‘With SalesVu POS system my sales increased 23%-24% on slow times’ – Alex Jain

Posted by salesvu

Homemade fresh gelato is the distinctive product that Paciugo Gelato Caffe offers. Located in Oklahoma City, Alex Jain joined us and shared with us why SalesVu was his first option when looking for a POS solution for his business.

Alex started his business using Square POS System but he was having problems with viewing reports. He decided to go with SalesVu about a year ago because of the incredible analytics that this Free POS offers. Sales reports were easier to pull and he could obtain information such as : busiest hours of the day, best day of the week and best month of the year.

‘SalesVu has helped my business with mainly reporting, if you know exactly which are the slowest times of the day or the week I can push those hours with discounts. If it’s slow I create happy hour discounts on those days and times. With SalesVu my sales increased 23%-24% on slow times and I am very happy that we decided to switch to this POS solution’ – Alex Jain

Besides reporting, Alex mentioned that Inventory control is very good, he is able to see inside out exactly which products have been sold and which products are coming in. With the profitability report he is able to see total cost of inventory and profit margin per products or categories.

Having a POS software that gives you reliable and detailed reports was very important for Alex and because of it he was able to push his business even more and got more sales as a result.

Stumpy’s Hatchet House! The first indoor hatchet throwing venue in the USA is using SalesVu POS system to manage reservations in their business.

Posted by salesvu

Stuart and Kelly Josberger are the proud business owners of Stumpy’s Hatchet House. Together they started this recreational facility where people can explore their fun side and throw hatchets as a sport, in groups, parties and events. The hottest spot in Eatontown, NJ., was founded in April 2016 and definitely grew into a big trend in the US, they’re franchising right now and their four upcoming locations will open their doors in 2018 in New Jersey and Texas.

Stuart and Kelly started this business looking for different POS systems, they had a hard time because this business is so unique that it didn’t fell into the Restaurant or Spa categories. Some of their requirements to choose the right software were the possibility to manage multi-locations, an all-in-one system that included inventory tracking, employee management, online reservations, gift cards and ease of use for the staff, managers and franchises. SalesVu was the right fit for them at an affordable price.

‘SalesVu has been great with us with customizing the reservation feature. We have been able to maximize the number of people that comes to our store. We started with online reservations and we implemented a feature where we take a deposit at the time of scheduling, thanks to this feature our ‘no shows’ have decreased from 25% to 5%’ – Kelly Josberger

The reservation module offers to have the schedule or calendar embedded into your website, there’s no need to redirect your customers to another webpage. In addition, it includes three types of payment options: payment upfront, payment at the business and partial deposits, you are able to choose the right one for your business. When customers reserve a pit on Stumpy’s Hatchet House website, they get a confirmation email and text, and prior to the appointment they also get text reminders.

Another feature that has been very helpful for Stuart and Kelly is the online gift card module. They implemented this tool on December 2016 and it was a game changer for them because they used to sell physical gift cards and mail them to their customers, which was very time consuming. Now people can buy electronic gift cards for their own or send them as a gift, they receive an email with a unique code that they will use to redeem it in the store towards a service or a product.

‘Last December we saw a huge increase on electronic gift cards for the Holiday season and we hope this year will be the same’ – Stuart Josberger

The last two modules that Stumpy’s uses to manage employees and keep track of their merchandise are Employee and Inventory management. The first module is used for clocking in/out, creating schedules for shifts, send schedules by email/text, pull labor reports and upload training documents for them to review. With the inventory module, they monitor in real time the deduction of the merchandise such as t-shirts and hoodies, they can create PO’s for ordering more products and receive inventory that will update automatically.

To continue to manage their business and to be able to franchise and add more locations, Stuart and Kelly need the help of a reliable system that keeps growing with them. That’s why SalesVu is the best software for any type of business. If you are in the area of New Jersey, take a break to have some fun and visit Stumpy’s Hatchet House! Reserve your pits here

Funky Pearl Boutique said accounting and bookkeeping with SalesVu iPad POS System is easy and fast!

Posted by salesvu

Funky Pearl Boutique is a lower-end Boutique with same trends as higher-end boutiques. Proudly selling fashions of sizes Small through 3XL, along with shoes, accessories and home decorations. The Boutique is one shop that values customer relations and expectations and SalesVu and inventory system and easy accounting features had been used to help Funky Pearl boutique achieve short and long term goals and, of course, keep clients happy!

