The challenge: “sourcing anEPoS solution that could meetthe demands of a business thatserves up to 2500 diners at anyone time”

Even before opening its doors in Leeds,Fazenda instinctively knew that theone fundamental business tool itwould need to service its customersand get its business off the ground wasan Electronic Point of Sale solution(EpoS).

Tomas Maunier, Sales & MarketingDirector at Fazenda said, ”Knowing weneeded a premium EPoS system was a‘no brainer’ as it would enable therestaurant to thrive and account forevery requirement from food orderingto financial reporting. The challengewas sourcing an EPoS solution thatcould meet the demanding needs of athriving, growing business.”

The Solution: pointOne EPoScame ‘highly recommended’

Tomas explains the selection process,“After a bit of networking, it didn’ttake long to discover that a restaurantbased in London, Santa Maria, wereusing pointOne and they weredelighted with the product and thecompany. This gave me the confidenceto approach pointOne and after anexcellent demonstration we decided toinstall the system”.

The installation went well, andpointOne were “very accommodatingwith regards to our business situation”said Tomas.

Results: Reliability and thecomprehensive set of toolsprovided by pointOne is key for ahigh volume turnover restaurant

Fazenda with its continuous table sideservice is a high volume turnoverrestaurant, and understandably the tillsare continually in use and despite thesepressures, overall the reliability of theEPoS “has been very good” said Tomas.Fazenda also has handheld terminals atthe Leeds site, but generally thepointOne tills take the strain of theircustomer orders.

Currently on a weekly basis the Leedsrestaurant is serving around 2,500customers a week and the “EpoS tillsare performing really well” said Tomas.By comparison Fazenda’s sites inLiverpool and Manchester servearound 1,500 to 2,000 diners,according to demand, as business inthese restaurants tend to fluctuate,however “without pointOne EPoS itsimply would not be possible toturnover this type of business acrossour sites” said Tomas.
