Acute Payrolls Have Never Been Easier with SalesVu Employee Scheduling

Posted by salesvu

Antonelli’s Cheese owner, John Antonelli has been asked many times “Why a Cheese Shop?”, his response is simple and always the same: it comprises everything he loves. Traveling, spending time together with his partner, and eating great cheese. Antonelli placed himself in a very intense cheese bootcamp, attended to cheese conferences and found out the secrets for the production of an amazing product. He concentrates on sourcing the finest artisanal cheese and serve the growing demand of their customers with private events and cheese education sessions. SalesVu employee management system has been essential integrating their restaurant needs.

“We have two reasons for needing SalesVu. 1) We were in need of a clock-in/clock-out employee time system that would integrate both sides of the street. and 2) We operate events in our Cheese House on a regular basis and it requires a POS solution to allow us to check guests out after making purchases post event.”

Antonellis chose SalesVu to assist with their clock-in/clock-out management because the interface of SalesVu employee management is holistic enough to control the payment of the team members and check their hours of work.

“Employee scheduling is the most helpful tool and it adapts to our necessities. Before using SalesVu for our clock management system, we were leveraging our Microsoft RMS software installed on a HP computer. It was not really convenient, SalesVu employee management became the ultimate solution to submit payments efficiently”

What they like the most is the easy-to-use functionality of the app. It suits Antonelli’s Cheese requirements and according to John:

” I am so happy that that we are able to sync both locations! Team members can flow between spaces without having to worry about clocking. Checking in and out at the correct location, has never been easier. We have now a more acute payroll for our team members and for our business.”

“Inventory Management is Why I Love SalesVu iPad POS System so Much”

Posted by salesvu

Northern Sun Winery is an estate grown winery located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Everything in their wine bottles is grown on site. The business includes a tasting room, a small gift shop and hosting events such as weddings. They can also deliver their wines! They use SalesVu inventory management and simply love it for its convenience and simplicity. Northern Sun winery thinks inventory management is among the top features of SalesVu.

“We needed a mobile POS system because our tasting room does not have phone or Wi-Fi service. We are located in a desolate location. We also can deliver our product to stores or customers, this way I can ring their sale on site accepting cash, check or credit card. It is very convenient for our customers increasing their satisfaction.”

We talked to the business owner, Susan Anthony and she gave us her opinion about the SalesVu inventory management system. For Susan, flexibility and lower credit card transaction rates were a must when searching for a business management solution.

“SalesVu is my first POS system and feel very lucky I got the best.It is hard to pick out a favorite thing, it’s like looking at a picture and picking out one subject. The whole thing is great.That being said I like that it keeps track of my inventory, COGS, taxes. Taxes are huge because I need to really keep on top of that not only on the state, but also on the federal level. I also really like that I can easily obtain my monthly sales of wine for filing purposes. I can break the sales down by time, day or month.”

According to Susan, SalesVu has helped Northern Sun Winery substantially. She says they can now accept credit cards, thus they can make each of their clients feel more comfortable with the transactions. Cold, hard and old cash is a thing of the past. Now everytime she gets foreign customers, SalesVu is perfect for their payment selection.

“SalesVu is priceless. What I paid for it has returned in so many ways to my business. SalesVu inventory management has given me comfort, tranquility, automation, and more importantly customer satisfaction.I must say that I tried the Quickbooks integration a year ago; however, I am not planning on using it this winter.”

Posted by salesvu

They have created an exciting standard tap list, along with a solid reservoir of recipes for special releases and seasonal ales.Seminar is a microbrewery specializing in high quality, hand-crafted ales.Never has it ever been so much fresh, exciting and local craft beer being produced. Seminar Brewing is a proud user of SalesVu restaurant POS.

“We operate a tasting room within our brewery. The space doubles as brew space, so our restaurant POS needed to be mobile and able to be packed away when not in use. In addition, we participate in beer festivals where merchandise sales are encouraged. A mobile POS solution allows us to process credit and debit cards on the go.”

Seminar Brewing considered as other options Square, ShopKeep, and NCR Silver, but chose SalesVu over all because of its broad range of features, simple and the easy organization of the interface. They told us about the immense advantage of having an open tab management within SalesVu restaurant POS.

“Creating open tabs for our customers is easy, and viewing or reviewing sales activity is simple. It’s easy to get a daily sales summary and sales breakdown by category; we make a bank deposit for the cash portion the next morning. Credit card deposits in Quickbooks are made only when they are posted to the bank account, so we use a spreadsheet to track credit card deposits.”

