How much better could your club
do if it had Open Solutions?
In today’s increasingly cashless environment,
your club needs a card-driven EPoS system. The
choice of such systems is wide, but when you
add in the needs for an EPoS system:
- With all sorts of useful features, from variable
discounting to product promotions
- Which is easy to learn and use
- Which provides comprehensive
reporting
- That ensures your staff are
well trained
- That works seamlessly with
a choice of PDQ machines
- And which is very well
supported year on year…
…and you’re a cricket club
that wants to improve both the
services for your members, and
your bottom line, then it makes
sense to listen to what other customers
say about Open Solutions.
Walton & Frinton Yacht Club: going
cashless, strengthening its bottom line,
better services
As club manager Steve Gregory explains:
“At the time, our club’s existing EPoS system
couldn’t accommodate cards and discounts, so
its members couldn’t enjoy the same privilege of
discounted drinks that the other club’s members
enjoyed.”
“We’ve kept our use of the new EPoS system
pretty straightforward, making the cards optional
with a 10% discount on drinks to encourage
members to take them up and place money on
their club based account. Currently around
60% of the membership now have
club cards and use them regularly,
placing anywhere between a
few quid to cover a round, to
£100 on a regular basis.”
“Those members now use
their cards automatically,
some just by remembering
their membership card
number when asked at the
bar. When staff recognise a
member they can place their
order on that member’s account.”
Nowadays, there’s far less
need for any club to handle cash, so
this yacht club’s fast becoming completely
cashless, as Gregory explains: “We moved to
a card based EPoS system as an initial step to
making the club largely cashless, as part of our
drive to improve security at the club. With the
majority of the members now using their cards, in
May this year we’re moving one step nearer that
goal and will be encouraging every member to
take up their card.”
