The operational requirements of a restaurant need to be
revisited many times while the restaurant experiences growth.
Whether a restaurant maintains one or a number of sites,
it has to look for an affordable, user-friendly package
of POS solutions that accelerates the growth of the restaurant
and addresses issues like
• How to make the restaurant business
more efficient and reliable – minimizing the risk for
failures?
• How to ensure and maintain quality standards?
• How to make more profits? And increase business?
• How to win customers and make them permanent, loyal
customers?
• How to manage cash flow?
• How to manage inventory?
• How to manage employees?
• How to be certain about the business security?
• How to keep your expense at the minimum and your profits
at the maximum
In
any stage of restaurant operations, Point of Sale (POS) technology
has become an imperative for today’s restaurant business.
“Must Have’s” include a Monitoring Security
System, a Business Management Program, or other means to provide
ease of transaction, operation security, secure access and
organization of critical information, ample storage, saving
time and minimizing mistakes in manual processing, cost control,
and better monitoring of cash flow and built in alerts to
the system, resulting in substantial savings in money, time
and aggravation. Restaurant owners search for a reliable one
stop shopping provider of these services.
A notable company on the scene is ITC. Established in 1989, and based in
the New York metro area, ITC. has an impressive 16-year

their unique package of integrated products and services to
