Industry = Food & Beverage

Press Release Summary = Customers, Employees, Managers and Sales Staff are all
affected by your POS cash register system. Purchasing a system that is fully
supported and gives you all the management tools you need may be the best investment
you\'ll ever make.

Press Release Body = The Slope Report read, "excellent conditions". It was cold but
sunny and the slopes were full of skiers and snowboarders. The powder? Perfect. A
group of skiers were headed toward the lodge bar. Inside the bar they waited
patiently as the bartender keyed in their seating numbers, drinks and bar tab. It
took over four minutes for them to get their drinks; the same amount of time it took
for them to decide on dinner at another pub.

Capturing the skiers during a weather-perfect season is simple. Capturing their
food and beverage business isn't always so easy. It requires not only need a
customer-friendly environment, but also a user-friendly POS (point of sale) cash
register system for efficiency. Today's technology provides this.and more.

POS cash register terminals that continuously synchronize with each other, endless
report options, alcohol inventory controlled by bottle weights and computerized tap
monitors, staff time and attendance, ski, school, and guest database management, and
so much more are available. Let's face it. It takes more than cooperative weather
to run a ski resort.

So, when choosing a POS software system, be certain to explore all the options.
Cost is always a factor, but unless the software gives you all the management tools
you need and is fully supported, an initially less expensive system can end up
costing you much more. There are as many point of sale cash register systems
available as there are skis and choosing the right one can be confusing and
time-consuming.

Aside from meeting technological requirements, your POS system must remain easy to
use, with speed and accuracy. Customers, Employees, Managers and Sales Staff are
all affected by a point of sale system. So, imagine first what you would like the
ideal computer cash register system to do for your resort; make a list of features
you hope to find. Chances are you'll find all of them on today's market.

One software company that stands out above the rest is Canadian based Tesoro
Technologies, Incorporated. Wired or wireless, Windows or Linux, networked or
independent terminals, their Volante POS System is up for any challenge. Since
1993, Volante System developers have been designing equipment that is "cash register
tough and computer smart" to serve some of the biggest and best.

Snow Valley Ski Resort, located in Barrie, Ontario, wanted a POS system that could
produce ID cards and time passes, manage a client database and ski school, as well
as handling all their food and beverage and retail services. The geographical
location had Director, Peter Haney, concerned at first. " Like most ski resorts, we
are very remote. We needed a satellite tower and wireless system. We also looked
at a lot of providers and found that most of the companies didn't offer the
hospitality end we needed. Volante is hospitality."

Tesoro had to install a fail-safe, independently running system for the remote
summit area that could also be integrated with the high volume operations below.
Using both wired and wireless network topology, their system has operated without
software failure despite the unstable power and network issues. Snow Valley Ski
Resort also utilizes the database of guests and 5,800 pass holders to generate email
broadcasts, which enhances their marketing plan. "We're real pleased with Volante.
It's an entity that grows and evolves along with our business," says Haney.

In fact, Volante has revolutionized the wireless POS industry. Their creative
approach to wireless mobile computing makes Volanté the perfect POS software choice
for not only ski resorts, but for other venues as well, such as stadiums, trade
shows, casinos, arenas, race tracks and outdoor sales areas where conventional POS
cash register systems aren\'t practical nor feasible.

Tesoro Technologies, Inc. may be at the forefront of a new generation of guest
management technology, but they're still producing. Recent breakthroughs in point
of sale development are allowing a full range of services and back office
capabilities never before considered. For more information on how Tesoro and
Volante POS systems can help your business, contact them through their website,

So, when you're looking for a more efficient POS cash register system that can
create "excellent conditions" for your business, spend the extra time researching
your options - it may turn out to be the best investment you'll ever make.