SalesVu gives Seminar the ability to process credit and debit card transactions without any barriers to customer spending. The “only cash” sign has been removed while ago!

“SalesVu restaurant POS also allow us to track tasting room sales of different products. Although we haven’t calculated the exact breakdown of money saved upfront, we know that the other products’ combined costs of the restaurant software solution, plus card processing fees, were much higher.

Seminar Brewery has not yet tried SalesVu Quickbooks integration nor the Ecommerce feature, but they look forward to try them in the near future and expand the reach of SalesVu restaurant POS benefits.

Improve the Restaurant Experience and Engage with Your Customers with SalesVu Customer Relationship management

Posted by salesvu

Every customer interaction you have is another way of gaining their continued business and loyalty. Read our tips on how to improve each interaction so that your customers are more likely to return time and time again.

Improve the Service

Getting your employees involved can quickly transform your business and leave your employees feeling more upbeat, which can lead to better customer interactions and more employee and customer retention. Ask for their suggestions, offer employee promotions and contests, and make sure everyone knows the menu inside and out. Anonymous employee surveys can gauge their satisfaction, feedback, and insight into management and how the business is run.

Make sure your employees understand the importance of customer service. For starters, they should introduce themselves to each table, have a friendly demeanor, and be able to answer any questions about the menu and preparation. They should be alert, attentive, and quick to meet your customers’ needs so that patrons want to return for the ambience, food, service, and overall experience.

Get In Your Customers’ Shoes

In order to really make lasting changes, you need to know what is, and is not, working. The best way to do this is to see things from your customers’ perspective. Consider leaving suggestion cards that customers can fill out. Leave them in the bill and offer a discount or free meal if customers are willing to fill them out. Patrons love to feel like they are being heard and suggestion cards is one great way of accomplishing this.

Offer More Menu and Dining Options

Restaurant patrons love options. Consider offering take-out, delivery, and/or curbside to-go options so that your customers can get their favorite food faster. This can also reduce labor costs, free up tables, and increase profits quickly. Consider also adding new menu items featuring seasonal produce, local ingredients, and weekly specials so your patrons can always try something new and exciting. They will want to visit more often to see what new items the chef has prepared.

Consider updating your brand image, logo, e-commerce site, storefront, and awning. Make sure to also clearly display and promote your new menu options with colorful posters, menu boards, or through online campaigns.

Tech Updates

With POS solutions, servers are able to take orders at the table, send them where they need to go (such as directly to the bar or kitchen), open multiple tabs, split checks, and more from any terminal, which will make your servers’ lives easier. Most importantly, it helps ensure every order is right, that your inventory is updated, and can even help track customer purchase patterns. Once you know what your patrons’ love most, you can make better business decisions, shift pricing, and improve inventory management.

Contact SalesVu to find out how our all-in-one restaurant POS solution can quickly produce a huge change for your business. Our pos system also offers table management, reservation management, credit card processing, marketing automation, and more to help you manage every aspect of your business – anytime, anywhere.

SalesVu iPad POS Sytem, a perfect match for Sweety Pies Bakery

Posted by salesvu

Sweety Pies Bakery is a small family owned and operated business in Downtown Skokie in Illinois. They have been open for 7 years and were featured on Chicago’s Best for their pies. They also do custom cakes for any type of event, including, weddings, sculptural, tiered, and special occasion/birthday cakes. If you can dream it, Sweety Pies Bakery can make it come to life. Business owner Jason Davidson talked to us about their need for a accessible and reliable POS system and how they found a perfect match with SalesVu iPad POS.

“We love what we do and we hope to share our special family recipes with everyone!. SalesVu has definitely allowed us to take orders and process payments from any area of our bakery. We needed something similar to what would be useful for our farmer’s markets ,where people don’t always have cash. We also needed better tracking of what was and wasn’t selling on our menu to adjust our offerings. SalesVu has provided us a compelling iPad POS system“

Jason’s previous experiences with competitors like the old-fashion Casio register were not up to the standards and quality of Sweety Pie Bakery, so they moved away from the past with SalesVu iPad POS. Jason told us:

“The credit card rate was better than Square and the software was easier to set-up and FREE!. None of the other competitors like Square, PayPal or Quickbooks could match SalesVu iPad POS.

Sweety Pies favorite feature is sales reporting and the tracking of average ticket sales. They try to take advantage of as many features as they can from the SalesVu POS and managing system and they feel that the results they are getting are very positive.

