CenterEdge Advantage vs. Northstar Restaurant POS

Any FEC small or big can benefit from CenterEdge. It pulls your entire facility together under one point of sale. Groups, redemption prizes, Bowling modules, Laser Tag modules, webstore, kiosks...just to name a few. As CenterEdge is relatively young they are growing and expanding at a rate that can not be ignored and we are glad to have them back at our locations.

The Northstar Restaurant POS is the POS system specifically designed for Country Clubs. It works well in a Country Club scenario where things need to be customized to member preferences, and there are a large number of menu items. If there is a restaurant where the menu is simpler, without as much customization needed, the Northstar Restaurant POS may be a bit too large and cumbersome. The Northstar Restaurant POS is good for detail but not necessarily speed.

• Point of sale. The interface is very user friendly and can get very granular on how you want to ring in guests not only at the point of sale but from a groups perspective as well.
• Modular. There are so many great integrations with CenterEdge from inventory tracking to Laser Tag modules and if they don't have it, chances are they will very soon.
• Groups. This is how we make a good amount of our income and CenterEdge really helps us deliver a great guest experience from the time the sale is made to the time the guest leave the building after their event.

Incentivized

• Very Customizable
• Allows for a large number of items to be added
• Same system can be used at multiple locations

• External Employee Scheduling. CenterEdge has its own scheduler but in today's high tech world there needs to be more integration with big companies like When to Work and HotSchedules.
• F&B Recipe creation and management could be a little easier but it still does a good job.

Incentivized

• Once an item is in the system it cannot be removed
• Can be complicated on the back end if prices need adjusted
• If you have a large customized menu, the tableside POS does function properly

Micros is great for the restaurant industry, but we're not that. We are an FEC with MANY activities under one roof including F & B, but Micros just could not handle keep track of everything we offer to our guests. Centeredge does that and more. If you are a bar/restaurant then Micros is for you. But if you are an FEC with many different offerings and you want to have control over your sales, don't think...choose CenterEdge.

I have not used any other restaurant POS systems. I have heard there are more robust restaurant POS systems available; however, very few of them are so customizable for our needs. Being a Country Club, our focus is on member service. Northstar Restaurant POS allows us to have a large number of menu items available so we can serve our members effectively.

Incentivized

• Reporting. We can see exactly where our income is coming from and going with how granular the reporting is. No losses here!
• Coupons and Discounts. We are in full control of our discounts and how often they are used, something that our previous POS could not give us.
• Ease of use. I said it before and I'll say it again because it is true. It's easy! And who doesn't love easy???

Incentivized

• Northstar Restaurant POS has allowed us to track sales items, remove poor sellers, and add new items to keep our menu fresh.
• We are able to easily adjust pricing to reflect current market trends.
• We are able to do a mass price adjustment to our entire menu if necessary.
