Customer
Surveys +MX
In today's competitive market place, one of the biggest
concerns of table service restaurant operators is winning customer loyalty by pleasing
patrons enough to make them want to return to the establishment again and again.
But, how do you know if a customer is satisfied?
Aloha POS users can now offer world class customer
satisfaction survey capabilities, the same service that was previously available only to
very large restaurant chains.
Knowing what your customers are thinking is critical to
making the changes needed to keep current customers coming back and to attract new ones
through word of mouth. When changes in menu, employees, management, decor, etc. are
made, immediate feedback from a representative cross section of your customers will give
you the assurance that the right decision was made or that additional changes are needed,
and quickly. Comparing the survey results of multiple locations will provide
management with the data needed to highlight differences in customer perception and the
clues as to where to look to improve less than average performance and to learn from
exceptional performance.
Aloha is committed to providing a quality service that
works and to enhancing it over time to provide even more useful information to restaurant
owners and managers. The Aloha Customer Survey works directly with the Aloha POS
System, so survey invitations are automatically printed on the receipts without requiring
any additional actions by your employees.
Aloha Customer Surveys eliminate the tedious and expensive
task of inputting survey results as opposed to a mail-in card survey. All the data
entry is done for you. Survey results are current and are reported in a timely
fashion. All the information is summarized for you on a single page. Actual
comments can also be included. The added ability to compare locations over time
provides a means of evaluating the impact on customer satisfaction.
Because the survey invitation is incentive based, you can
expect to receive compliments as well as criticism. Not only that, you get the added
benefit of your customer returning to redeem their reward and another opportunity to serve
them. The customer gives you the valuable input you need and you are rewarded by
another return visit.
You can hear a demonstration now by calling (800)
375-0647.
Requirements:
1) Aloha POS version 4.2 RevB or higher
2) A modem
3) Ability to receive either fax or e-mail
4) TCP/IP
5) Adobe Acrobat Reader (Only if you want to receive reports via e-mail)

Enterprise.com
Aloha
Enterprise.com
has been proven to give customers a near-immediate Return On Investment,
paying for itself in the first six month.
By outsourcing a company's IT management, the need to hire high-salary,
full-time computers gurus is eliminated. By leasing system management
software rather than buying it, the need to replace expensive, obsolete
technology every few years is eliminated. By hiring professionals to
service and maintain your system, you are guaranteed reliability. And by
streamlining an information system, you save lengthy rollout and training
time. After all, time is money.
Aloha Technologies has developed a simple, yet comprehensive approach to
system management. By integrating a suite of complete management tools, we
put thorough monitoring and control capabilities at your fingertips. With
more than 2,000 installations, Aloha Enterprise has a successful track
record with over three years of operations.
It was the first web-based enterprise system in operation. When other
companies offer smoke and mirrors, Aloha delivers proven,
industry-respected reliability. Just check our reference list. In fact,
Aloha Enterprise.com is so advanced that it won both a 2001 European
Microsoft Retail Application Developer's (RAD) Award and a 2001 U.S.
Microsoft RAD Award.
Our system gives users something friendly and attractive that lets them
get up and running in no time. Aloha Enterprise.com offers the most
features in an enterprise-wide solution, with the least amount of worries
about how to use it.
Gone are the days of expensive rollouts for new software and dedicated
teams of professionals for service and installation. No more paper
transfer, data entry, manual consolidation and reporting of company
information. Aloha Enterprise.com eliminates the pains of in-house network
integration and expensive hardware purchases for items that will be
obsolete in two years. Most importantly, Aloha Enterprise.com speeds the
rollout and training for new software applications. Your new software and
hardware requirements: a simple web browser.
- Aloha
Enterprise.com is
an ASP enterprise management solution designed for foodservice companies
that don't want the recurring costs for hardware and software maintenance
and prefer to outsource this to another vendor.
- Enterprise
Professional Edition is tailored for smaller companies that are not
comfortable with the ASP model and require a solution that can operate at
their corporate office on a single server.

Enterprise.com
CDM
The Centralized
Data Management (CDM) feature of Enterprise.com empowers you with the management
of data from a central location, thus significantly simplifying your restaurant
operations. It also eliminates duplicate data entry of POS menu items,
promotions, comps, and other data, which decreases the chance for error, because
with CDM, the data is entered only once by the central site user, and then sent
via the Internet to the store sites that need the update.
CDM provides the
ability to differentiate between corporate-owned and store-owned data, allowing
for shared ownership between corporate and the store. For example, employee data
– such as adding and terminating an employee – is considered store-owned,
but sales items – such as menu changes and price changes – can be designated
as corporate owned, or perhaps "shared", meaning the data can be
updated by either the corporate user, or the store site user. With CDM, data
ownership is entirely up to headquarters, and how much control they want to have
over company POS data.
The CDM set of
tools enables corporate to control all aspects of a POS database from a central
location, and distribute updates to the stores. Using the centralized model
allows customers to eliminate redundant entry of critical data such as tax or
menu item setup – encouraging managers to attend to other mission-critical
aspects of their business, like servicing the guests, food preparation, and
training employees.
CDM can be
purchased as a stand-alone product or integrated with the Aloha Enterprise.com
suite of products. CDM as a standalone product requires the company to provide
its own mechanism for the data distribution. The powerful CDM suite is built-in
to the Aloha Enterprise.com platform, which allows Enterprise users to
seamlessly distribute all data updates to each store, using highly redundant and
well-proven Internet communications software.
