Entering new products or altering prices couldn t be simpler, you just enter the informa$on once into your PC and Mul$ Retail automa$cally updates your scales and $lls, allowing you to manage your business easily and efficiently from one place. It can also handle food service with a flag or table system inclusive of kitchen printers and order takers. With all sales and stock being updated on a real $me basis, then you have a handle on what is happening today. Stock coun$ng and product reordering inclusive of product labelling are all part of the solu$on. Enquires and reports let you crunch the numbers and keep control of the profitability. Using touch menus makes serving those items that aren't barcoded very easy with dedicated keyboards for different goods like fruit and veg, or food menus and pictures for difficult items like bread. 2 Links to Scales No need to go to each scale entering prices and label text, it can all be sent from the office PC and even whilst the operator is serving 3 Real me sales repor ng You don t have to wait un$l the end of trading to see what is selling or how much money you have taken or how many customers you have served

2 Touch Screens Designed with efficiency and ease-of-use as our top priori es, our touch screen so ware has a clear screen layout to make product iden fica on within general retail easier. Although we mainly aim to scan barcodes but some items may need a bu on to be served where no barcode is available. Multiple Menus Several selec on styles are available including picture bu ons for items that are too large to be scanned, difficult to iden fy or as an extra security check to ensure the correct product has been picked. The screens can also be tailored for food service with larger bu ons and more on a screen. Promotions The informa on on sales performance helps you iden fy which products you should promote and its effect on margins. Promo onal details automa cally appear on the ll screen when the barcode on the item is scanned along with related items to encourage up-selling.

3 Menu with Options Normally the design of the keyboard follows the layout of the menu such as hot drinks, cold drinks, breakfast, mains, lite bites, deserts. These can be entered in any order but will be sorted for the chef. Once the order has been entered it will be printed out as a $cket(s) to let the kitchen know what to make Food Service 1 Menu drill down As there are so many items on offer in a menu you tend to break it down into sec$ons with upto 40 products on each The design of the keyboard is the key to fast service. 2 Prepara on Op ons Table Management The tables are usually numbered and can be split into working areas. The items are sorted into courses before prin$ng on any of up to four kitchen printers. The table can be moved through the courses as served showing an overall view of the status of the table and the room including how long they have been si;ng there. Order Taking To keep the number of people using the $ll down and so less people behind the counter. we offer order taking on tablets which we supply in rugged cases.

4 Back office New systems get loaded by impor ng spreadsheets of suppliers products. Once we get the market prices it takes no me at all to enter these in and get them downloaded into the lls and scales.

5 Weigh Plate These scales weigh only and allow the ll to pick up the weight from them so that the product can be priced. They are used a lot on fruit and vegetable sales and normally the items are sold per kilo. Put the item on the scale and pick the bu on on the ll that s all it takes. Weigh Label These scales are used not only to weigh the item but also to price the sale and then produce a label to s ck on it. This label has a barcode printed on it that contains the plu number and the price.. The ll reads this barcode to add to the sale. Quite o en popular lines like cheese may be cut and priced to make them quicker to serve. Touch Screen The screen layout is configurable into groups with a range of products below them that you drill down into to choose your product to serve. As well as bu on selec on most scales will offer the ability to search by name. More advanced features like accounts can be set up for trade customers with trade prices too.
