azúcar Morena’s experience

 

Café Azúcar Morena was founded 4 years ago in Monterrey, Nuevo León. The concept of this coffee shop is young and modern, they offer homemade coffee and a variety of food like sandwiches and pastries. Currently they have 5 locations with SalesVu and they will open their sixth location within the next few days. Gabriel sat with us and told us why SalesVu was the best option for his business since day number one.
The software was recommended by one of his good friends and they were delighted with the ease and accessibility of having a cloud based system to manage their café. Although there were other solutions offering similar services, SalesVu was the best option for them, just because they didn’t need a lot of hardware and they can manage every aspect of their business from home, office or even when they were traveling.

“We started using SalesVu in our business and this concept was brand new in Mexico. It was very easy and practical, we were able to monitor everything remotely. To this day, we have grown together with SalesVu in all of our locations”. – Gabriel

 

Café Azúcar Morena started using a pen, paper and a calculator to manage sales during their first month of service, and thanks to SalesVu the business took their operations to a whole new level. With the POS module, Gabriel is able to check his sales from any device and can generate these reports by specific categories or products, the sales reports are also available by location, meaning the information that he is looking for can be as general or as specific as he wants to. Adding, editing and deleting products from the system is very easy and pretty self explanatory, all you need is a computer and within minutes you can change your menu and start offering new items.

 

The greatest advantage that Café Azúcar Morena sees with SalesVu is the amount of money that they’ve been able to save on software and especially hardware. There’s no need to buy a system with a big computer that will become slow and non-functional within years, every single aspect of the business is handled with an iPad, which is very practical. Receipts can be sent by email or text message and this gives a cleaner and modern design to every business.
Gabriel shared that his favorite feature with the software is customer service, this is truly valuable for him. When any of his staff members have questions, they use the technical support service via chat and in less than 5 minutes they respond and solve any issue that they’re facing. The reps are pretty responsive all the time. SalesVu technical support is 24/7 and is available in English and Spanish.
Inventory and Employee management modules are also available with the software. Gabriel is really interested in these features since everything is integrated with the system and there is no need to look for a third party software to accommodate it.
Café Azúcar Morena is enjoying the experience of having a cloud based system. SalesVu is able to handle any type of business, from coffee shops, restaurants, retail stores, beauty salons to professional services. Having a consistent and quality software that you can rely on is very important for Gabriel and his team.

¡SalesVu en México¡ Conoce la experiencia de Café Azúcar Morena

 

Café Azúcar Morena inició hace 4 años en Monterrey, Nuevo León. Con el concepto de una cafetería moderna, ofrecen un café tostado por ellos mismos y cuentan con un menú de alimentos para acompañar las bebidas. Actualmente cuentan con 5 sucursales y están próximos a abrir la sexta en un par de días. Gabriel se sentó con nosotros y nos contó porque SalesVu es la mejor opción para su negocio desde el día de su apertura.

 

SalesVu fue una recomendación de uno de sus amigos, y quedaron encantados con la facilidad y accesibilidad de manejar su propio negocio desde la nube y sobre todo con un iPad. A pesar de que existen otros softwares de punto de venta que ofrecen servicios similares, SalesVu fue la mejor opción por el simple hecho de que se requiere el mínimo de hardware y el módulo POS (Point of Sale) es grandioso para manejar tu negocio desde casa, oficina, o incluso mientras te encuentras de viaje.

 

“Comenzamos a utilizar SalesVu en el negocio y esto era totalmente nuevo en México. Se nos hizo muy fácil y práctico, todo lo podíamos ver en internet directamente, como checar nuestras ventas. Hasta el día de hoy hemos ido creciendo junto con SalesVu en todas nuestras sucursales”. – Gabriel

 

El primer mes de apertura contaban con una calculadora y papel para poder monitorear sus ventas, gracias a SalesVu la organización y orden del negocio dio un giro de 360 grados. Con el módulo POS, Gabriel es capaz de checar sus ventas desde cualquier dispositivo y puede generar estos reportes por categorías o productos en específico, los reportes de venta también están disponibles por sucursal, así que esta información pueden ser tan general o específica, depende de lo que se esté buscando en ese momento. Agregar, editar y eliminar productos del sistema es muy fácil, solo se necesita una computadora y en minutos puedes cambiar tu menú y comenzar a ofrecer nueva mercancía.
El mayor beneficio que Café Azúcar Morena ve con SalesVu es la cantidad de dinero que se han ahorrado en software y sobre todo en hardware. No hay necesidad de comprar un sistema con una computadora enorme que se vuelve obsoleta rápidamente, todo se maneja desde un iPad lo cual es muy funcional y práctico, los tickets de venta pueden ser enviados por email o mensaje de texto y esto da un diseño mucho más limpio y moderno para cualquier negocio.

 

Lo más valioso que Gabriel ha obtenido hasta ahora con la experiencia de utilizar SalesVu para su negocio es el servicio al cliente. Cuando él o su equipo han tenido dudas, utilizan el servicio de soporte técnico vía chat y en menos de 5 minutos responden y aclaran sus dudas. Los representantes son muy atentos y rápidos. Soporte técnico está disponible en inglés y español los 365 días del año.
Los módulos de administración de Staff y administración de Inventario también están disponibles con el software. Gabriel está realmente interesado en esta funcionalidad del sistema ya que todo está integrado con SalesVu y no hay necesidad de buscar otro sistema para acomodarlo.
Café Azúcar Morena está disfrutando al máximo la experiencia de tener un sistema de punto de venta en la nube. SalesVu es capaz de manejar cualquier tipo de negocio, desde cafeterías, restaurantes, tiendas de ropa, salones de belleza hasta servicios profesionales. Tener un software con el que puedas contar desde cualquier parte del mundo es bastante valioso para Gabriel y su equipo.

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

 

marigolds market and bar

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

389460_236552229749543_1683744218_n

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.

11060850_846908892047204_1800468569572306986_n

“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.
