The
CCP Vice President of Sales, Charlie Jeffers, is well
known in the industry. His wide knowledge across a multitude of platforms
over many years place him in a vantage position to talk about the sector
as a whole. But these days, the only thing you will find Charlie talking
about is POSitouch: not only because that is what he sells, but also owing
to his belief in the product's efficacy in dealing with a myriad of restuarant
point-of-sale operational challenges. He was recently interviewed by
Restaurant News. Below are excerpts:
What’s
your main line of business?
CC Productions is a full featured, hospitality industry point-of-sale
systems solutions provider, and the approved dealer of POSitouch in, New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Northern Delaware, and Eastern Pennsylvania.
An IBM Business Partner, we also sell J-2, Posiflex, Epson, Dell and other
computer hardware to restaurants, quick serve, cafeterias, stadiums/arenas,
hotels, deli’s, takeout/delivery, bars, and related applications,
with 24/7 help desk and 365 day a year field support. We have installed
POSitouch at over 2,000 restaurants in 15 years in business.
What makes your company unique?
Our Windows-based software packages are unrivalled. Once you purchase
our system, you own it with all future releases for life, no more software
license renewal. This is big - no one else offers this - and our updates
are frequent and robust. Besides, an interactive training software on
all aspects of POSitouch, for both the front and back of the house, is
available. Train new employees on your system and test them, no other
product has this in the industry. You cannot put a cost justification
on these features and the benefits are huge. We make it easy for our clients
to buy systems they can easily operate. And with our expertise in technology,
we are strategically positioned to satisfy the requirements of most any
hospitality point-of-sale operations. POSitouch is the most advanced,
most convenient and fastest growing hospitality industry software. That
is why Cheese Cake Factory, OutBack, Bonefish, Pizzeria Uno, Subway, Dairy
Queen, Sbarro, and Riese have all chosen to use POSitouch; this drives
our development for the many independent operators in our area. The Windows-based,
open architecture software is easy to use, maintain and expand.
Where is your current product emphasis?

computing and handheld computers, through raid level servers, to your
regular POS machines - we have them all and the expertise to back up what

Please assess the marketplace as it relates
to your product line.
In the market today, we are witnessing the introduction of a number of
new products as customers become more sophisticated, and want to watch
their bottom line. We are well positioned to handle the emerging needs
of the market. With our experience and know-how, we have been providing
solutions in new technologies to even the most sophisticated clients across
the United States. From wireless computing to web polling, our staff are
some of the most highly rated in the industry. Particularly interesting
in this area is handheld terminals, which we have been rolling out in
large numbers. Handhelds allow orders to go to the kitchen quicker, and
come out even faster, thereby increasing turnover significantly. Thinclient
and wireless touchscreen technology, as well as XP Embedded and CE.net
for smaller, more reliable touchscreen terminals are also worthy of mention.
Inventory is integrated into POSitouch because we know everyone wants
to watch costs. Not every POS software has a robust inventory feature
like ours, and we are glad our vision places us far ahead of competition.
Another obvious advantage to our customers is the POSitouch Labor Scheduler.
Its familiar Windows interface makes it easy to use, affords better management
of employees and brings down labor costs. A myriad of Enterprise Web Solutions
can be integrated into POSitouch, making it easy to manage all hospitality
business details in one central location. We give our customers the tools
to grow their businesses quickly and inexpensively. |
