TORONTO, ON, August 11, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Canadian point of sale software developer Volante Systems has announced their expansion into the retirement community point of sale market, with the Volante "Multi-Meal" software product.
Understanding the importance of knowing each resident's special needs, interests and dining requirements, Volante has designed a point of sale and administration back office POS system tailored specifically to retirement communities and assisted living facilities.
Volante has already penetrated the nursing home industry via a recent partnership with NCR at Toronto's Baycrest, a premier academic health sciences center focused on aging. Baycrest provides care and service to approximately 2,000 seniors a day through its Geriatric Health Care System.
Multi Meal tracks all types of meal plans, activity programs and services right at the point of sale terminal. Detailed, real time reporting along with photo identification provides accurate and important information to staff and family members anywhere, anytime like allergy alerts, request notices, special needs and assistance.
Multi-Meal also offers a full reporting suite to aid management decision-making. The suite is designed to provide clear insight into all aspects of your business. All the information needed is generated on demand, quickly and easily. Tailored summary reporting, drill down capability and report exporting features assists management in optimizing time spent managing business operations.
Implementing this type of technology was a big step forward for a facility such as Baycrest, which has already seen the benefits. "We've definitely noticed more accurate tax reporting." says Andrea Bronstein, Project Manager at Baycrest. "We're now also keeping better track of actual sales, inventory control, etc. Everything is now streamlined, so the cost benefits will be sure to come."
A convenient "cashless" system authorizes the purchases of retail items, additional breakfast, lunch and dinners along with special activity programs and services offered at the retirement facility. Friends and families will also appreciate the flexibility of paying with cash, credit and debit also available with Volante Multi-Meal.
