New Software Solution Allows Grocers to Enhance Customer Service with Deli/Foodservice Preparation in their Stores
DALLAS – May 7, 2007 – Retalix® (NASDAQ: RTLX), a leading provider of enterprise-wide software solutions for food retailers and distributors, announced today the release of Retalix StoreLine QSR. As an add-on module to the company’s industry leading point-of-sale (POS) application, Retalix StoreLine™, the new solution allows grocers to incorporate functionality to manage deli-preparation operations and quick service restaurants (QSR) within their stores.
Retalix StoreLine QSR, with its food service menuing capabilities, is fully integrated with Retalix StoreLine POS, Retalix Front Office and Retalix Kitchen Management System (KMS). This enables retailers to manage, order and produce full-service custom food orders within any POS transaction. It also allows store associates to create orders using the same underlying business logic and system infrastructure that’s available with Retalix StoreLine POS, assuring workflow and pricing consistencies between POS terminals while reducing overhead and maintenance costs.
Initial installations with Retalix StoreLine QSR are planned to be implemented this quarter at major grocers in the U.S. and U.K.
“The lifestyle needs of time-pressed consumers have facilitated the rise in food service at the supermarket. Retalix StoreLine QSR module simplifies the order, fulfillment and payment process of these unique items for the consumer and store associate,” said Ray Carlin, executive vice president of Retalix USA. “Retalix StoreLine QSR, like Retalix Fuel and Retalix Loyalty, is an excellent example of our using an open, integrated POS platform that helps food retailers worldwide to excel at superior customer service.”
Retalix StoreLine QSR features a colorful and intuitive, touch-based graphical user interface, reducing training time and costs for store associates. The system can be configured to accept payments or take orders only. In addition, grocery items can be accepted at the QSR lane and QSR items can be paid for at the front-end checkout lanes.
Major components are similar to stand-alone quick-service restaurants, and include customized product ordering capabilities, the Kitchen Management System (KMS), production recording, label management and an extensive set of reports such as item modifications and performance of suggestive selling and upgrade prompts, among others.
