    Samsung LYNK is the new alternative to traditional Digital Rights Management (DRM)  in the hospitality industry. DRM is the hotels way of controlling and maintaining protection of copyrighted material through the use of technological tools. With tools such as Samsung LYNK copyrighted materials such as music and movies can be used on hotel premises without allowing residents to duplicate material. The LYNK provides cost saving efficient solutions that can all be controlled in a remote secure way. Not to mention, all DRM control can be done through hotel room televisions.

    This article was about this new Samsung technology that is now on the market that is better than the traditional DRM softwear that most hospitality firms still use. The article stated "Samsung invested in a multi-year effort to secure the highly selective Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator (DTLA) approval, running the technology through rigorous forensic testing to pass just the first level of approval". This showed that the softerwear was thoroughly tested before it was put on the market ensuring its security. Also the article talked about how it saves money because of the lack of labor required with this system and how it creates a better guest experience because it fosters a home away from home technology environment.

Trends in Point of Sale - 1 views

  • adio Frequency Identification (RFID1) Devices – These devices allow speedy payment processing. Consequently, they reduce checkout time and the ease of payment often increases average purchase. Depending upon the level of sophistication, some systems can even transmit loyalty and CRM data. Such systems are especially useful for QSR and, indeed, some restaurants have already started using them.
  • Wireless Devices/Mobile POS – When these were introduced, they were not very popular. Line of sight was an important issue and, more often that not, servers were busy looking at their handheld screens as opposed to focusing on their guests. The net result was handheld terminals stayed away for a while.
  • Like hotels, restaurants have access to a wealth of data about their customers, which can be collected and put to good use. For example, data can be used to track customer preferences and buying habits for frequent diner programs and other loyalty offerings. It can also be used for effective and customized service delivery. In addition, DRM has a highly complementary value for the lodging industry, where customer behaviors and preferences are already tracked. Challenges for restaurants include how to store and use customer information on the front line.

  • Colors intuitively reflect a room’s status. We see the same in restaurants today – different colors for vacant, occupied and vacant not cleaned. Tracking status and orders for each table enables faster table turns and better service. In addition, linking to the frequent diner database can enable customized service. More obviously, these systems link to pager systems and reduce table wait times, which lead to happy customers and more profits.
