SpeedLine to showcase release 5.6 at pizza show

LYNDEN, Wash. — Operational efficiency and ease of use are the focus of POS maker SpeedLine's latest release, version 5.6.

 

According to a news release, the new release boosts the efficiency of order entry and tip handling to credit card security and driver cash-out. In all, the refinements and new capabilities in SpeedLine 5.6 address nearly 200 specific customer requests.

 

"After the extensive new feature set introduced in SpeedLine 5.5, we felt it was important in this new release to focus on all the little details that can make a difference between efficient operations and extra steps," said Terry Haan, vice president of development at SpeedLine. "Anywhere we saw that we could help restaurant operators do something faster and more easily, and with better control, that's where we focused our attention in this release."

 

Automatic driver cash-out on return simplifies cash control and improves coupon tracking accuracy, while streamlined tip handling makes the system easier to use in a table-service environment. Hourly statistics provide managers the information they need at a glance to control costs. Inventory improvements speed up purchasing, receiving and inventory setup tasks.

 

Other enhancements include order entry improvements for carryout and delivery orders, expedited kitchen monitor settings for quick-service restaurants, shortcuts for creating coupons and new additions to SpeedLine's extensive set of back office reports.

 

In addition, the company will announce a breakthrough in third-party ordering service during the Northeast Pizza Show in Atlantic City, Sept. 13-14.
