Announcement posted by Meza Hospitality Solutions 09 Feb 2015

The game-changing software that will optimise the way you run your business.

The Meza Control App is the latest cloud based restaurant management system that promises to transform the way restaurants operate. It’s more than a super smart POS system, it’s a complete venue management system with innovative features including remote management and in depth reporting.

Meza is the software solution that finally provides the type of efficiency and overall control restaurant owners and managers in Australia have been crying out for. It’s a simple, yet extraordinarily sophisticated app that promises to do everything you want and quite a bit more. So, how does it work?

Meza software takes the form of a clever iPad app, much like the ones we’ve all become accustomed to. From your iPad you’re now able perform all the functions of running a restaurant. It takes care of placing and tracking orders, table management, staff communication and all the POS bells and whistles you need. Cash up, split billing, discounts, cash or card payments are made easy. It’s the app with which you can run your entire business.

As a manager or owner you don’t even have to be at the venue, Meza makes remote management an absolute reality. Whether you’re on the run, at home or on holiday you can have full access to what’s going on in your venue, find out how full or empty you are, who’s working, what’s being ordered, and importantly how much money are you making!

When it comes to Meza the keyword is ‘efficiency’. The Meza Control App tracks all of the activity within your venue and creates a central point of information that everyone has access to. This speeds up processes, optimises customer service, staff communication and empowers managers and staff like never before.

There are those that remain sceptical of restaurant management systems or POS systems, which have in the past been limited or cumbersome. But, those concerns are fully laid to rest with Meza says founder Barry Schutte. He goes on to say, “Once you have Meza, you simply don’t need anything else. It does everything.”

And what about implementation? A key aim for Meza is seamless integration, requiring minimal hardware, training or installation. You can switch over to using Meza within a day. Getting started is incredibly easy; all you need is an iPad, the app, a cashdrawer, a WiFi router and a printer if you would like receipts. Setting up the app is a simple, fully customisable process with a smart intuitive back-end that allows users to edit menus, alter pricing and apply specials, discounts, surcharges and much more. For those who get stuck, Meza also offers great instructional videos on all back-end and other user processes, as well as full-time customer support.

Because everything happening in the venue runs through the Meza app, every little bit is recorded and can be viewed through in-depth reporting. This is the ideal platform from which to maximise the potential of your business. Find out what’s selling and when, or see what’s not selling, which tables are used most often and when you need more or less staff. In summary, it lets you see where you are making your money and where are you losing it. Reporting options are endless, giving you the ability to invaluable performance data. We all know the restaurant business is in essence a numbers game, and now there’s a software that allows you to be in control, trim the unneeded fat, and get your restaurant fighting fit.

Finally Meza offers great added benefits as part of their do-it-all package. Meza have now integrated with Xero, a top online accounting software, as well as a brilliant staff rostering software. As a really useful added perk, Meza also has a super smart customer app that’s great for regulars. Free to download from the AppStore, customers can use the app to call waiters, place orders, jump the queue and even settle the bill from their table. It’s a nice touch, and some customers will really take to the novelty of it. The real value for managers and owners is the opportunity to record customer preferences and orders and offer a unique personal customer experience for regulars using the app.

So, what’s the catch here? Well, there doesn’t really to seem to be one. The app is easy, it’s affordable, intuitive and incredibly smart. Overall, it seems Meza is set to make big waves in the industry, a no brainer for progressive thinking business owners who want to maximise efficiency and take their business by the horns.