“I originally opened the Boutique for fun and to meet new people in the area while proposing a small business in a small community in which I live. I wanted to broaden social interaction outside the area from where I come, in order to bring new people to the town. I held a career in banking for many years until I was a stay at home mom for four years, then decided to open a Boutique, not only because it’s fun for me, but our small town needs it, our people need it and it’s a great way to keep small town shopping local.”

We asked Funky Pearl Boutique’s owner Billie Kelley why she chose a mobile POS system and not a traditional one. She mentioned that convenience for customers was a number one priority, and that SalesVu credit card swipper has converted every transaction in something easy and interactive.

“Nowadays, it’s more convenient for people to swipe a debit or credit card and go. It is the safest way to get money other than cash. Checks are not a safe way to do business anymore, so I chose to use a POS system for convenience to myself and to my customers. I do not take checks, so it was convenient to offer more than one payment solution when selling merchandise”

Billie told us that the main reason to choose SalesVu was because we offered the best choices for new, and small business owners who are concerned with the expenses and accountability of their profits.

” SalesVu offered free monthly service, low rates and a great Sales Reports. This last one is very important to me and my accountant. The convenience of having my reports all put together for me at the end of the month for free was great. I feel SalesVu was a wise decision because of the time I have saved with it.”

Billie also told us that she has used SalesVu since the day she opened Funky Pearl Boutique on June 12th, 2013. She is definitely not thinking about trying another system because SalesVu has been what she needed so far. Also, she considers that the system could become even better and looks forward for more updates and additional options.

“My favorite things of SalesVu, well, I have a couple. The first thins is I like is the inventory descriptions and the second is the Sales Reports, as I mentioned before. The inventory descriptions are nice because you can detail your merchandise out to describe what was purchased on receipts so customers can see their purchases itemized. I also like the Sales Reports sincee you can see what you’ve sold between a certain time frame, detailed in before taxes, after taxes, with and without discounts, etc. This is significant to me in how much I’m doing in promotions and every month.”

Posted by salesvu

REDBAR Espresso & Market is a 100% Fair Trade Organic Specialty Grade Espresso and Coffee shipped in fresh from the world renowned Klatch Roasting, in California. Established in 2012, the owners of REDBAR realized the need for a coffee shop free from high sugar syrups and GMO milk. REDBAR came almost as an experiment to see if quality is still sustainable in today’s industrialized commercial world.

“This was not a business move where corners are cut for the sake of profits and market competition. This was designed top to bottom as a place I would eat daily. We honestly believe you may never find another place like it.”

Dr. Michael Bucknell set the bar high with REDBAR Espresso & Market. A place where quality and honest products delight the palates of many. They were awarded 3.5 stars in their Yelp page and positive comments from happy customers. SalesVu was chosen as the restaurant POS of the establishment and the reliability of our system had not disappointed.

“We wanted simply to use an iPad based system, mobility wasn’t really necessary. SalesVu was the most feature rich and cost effective of the POS options. It has been our choice from the day we open our doors after much research”

Dr. Michel has high standards to please their customers and also looks to please himself with the very best. SalesVu restaurant POS is in charge of effectively processing credit card transactions and other forms of payment.

Red Onion Spice & Tea Company are merchants of high quality spices, loose leaf tea and gourmet salts. Catering to the chef that lives within all of us, they specialize in offering custom spice blends. They offer original tea blends using only the best quality loose teas. Their products are primarily organic and maintain rigorous quality control to bring out the best flavors in all our dishes. Red Onion & Spice Tea Company have high standards, reason why they have chosen to use SalesVu retail POS !

“Our business started online in 2010 with our first store opening in Juneau, Alaska in 2012, We’re a small business run by three staff and me, the business owner. We pack each internet order item fresh as it’s ordered, and in-store we offer both bulk and items that we pre-pack. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have customers who walk into the store happy, and leave happy! Our town has a small selection of restaurants to choose from, so there are lots of experienced ‘closet chefs’ in town. We ship all across the country and Canada as well and are proud of our reputation that we have built.”

We asked Kathy Jones why they needed to obtain a mobile POS system and why from all the options, they decided for SalesVu retail POS. They told us that even being the business owner of a small retail shop, the challenges and problems they faced were very significant and large.

” I work another full time job and can’t be at the shop during the day. My other job also requires that I travel – and I take vacations away as well. This means I need to be able to manage my business wherever I go, and at home in the evenings. Reason why I needed to be able to handle Red Onion & Spice & Tea Company affairs from everywhere I went. SalesVu retail POS did it all and charged a simple and reasonable rate for credit card transactions”

Kathy told us that businesses are very complex enough and that she really appreciates the ease of use of SalesVu. She believes the inventory management feature and the invoice management one are extremely reliable and adequate for Red Onions Spice & Tea Company

“It tracks our employee’s hours, the POS has an easy interface to learn and use, and most important, it handles our inventory – which can be fairly complex. I can easily manage and balance deposits as I receive email reports when a shift closes out. I can add new products or make corrections from home and while I travel, and a simple refresh at the POS instantly shows the new information. Staff can view what is on order so they can communicate to our customers when an item is expected back in stock. The web interface is also easy to use. As businesses are complex enough, I appreciate the ease of use.”

