With this level of detail and care we can ensure that your staff will be fully capable of using the solution from day one.

04. Data Management Services

We offer a full database management service based on your needs and requirements. We have been successfully developing databases for our clients for years, and pride ourselves on understanding what you want to achieve and delivering on time and on budget.

  • Adding new employees
  • Price changes and name changes
  • Major menu changes
  • Promotions
  • Table plans
  • Configuration changes

In addition, we offer a full data migration service so you can enjoy a fast transition of your existing system data – for example, we can import your menus from Excel into our point of sale.

We work closely with our group clients so these changes are applied at the level required. Whether it is across the group or at store level, we can tailor the service in a highly granular fashion. We make it easy, for example, to deploy price promotions across a whole group at a predefined time. We also put these changes through a vigorous testing programme so everything works first time.
