New cloud-based, point-of-sale system especially designed for quick
service and table service restaurants that is easy to use and affordable
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2014--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, today announced the launch of NCR
Silver Pro Restaurant Edition (Silver Pro), a new point-of-sale
(POS) solution for North American small- and medium-sized restaurants.
Silver Pro uses the NCR SilverTM Small Business Platform with
built-in customer engagement tools, simple analytics and online reports,
and turns any iPad® and iPad Mini® running the
latest iOS® into a powerful POS.
“NCR has a history of creating solutions for independent and multi-unit
restaurant operators. To meet the needs of a growing segment of the
small business market, that is underserved by technology today, we
combined our vast experience in delivering the industry-leading Aloha
POS with the NCR Silver Small Business Platform to create Silver Pro,”
said Paul Langenbahn, president, NCR Hospitality. “With the addition of
NCR Silver Pro to our restaurant solution portfolio, we are now able to
meet the technology needs for restaurants of any size, shape or concept.”
According to National Restaurant Association research, operators across
segments plan to allocate a larger proportion of their budget and other
resources to technology in 2014. The fast casual restaurant segment is
leading the way with nearly half of operators saying they will increase
their tech budgets in the coming year for both front- and
back-of-the-house.
Silver Pro packs in key functionality making it easier to manage
workflow, including:
-
Advanced Modifiers - gives servers complete control to
customize orders so kitchen staff prepares the right order every time
keeping customers happy.
-
Multi-printer Kitchen Routing - makes it easy for service staff
to route orders directly to the kitchen, bar or any other station.
-
Table Assignments - simplifies workflow to save time and
improve customer service with floor plans that are easy to update.
-
Delivery and Takeout - lets quick service and fast casual
businesses separate orders for dine-in and dine-out, making it easy to
serve up a great customer experience, while improving kitchen
operations.
“Silver Pro has delivered great results for my restaurant. It is the
right POS solution for us and I could not envision using anything else.
We have really modernized our business with Silver Pro Restaurant
Edition, especially because of the kitchen routing,” said Brent Reaves,
president, Smokey John’s BBQ. “And I am able to save several hours per
week in payroll processing thanks to the time clock solution that is
part of the point of sale.”
Silver Pro is a cloud-based POS, and provides restaurant operators’
flexibility. Operators can securely access their business metrics and
reports in real-time, from any web browser including a smartphone.
Additionally, timesaving features like Time Clock, make it easy to
process payroll, and Shift Management makes tracking cash flow seamless.
“By leveraging the NCR Silver Small Business Platform, we were able to
add and enhance features in Silver Pro, while maintaining core features
like email marketing, multi-store, and online reporting that help our
customers manage a more profitable business," said, Justin Hotard,
general manager, NCR Silver.
Silver Pro is an affordable, powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use POS
solution to support small- and medium-sized restaurants that are
underserved in many ways by technology today. Designed to run on the iPad®
and the iPad Mini®, this software is available
now on the Apple App Store.
