A Pitsford-based software business is launching a new restaurant management system designed to help bring Northamptonshire’s hospitality sector into the digital age.Welcome Systems Ltd provides online solutions for the hotel and catering sectors, and its latest product – ‘Welcome Table’ – aims to solve a host of problems for busy restaurants
which still rely on outdated paper diaries, or have no online booking facility.
John Jones, Commercial Director at Welcome Systems Ltd, explains:
“Many restaurants are underselling themselves by not being able to take bookings online. Welcome Table means that customers can visit a restaurant’s website or Facebook page, check availability, add notes or make special requests, and book instantly.
“The restaurant receives this information directly into an online booking diary, which can be managed on a PC, tablet or smartphone, and is shared with front-of-house and kitchen staff. The system also manages details of guest preferences, and offers personalised customer email and SMS messaging.
Welcome Systems Ltd believes this innovation is the tip of the iceberg after new research from Google shows that restaurant-related searches are up 17% year-on-year, and 80% of people looking for a restaurant online want to make a booking there and then.
Welcome Systems Ltd is inviting local catering businesses to the launch of ‘Welcome Table’ on Monday 28 September, 2:30-4pm, at the Northampton & County Club.
