Integrated Point of Sale System (POS)

Gift Cards

Gift cards can easily be purchased and redeemed right on the site. Customers are also able to send gift cards to a friend, which makes for an excellent word of mouth promotional vehicle.

Referrals

Another great way to spread the word is to initiate a referral reward program for your clients. We've already integrated this feature into the system so it's just a matter of determining how you want to use it to reward your users and generate new business.

Coupons

Coupons can be issued with customized validity periods and redeemed online.- validity periods

Newsletter manager

Sending out monthly newsletters to clients and potential new customers is a great way of reminding them of new promotions, menu updates, and general news they may be interested in. EATS comes ready to manage subscribing and unsubscribing of email addresses.

Reporting

Having detailed information on core aspects of your business isn't just handy, it's essential for success. EATS' tools give you detailed reports on all your customers, orders, sales, inventory, ingredients, and more.

Session Scheduling

Customers choose the assembly session they're interested in attending before they make their order. This ensures that the customer will be available for one of your sessions before they put an order through your system, easily keeping things organized and efficient.

Customer Management

All customer account information is securely stored online and includes the ability to add/edit customer info, track their orders, and view session information. This lets you easily identify customer trends and areas of opportunity for increasing sales.

Shopping Cart

Add, remove, checkout. It's not rocket science in theory but there's a world of difference between a poor shopping cart experience and an excellent one. Ours is excellent.

Reminder emails

Communicating with customers at just the right time can mean the difference between poor and excellent customer experience. Set up automated emails to remind your customers of their sessions, thank them for their business, even say hello on their birthdays to wish them the best and let them know the latest promotions.

New Features in EATS 1.6 - May 2007

Ingredient management

EATS clients can choose to use our extensive ingredient database (provided with the 1.6 update) or they can import their own supplier and ingredient information. What does this look like? »

Product categorization

By far one of our most-requested features, product categorization is here. The EATS administrator can set up your menu to be split into several different categories. Regular/Lite? Regular/Vegetarian? Beef/Chicken/Pork/Fish? Fullsize/Halfsize? The sky's the limit with this feature. We've also built in non-categorized full size and half size pricing. What does this look like? »

Franchise and employee permissions

Franchises can now have price modifiers set based on store. Franchises and employees can be given different permissions; now, different levels of users can edit things that are only relevant to them or their duties.

Prep/assembly/cooking list reports

All EATS clients now have access to attractive, concise list reports. Prep and assembly lists can be generated for each session with prep and assembly instructions, for staff or to be placed at workstations. Cooking instruction reports can be sent home with the customer with a handy "schedule your next session" checkbox after all meals have been prepared. What does this look like? »

We are very excited to show our EATS family these changes we've been working on. Enjoy version 1.6 and happy spring!
