The professional paper-free way to take food and drinks orders. This revolutionary App for hand-held devices like Smartphones, Tablets or iPods has been designed and developed specifically for the hospitality industry. At the touch of a screen orders are recorded and processed straight to the heart of the kitchen from the waiting staff’s device.  In conjunction with a wireless credit card terminal, orders can be paid for at the table.

The user interface has an intuitive and user-friendly layout, allowing waiters to be operative with fewer clicks.

This module connects computerized tills directly to the Payment Terminals  (Ingenico) . The program sends the billing amount to the Payment Terminal upon setting up the right payment mode on the Lasersoft software solution; the transaction is then activated. If the transaction is properly finalized, the receipt is issued, otherwise an error message appears, receipt is not printed and it goes back to display the till functions asking for a different modality of payment. 

This module enables visualization over a second screen connected to the till-PC showing three types of information at the same time: multimedia advertising contents (video, images), text advertising contents (information about promotions, discounts, opening and closing times, events), and details of the bought product at the moment of payment.

The second screen can replace the welcome screen.

This module allows connecting the Lasersoft software solutions with electronic scales.

With Gerì Automation the scale is used to weigh the sold food item (i.e.: meat by weight, fish), automatically calculating their price and assigning it to the right table, by inserting the table number. The computed amount is then directly added to the client’s bill.

With Retail Shop Automation the module automatically transmits all the items to be weighed and prices transferred and loaded into the Point of sale System to the scales. This will allow the retailer to load SKU only once. The second feature of the Scale Connection Module allows the connection of a scales in a network, for the management of an accumulative ticket. The accumulative ticket is a barcode sticker which contains the weights of several items.

This module is also called ‘Business Intelligence’ and it overcomes limitations affecting standard databases. In fact, relational databases are not able to elaborate data instantaneously or visualize a lot of data at the same time. This program creates statistics and graphics from any data source, in a very short time and autonomously, and it provides an analytic report of clients’ attendance.

Main functions:

• Promotion

Associate a card with discounts, price lists or to collect bonus points for promotions. It is not possible to pay by card as cards are only used to identify customers and providing them with special promotions (i.e.: giving them a discount or the possibility to access to special price lists)

• Fidelity

Fidelity card is a useful tool for client’s identification and it is a loyalty symbol for the business. This module allows fidelity card management, client’s identification and associating promotions and discounts to the client. The following cards are accepted: chip cards (or smart cards), barcode or magnetic cards, transponder card, loyalty card on customers’ phone (SMS Card Module)

• Payment

1. Prepaid card. Clients put money onto the card and money will be taken off anytime a transaction occurs;
2. Credit Card. It associates a loyalty debit account with a client. At the end of a set period or when exiting the business place, the customer will present the card and the card reading will visualize expenses and due payments.

• Clients’ profile definition

It manages and monitors relational marketing. This option identifies precisely clients’ tastes based on consumer’s behaviour. In this way, it is possible to target the offer and rationalise suppliers’ orders. Assign loyal clients a prepaid card or a card with a fixed ceiling. The card can be used at any POS within the business (i.e.: at restaurant/bar tables, on the beach, at the disco) and the amount will be taken off the card balance. 

This module is designed to manage the fidelity card via the web on devices that are not connected to each other. In this way, a client can be identified and his/her promotions can be used among different businesses that are not connected to each other. 

This module replaces the traditional paper cards or plastic point of sale cards with a loyalty card on customers’ phone.

The SMS Card is an image containing a bar code or a QR code. At time of payment customers have to show the image and get the benefits of the loyalty program.

This module sends an SMS to clients directly from the Lasersoft software. Messages can be sent directly to single clients or to a list of clients. 

Advantages:

• Keeping in touch with your clients;
• Saving time and money;
• increase prestige, and; 
• rapid and effective communication.

NB! It is necessary a traditional mobile phone not a smartphone.

Thanks to this module and the ad hoc development of Lasersoft software, clients can give consent to data treatment onto a pre-programmed tablet. In this way, the restaurant is protected and it does not have to print and archive paper sheets about privacy regulations. The same module allows through a scanner machine to digitize and archive suppliers’ original documents and then store them together with warehouse documents or invoices.  In this way, all documents can be properly stored reducing the possibility to lose them.

This program allows real time monitoring of presences, accesses, timetables of internal staff and it provides a report including statistics about staff movements. It manages the presences of both full-time and part-time staff and monitors employees’ entries and exits and their timetables. 

This module transforms a Windows Xp, Vista, Windows7 or 8 (professional version) in a Terminal Server. In this way, a user, upon providing username and password, can connect to his restaurant or office from any PC with an internet connection, without interfering with the work of the staff at the place of business. This module allows distance monitoring of all the business activities. In fact, the user can access all enabled program functions: master data of sold items, warehouse transactions, clients’ data and statistics. It is also possible to print all data.  There are two versions of this module: up to five users at the same time or unlimited number of users can have access to it.  

The ‘Disaster Recovery’ as it allows immediate data recovery without a technician’s support. The module is styled on a USB key where updates are automatically saved as well as users’ operations and transactions.

Critical situations can occur such as failures of hardware components or lack of electrical power. The module enables automatic saving of any business operation. In critical times, the USB key should be unplugged from the non functioning PC and connected to a functioning one. The work can be continued and no data is lost.The activation key, the program and the archive are automatically updated with no need for additional technical support. Everything is saved on the recovery key.

This module allows, where requested, the connection of the software solution to a fiscal printer or a traditional ECR.  

This specific module is able to connect to any type of fiscal printer and till available on the markets where the fiscal law is implemented. On the  fiscal printers it is possible to print a fiscal receipt, an invoice as well as a non-fiscal document (i.e.: proforma), it depends on the type of printer.

Directly from the user interface touchscreen it is possible to command and print the daily fiscal closure.

This monitor is installed in the place where orders are prepared and it provides a general overview of the orders. The system is set to show specific dish preparation, helping the staff to focus on one specific part of the order, although an overview of all the orders is always available. This information helps managing and preparing orders, providing a faster service to the clients and reducing the possibility of making mistakes. It also allows visualizing sequence and status of dishes preparation by using icons with different colours. 

The Take Away module has been designed for businesses that need to manage pizza bookings or other home delivery services. This module is very flexible and can be used for other types of businesses such as ice-cream shops or pastry shops for the collection of received orders.The module is linked to clients’ database and allows orders registering, visualizing the chronology of orders preparation so that the supervisor is always aware of the workload of the pizza oven department or the kitchen.Furthermore, it is possible to connect a dedicated modem allowing the identification of any person calling the business, just by recognizing the phone number; the order will be inserted in a proper screen, without using the keyboard. 

This module establishes access modalities to the program functions or allows them to be unblocked by using a transponder card, iButtons Dallas or a Chipcard tools.Each user can be provided with a single-user card that allows him /her to unblock a workstation or enable some functions only.

In Gerì Automation, the access card can be used instead of the password. The identification card is a safe and inviolable tool.
