Setting up a Dog Cafe is an exciting project. At first look it was simple, It’s just a cafe setup. Needless to say things got a little complex as we got to know the business model more. There were two main requirements. Dog house the cafe for pets had two menus, One for humans and the other for the dogs. They they had the retail section.
The owner AJ wanted to have the two menus separated on two pos units, talking to two different kitchens yet be able to talk to each other for reporting and retail sales. Yes they sell dog merchandise. With a little bit of customising we were able to deliver a product to fit all the requirements and more.
Here are some of the feature we packed in to the POS.
Customer Module
Dog House wanted to create a membership program for its clientele. We configured the customer module to easily marry up customer by scanning their membership cards. This will enable the customer to keep track of the best spenders and regular visitors and reward and encourage them to visit more often. It also helps the dog owners to recall what the pooch had on the previous visit. This way they can either buy their beloved four legged friends favourite or try some thing new from the menu.
Barcode Scanning
Dog house carries various types of dog treats, clothing, toys and many accessories to pamper the pouch. Even through the inventory is small the no of items and variations amounts to a large selection. Scrolling through the items or searching for them during check out was a painstaking task that was simplified by the addition of barcodes. This resulted in quicker check out times and easier process for the staff.
Dog booth bookings
The business had setup booths for the dogs and their owners to sit in comfort and enjoy a treat or two. By configuring the system to identify the booths and who’s occupying them they can manage the orders and deliver orders without a glitch.
Facebook WIFI
Innovative businesses require state of the art technology. When we demonstrated the facebook wifi system that allows customers to use free wifi in exchange for a check in on the business facebook page the Owner AJ didn’t hesitate to order a unit. It was a win win for both the cafe for pets and the clientele. Customers can browser the internet and upload the pictures and vides of their pets enjoying a dogachino for the first time and the business gets free marketing on social media in return.
