Overview
The Unified Platform allows Clubs to manage their Dining Reservations seamlessly across the Reservations System into the Office Food and Beverage POS System; ensuring Administration, Members, and the Dining Staff have the tools they need to reserve and manage the Club’s Dining experience. Use Case(s) A Club may wish to allow their Members to register for Dining Reservations utilizing the on-line Reservations system. Additionally, the Club may also utilize the Clubessential Office Product, with Food and Beverage POS fully implemented in their Dining facilities. In addition to allowing the Members to make reservations online, the Club is interested in assisting Members who call-in or walk-up with making a Dining Reservation. Daily, the Club would also like the Food and Beverage areas of their Club to have integrated visibility and editing capabilities to the Dining Reservations, be able to easily convert the reservations into POS dining tickets; assign tables and servers to the Reservations, add items to the Tickets, and ultimately charge their Members. The Unified Suite provides the Club with the ability to meet their goals. |