“The ability to properly manage employee hours, and the inventory management are also important to us. We are currently working on setting up to better facilitate just-in-time inventory. This has helped me to manage all those aspects of my business from anywhere including home which is a huge plus.

For them, the initial cost of the iPads, printers, and cash drawer were a reasonable expense , but the overall savings with credit card processing saved them thousands. The credit card processing rates are very comprehensive and fair.

“It has helped me to be more productive and spend less time number crunching and more time focusing on what’s next for our business to help us to continue to grow. It has been a great analytic tool for me so I can quantify my projections based on actual statistics and find those much easier now.”

Kettle Heroes have popped up their business with the easy-to-use SalesVu iPad POS System

Posted by salesvu

Kettle Heroes have tasted the SalesVu iPad POS System and have popped up their business!. This company is a family-owned business located in Arizona that was launched into the market in 2013 by two brothers who were looking to make a difference in the world. They strive to offer customers from all ages the best popcorn, kettle corn and lemonade in the Southwest! They use only top-of-the-line, all-natural ingredients in their recipes.

We had the privilege to talk to one of the business owner Rudi Sinykin who runs day-to-day operations at Kettle Heroes. We asked him why Kettle Heroes needed a mobile iPad POS solution and they responded with a great story to share.

“We operate Food Trucks in the Arizona area and we needed a really easy POS system that could really be incorporated in a mobile platform facility like a food truck. SalesVu gave us a practical, affordable and easy-to understand platform that could easily be used with an iPad or Android. During our research for new POS solutions we investigated other competitors, but SalesVu really offered the best transaction fees for the credit card operations and it is able to work in multiple platforms like iOS and Android.”

Previously, Rudi told us that they owned a restaurant in which they used the traditional point of sale system, with cash registers.

” The cost of this machines was 2000$ or 3000$ and they broke down all the time. SalesVu offered us the possibility of using and iPad to manage the transactions and if something happens to it, well, it is affordable and easy to replace”

Rudi also told us that he has not yet used the majority of the SalesVu features, but that what he uses works fine all the time; nevertheless, they recommend to have good Internet Connection when using the SalesVu iPad POS to secure all the transactions.

“My favorite feature is the Sales Report. This one allows me to see the sales results at the end of the day and divides it in categories. It is really simple and easy to bring any transaction in the day by just clicking on it. SalesVu iPad POS operations go really fast which is excellent for our business requirements of almost 90 transactions per hour

The business has a positive motto that leads their day-to-day operations by following what they call, the Kettle Heroes’ creed: “BE HUMBLE. BE HONEST. BE A HERO”. Moreover, Rudi donates 20% of their earnings to several foundations like Pat Tillmans Foundation and since August 2013, we have donated over $17,000 to support local groups and causes such as Anasazi Elementary School and Making Strides Against Cancer.

Tropical Sno share their sweet experience with SalesVu iPad POS System : “A complete and reachable business management solution”

Posted by salesvu

Tropical Sno is a shaved iced local in Western Spring Illinois that is dedicated to create an oasis of shave ice euphoria. They do this by selling the highest quality and best tasting shave ice in the world. It serves more than 50 flavors to eager customers who constantly experiment with the wide variety of flavors and create their own ice indulgences.

We talked to the business owner Nicholas Cozzi who used in his first store the traditional registers, but noticed they were not really useful business-wise to his store. “All they did was round all the money earned in a day and nothing else” Nicholas realized he needed something more useful and a regular POS. He needed a complete and reachable business management tool, one that could offer him a wide range of business tools

He used Square in the past, but found that its features were insufficient for the market understanding and developing of Tropical Sno.

“SalesVu offered me the Gift Card Feature and I loved it!. This was crucial for my decision towards SalesVu business management solution. It is a complete system that understands the requirements and needs of my stores, hence of my clients. The Gift Cards were a huge success for my store, and a way to keep the sales organized. Customers loved it and used it a lot. This feature implied a great success for me and Tropical Sno”

He also told us that other favorite feature he has is the employees and inventory management tools that SalesVu includes.

“They are both very effective and convenient. As the owner of two stores, I need to be constantly updated about the things that happen with the payments of the employees and their hours of work. I also need to know if the cups or spoon supplies are running low in the store and SalesVu emails me with all this relevant information and allows me to manage my business effectively everywhere I go”.

Moreover, Nicholas explained that he felt that SalesVu Customer Service phone number is an extremely important tool of the system.

“The fact that I can call them directly instead of just having an email address makes it a very nice and reachable business solution. It is better to have a direct contact with a customer service representative in case some questions or concerns arise”
