Will POS ring Hospital Cafeteria's cash registers?

NAPERVILLE: Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center has selected and implemented the ARBAPRO Café POS system in their hospital cafeteria after a careful selection process.

When Mark Fluty, Director of Dietary at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, needed a POS solution for his hospital cafeteria; he knew he needed POS software that would increase his retail revenues and speed throughput at the point of sale. Enhanced service and convenience for hospital employees and guests, and automated management of employee payroll deductions were also important factors in selecting a new system.

“Implementing ARBAPRO by ARBA Retail is a win-win,” said Mark. “The hospital is making more money, and the employees and customers are happier with the service and convenience of Payroll Deductions.” Automated management of payroll deductions saves valuable time at the register, and in the payroll department.

As per a press release, Mark went on to say that “after implementing ARBAPRO with automated payroll deductions and employee badge scanning, cafeteria sales increased over 25 per cent within the first year and a half. The system essentially paid for itself in the first six months.” Providing this benefit and convenience to hospital employees through ARBAPRO POS has increased the average check amount, and accounting is very pleased with the fact that they would not have to manually enter payroll deduction charges due to the custom interface between ARBAPRO and the hospital payroll system.

Added, that ARBA provides Touch Screen cash registers which are extremely fast and easy to use, with menu screen management and design customized to each cafeteria’s unique needs. Says Mark, “The ARBA touch screen cash registers are so much faster than what we had before.”

The Gift Shop at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center has been using ARBAPRO Gift, also by ARBA Retail Systems, as their POS Inventory Management system for many years. Using ARBAPRO as a single source POS Software and register solution in multiple retail areas has resulted in lower IT costs, one source for all data management, and the elegance of a unified corporate appearance for the medical center’s retail areas, as shared.

Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center is located in Danville, Kentucky.
