POS Systems provide efficient total solution for restaurant management with 24/7 support
St. Charles IL, October 20, 2008 -- The 100th Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill Franchise Group location has chosen 24x7 Hospitality Technology (24x7) as their POS solution and/or support provider. 24x7, a POS technology solutions and support provider specializing in installation, implementation and personalized support and consulting for the hospitality, hotel/resort and restaurant industries, is the leading provider of the onePOS software solution.
“We install the easiest software to use in the industry.

Additionally, “Our unique approach to technical support allows the Buffalo Wild Wings Franchise Group to reach technicians to handle any issue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.” Hauser added.
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.’s same-store sales and profit margins remained positive during the 3rd quarter despite a difficult economy. In their 2nd quarter, which ended June 26, income had soared 46 percent because of increased sales and new restaurant openings. Same-store sales also rose 8.3 percent at company-owned restaurants and 4.5 percent at franchised restaurants for the period.
A total management system solution for restaurants
The onePOS system has an all-in-one interface and delivers the tools needed for restaurants to communicate with their kitchens, manage cash, and has credit card processing built-in. “We switched to 24x7 Hospitality Technology to obtain better quality of service, and we have not been disappointed,” said Richard Andrews, President/CEO, RAMB Co. LLC, Hudson, Ohio. “I’m currently installing my 8th onePOS location. The equipment and software runs flawlessly, and when we needed assistance, it is provided in an expeditious manner,” Andrews said.
Ms. Hauser admits, “The secret of our success is that we install management systems, not just software.” The management system combines sound business practice and technology in a user friendly approach.
