"We were looking for a flexible and reliable point-of-sale solution for our food and beverage operation, and the InfoGenesis POS system provided exactly what we needed," said Bart Mahoney, managing partner of Munchbar. "We also wanted a solution that would help us address labor costs, which are typically a restaurant's highest controllable cost. The TMx solution enables us to integrate employee scheduling, time and attendance, human resources and labor forecasting functions into the InfoGenesis POS system, so that we can keep a close watch on costs and operate at peak efficiency. As a result, we can focus our efforts on delivering an exceptional guest experience."

Real-time access to information enables food and beverage managers to provide more efficient service and reduce potential losses. Features of the InfoGenesis POS solution include audit log and electronic journal, multi-language capability, packages and prix fixe menus, signature capture and advanced sorting, filtering and grouping options.

The TMx time management solution is a comprehensive labor management software system that enables hospitality providers to improve the efficiency and productivity of their workforce. It includes a variety of features and functionality, such as performance-based scheduling, embedded workflow for employee hiring and multiple time-capture solutions. With the TMx solution, customers can create labor forecasts, transfer employee time records and allocate tips, sales and other collectibles.
