VersiPOS Introduces New Restaurant POS Features
At VersiTech, we are committed to providing exceptional restaurant hospitality through our innovative POS technology. We constantly strive to improve our products and exceed the expectations of our valued users. Today, we are thrilled to share some exciting new restaurant POS features that will revolutionize your operations and enhance your overall experience.
To gain more insights into these upcoming features, we partnered with one of the masterminds behind our innovations, Lyssa Henin. As VersiTech's Programming Specialist and a Versi guru, Henin plays a key role in ensuring that our team is empowered and equipped to deliver outstanding service to our clients. Her dedication to customer care isn’t just a personal trait — it’s a direct embodiment of one of VersiTech’s core tenets that quality service and customer satisfaction are paramount in all we do. It’s her drive and expertise that help bring these client-centric features to life.
Now, let's dive into the new features VersiTech is bringing to the table. These features have been carefully designed to streamline your restaurant operations, simplify menu management, enhance reporting capabilities, and address common pain points in the industry.
VersiCloud Admin
Welcome to the future of restaurant management with our innovative VersiCloud Admin. This cloud-based platform places the reins of your restaurant's operations directly in your hands, no matter where you are. The internet is your doorway to instant access to your restaurant data from any device, removing the constraints of location and the need for physical presence or remote utilities.
The introduction of VersiCloud Admin truly marks the dawn of a new era. As it undergoes rigorous testing, we anticipate this platform to drastically reshape the way you navigate your restaurant's operations. In offering you real-time, remote access to your restaurant's data, VersiCloud Admin ensures you're always in command, even when you’re on the move.
Mass Menu Edits
As we all know, the cost of goods and ingredients is subject to constant fluctuations, especially in today's economy, where price changes are becoming more frequent. From rising food prices to increased operating expenses, restaurants need the flexibility to modify their prices in response to these changes. However, manually editing menu items one at a time to reflect new prices can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
With the mass-edit feature, VersiTech addresses this pain point head on. Restaurant owners and managers can effortlessly filter down to a specific category, select all relevant items, and raise or decrease the price by a set dollar amount. This capability allows for rapid adjustments across the entire menu, eliminating the need to painstakingly edit each item individually.
Enhanced Menu Management
Say goodbye to menu chaos and hello to streamlined efficiency. Menu management is getting an upgrade with an enhanced grid layout. You can easily apply a set of buttons onto the menu using a customizable grid layout, simplifying the task of adding rows and columns and adjusting their size and margins.
Additionally, the grid cleanup feature allows you to transform a group of buttons into a neat and organized grid with just a few clicks. The organization and cleanliness of your menu are crucial for efficient operations, and this will ensure your staff can find items quickly and easily.
Item Cloning
Cloning is another valuable addition to VersiPOS. Creating new items and keeping track of their specific settings can be time consuming. Our new cloning feature allows you to easily replicate the properties of similar items and make necessary adjustments. With cloning, you no longer have to manually recreate every setting for a new item. Instead, you can simply duplicate the properties of a similar item, including its price, department, modifiers, printing preferences, and more. By using this feature, you can save valuable time and effort while ensuring consistency and accuracy across your menu.
Reporting Dashboard
Comprehensive reporting is essential to managing your restaurant's performance. With the new reporting dashboard, you will have an at-a-glance view of current and historical sales reports. The widget format will provide easy access to different sections, including top-selling items and sales forecasting. This powerful tool will guide you in making informed decisions in order to drive your business forward.
Human Resources Dashboard
In addition to the reporting dashboard, we are introducing a dedicated HR dashboard. This dashboard will display widgets showing your current and historical labor reports, timecards, labor percentages, and a list of staff members on shift. Unsure who's scheduled to work? The new HR dashboard lets you stay on top of everything, including who is actively working and who is taking a break. This comprehensive overview allows you to manage your workforce and ensure smooth operations.
System Audit
We understand accountability is important for every business. Our new system-audit feature is a helpful tool that brings a new level of accountability and transparency. This feature tracks and records every change made within the VersiCloud Admin. For example, if you're modifying a timecard entry, each action is meticulously recorded and attributed to the user who initiated it.
This comprehensive audit trail provides a clear and detailed history of all system activities, promoting integrity and ensuring accountability within your business. By enabling you to track and reconcile any modifications, it provides a reliable source of information for internal audits, compliance requirements, and dispute resolutions. This transparency enhances your operational efficiency and fosters a culture of responsibility and trust among your staff.
Template Management
Templates have always been a valuable tool in VersiTech's software, allowing users to create predefined sets of buttons within their menu. We’ve made significant improvements and greatly simplified the template manager to make it much more accessible for users.
With the enhanced template-management feature, you can easily create customized templates of buttons that suit your specific menu needs. These templates serve as pre-designed layouts that can be applied to multiple screens within your menu, ensuring consistency and saving you valuable time in the menu-creation process.
Coming Soon… On-the-Fly Price Specials
In the dynamic and fast-paced restaurant industry, the ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances is essential. And soon, VersiTech will be introducing an exciting new feature––on-the-fly price-specials. Imagine you're hosting a happy hour and need to decrease the prices of select items for a specific time frame.
Traditionally, this would mean navigating through complex specialty menus and even tediously inputting temporary pricing, not to mention the potential for human errors such as mispricing items, which can cause significant issues.
That's where the upcoming on-the-fly price specials feature steps in. This new tool allows you to make immediate price adjustments directly from the item properties, enabling you to effortlessly decrease prices for the desired period. You can create a seamless customer experience during happy hour and other limited-time specials without disrupting your regular menu structure.
While the on-the-fly price-specials feature won't be included in the initial phase one release, stay tuned for its arrival in the near future. It's a game-changer that promises to uphold accurate pricing, streamline processes, and enhance your customers' experience—without any disruptions to your regular menu structure.
Change Is on the Menu
Transitioning from the current VersiPOS admin to the VersiCloud Admin may seem daunting for many of our valued customers. That's why we are committed to providing personalized support and guidance every step of the way. We plan to gradually roll out the upgrades to a few individual clients each week to avoid the chaos and confusion that could come with a mass rollout.
Each site we upgrade will have immediate access to all the new features that come with VersiCloud Admin. With that process in mind, the complete rollout to every VersiTech client will take several months to complete. Through this process, we can ensure a smooth transition and stay true to our hands-on approach and exceptional customer service.
“We're very hands-on. We train our customers on how to do everything. So it's not just about providing the tools; it's about training them on the best way to use them so they get the best use out of them for their specific needs.” — Lyssa Henin, Programming Specialist at VersiTech.
We are constantly working to improve our products and provide outstanding service. Keep an eye out for upcoming updates and announcements. We are excited to take this new journey with you and make your experience with VersiTech even more remarkable.