Before SalesVu Kathy used paper and spreadsheet, not even a traditional POS that helped her keep track electronically of the purchases. What a change it has been for Kathy! An important upgrade to modern payments with SalesVu retail POS and inventory management tool. She told us that from all the POS options in the market, several other products required a major cash investment in software and online services that they just couldn’t afford.

“One of my favorite things about SalesVu is that it’s so intuitive to use. We have to train quite a few staff and not having to explain the POS system is a big help in getting new staff up and running in no time. Another favorite item is the inventory and flexible product listings. Most of our items in stock are kept in small quantities in order to maintain freshness, so having an accurate inventory at my fingertips wherever I go has been of major importance to us.”

If you think your culinary skills require a little spice-up touch or you really want to immerse in an aromatic journey with tea infusions, be sure to contact Red Onion Spice & Tea Company and visit their website and social media accounts.

resquoo amends any tech issues while SalesVu iPad POS System overhauls their internal functionality.

Posted by salesvu

resquoo is a start-up company formed 14 months ago that offers data recovery; data transfer services, device tune-ups and virus removal services for broken computers, hard drives, storage media and mobile devices. They have conveniently placed drop-off / pick-up kiosks at shopping malls and recover information from all types of devices from their data recovery lab in Peabody, MA. There, the magic of retrieving all that “lost” stuff happens. With a very high success rate, resquoo charges affordable rates. resquoo is also a member of the Apple Consultants Network and employs Apple certified support professionals. Hands down, resquoo is the place to go for unexpected or accidental damage, data loss, and virus removal.

SalesVu POS solution has proven to be helpful and valuable for this recently formed company. We had the unique opportunity to talk to resquoo business owners about their experience with us:

“What we really like is SalesVu POS solution front-end, both in the app, and on the web. It is really comprehensive, and it is really great at categorizing retail goods. SalesVu is so intuitive we don’t have to train any of our employees in how to use it properly. Obviously, this is a tremendous time saver for us and it really put us forward in regards to our efficiency. We can add or modify the large number of services and products we offer from within SalesVu and that fits ideally to the characteristics of our business.”

SalesVu definitely has some good news for all the ones reading that are in desperate need for information recovery, data transfer, virus removals or tune-up’s: resquoo is planning to expand their services and even maybe franchise! resquoo operates with state-of-the-art and sophisticated technologies that guarantee an excellent result when you drop-off your devices at the conveniently located kiosks inside the malls.

“Since our pick-up and drop off locations are kiosks in shopping malls some of our technicians are mobile and are required to perform on-site diagnostics and some services at customer locations. Therefore, an integrated, multi location enabled and mobile POS, like SalesVu POS, was required.”

From all the POS out there, why SalesVu? We asked resquoo business owners and they answered:

“SalesVu offered the best mobile and cloud solution, one that enabled us to combine charges for our unique customer services. As part of our services, we also sell replacement, larger capacity hard drives, and other storage media, (e.g. Backup solutions). Thus, inventory tracking, ordering, as well as staff management, and time tracking were important tools SalesVu POS was able to provide us”.

The first POS solution resquoo used was SalesVu and we have provided them a reliable tool to make easy transactions, quick deposits in banks, and very competitive credit card transaction rates.

“SalesVu’s team has proven to be extremely responsive with round-the-clock responses on the phone. I can say how supportive they have been with us because no matter how many times we need them, SalesVu always gets back to us right away.”

Accidentally clicking on the delete button happens and, for that, we have the capable minds of resquoo to help us with data retrieval as well as due to tech malfunctions, or simply data transfers because you’ve moved to a new device. They’ll put contacts, pictures and songs and all your important documents back where they should be! Because we are constantly handling electronics that may contain important parts of our lives, and because we definitely don’t want to lose that, be sure to visit their website and like them on Facebook.

“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.”

The smartest choice is SalesVu iPad POS System for Seminar Brewering

Posted by salesvu

Seminar Brewing LLC is a partnership of three brewers: Bryan Fisher, Travis Knowles and John Mathias, along with business partner and project manager Dave Peters. 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.
