Andromeda launches new version of Rameses EPOS System

Andromeda, the leading provider of award-winning delivery EPOS systems and internet ordering solutions, announced today that the latest version of its ‘Rameses’ EPOS system is now being issued for general release to all customers.

This phase of the roll out will be completed by the end of June.

• Suggestive selling prompts have been improved.
• Order status for repeat callers, even before the operator opens the order entry screen.

• Dispatching: Improved highlighting of orders that are potentially late.
• Driver float management, order allocation and tracking are all enhanced.
• Management: Menu items and meal deals can now be set to only be available by day, time or occasion – lunch time specials will not appear in the evening, for example.
