Papa John’s Selects Andromeda POS Counter Service

Papa John’s, America’s number one pizza business, has become the first company to benefit from the launch of Andromeda’s new Counter Service EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) system which enables food outlets and other merchants to collate sales and other key business information in near real-time. The Counter Service system, which has been developed to integrate with Andromeda’s advanced head office system, also provides simultaneous, split second credit card transaction processing to help reduce customer queuing times.

The new Counter Service system has been designed for coffee shops, burger bars, or indeed any counter service environment where speed and fast customer service is vital. Andromeda believes that the level and detail of business information reporting, especially above store, is unrivalled in the market.

FastCard, an integrated rapid credit card processing feature of the system, provides customers with a huge advantage over traditional quick service outlets as multiple tills can process credit card transactions simultaneously in just 1.5 seconds. As well as helping to minimise queues at busy times, the ability to accept credit cards is proven to increase customer spend.

The first deployment for Andromeda’s new Counter Service system is at the Papa John’s innovative quick service outlet in Centrale, Croydon’s premier shopping centre. The system integrates with Andromeda’s advanced head office reporting, which further collates sales and other key operating information in near real time from Papa John’s’ 100+ delivery outlets. Andromeda customised the EPOS software to Papa John’s’ specific requirements.

Commenting on the launch of the Counter Service System, Ben Portsmouth, Director of Andromeda, said: “We are looking forward to bringing a fresh approach to counter service EPOS. We believe our experience in delivery EPOS gives us a head start in this market. And our operational experience will help us to meet and exceed the changing needs of our customers by tuning in exactly to their business requirements.”

Kevin Duck, Sales Manager for Andromeda, said: “Andromeda is uniquely placed to meet the changing needs of counter service operators, and as a sign of our commitment to this sector we are offering a free one-site trial installation to any operator with ten or more sites. That way we can work with operators to ensure their system is completely customised to their needs, and unlike other vendors we can provide a free above store reporting system”
