With cloud based technology quickly on the raise this was a great article about the Pros and Cons of both at this current time.

This was a quick reference article I found that compared 20 different Hospitality Property Management Software and Systems. The article quick links to all 20 and you can surf through them to see the advantages and disadvantages to your operation.

This is a new "pay at the table" platform that debuted for restaurant and hotels. The process of payment is a very slow changing one in the American restaurant world, despite liability, and despite European markets already moving to these secure measures.

I'm posting back to back articles on this subject. 1) is a "what you need to know" about emv payment processes and liability 2) is about a new pay at the table platform The restaurant industry, despite liability, is still slow to catch up to the secure pay at the table.

I found this article interesting as we are on the verge of changing over a large portion of our payment system in restaurants here in United States. A large portion of our European industry has already made this move and the technology wave that is in the process of trying to sweep through restaurants is interesting. The dining experience includes the payment process... and the whole thing is very ritualistic, so this represents a larger shift than just switching out payment terminals and SOP's. The article itself really goes into the valuation of the wireless pos terminal industry. The discussion of needed software and hardware. Its all about credit card and personal security when you are allowing access to businesses to your bank for the payment process.
