The US Foods Resource Advantage Marketing Program is operated in partnership with Augeo Affinity Marketing to provide US Foods customers with top-quality products and services from reliable vendors at the best price possible. Resource Advantage members now have access to specially negotiated discounts on the Restaurant Manager and Write-On Handheld POS Systems via ASI’s nationwide network of certified value added resellers. “ASI is thrilled that our POS products have been selected from a field of many as the best POS solution for US Foodscustomers,” Augeo CEO David Kristal concurred, “Augeo is excited to be partnering with ASI, one of the country’s top point of sale systems providers. Through our partnership, we are proud to present ASI, including their Restaurant Manager software and Write-On Handheld technology, to US Foods Resource Advantage members. Restaurant Manager’s ease of use and programming for the restaurateur, updated and forward-thinking technology in combination with its affordability will surely benefit the members of Resource Advantage.” Sallee Raffa, who operates Mildred’s, a seaside eatery named Best of the Jersey Shore by Philly Magazine was one of the first US Foods customers to purchase a Restaurant Manager POS System through the Resource Advantage Program. She had heard great things about the Restaurant Manager POS System and was happy to purchase it at a significant discount through the US Foods Resource Advantage Program. Less than a week later, JSE Computers of Linwood, N.J., had installed Restaurant Manager POS System and Raffa noticed an immediate impact. “The biggest challenge in a busy seaside place like Mildred’s is managing the wait list,” Raffa said. “My staff has been quick to take advantage of the many features in Restaurant Manager that help speed table turns and cut wait-times.” The Restaurant Manager POS System includes a custom interface to the US Foods Menu Profitbuilder Pro software made available free of charge to all US Foods Resource Advantage members. The interface makes menu profit analysis easy because US Foods product costs are easily uploaded and calculated using the sales data from Restaurant Manager. Craig Peck, Territory Chef for US Foods is now recommending the Restaurant Manager POS System to all customers in Philadelphia who want help with controlling food costs. “It really feels great to recommend a solution I know will have a big bottom line impact for our customers, especially when we can offer them a discount they won’t find anywhere else,”Peck said. ASI CEO, Alex Malison, predicts that ASI’s Write-On Handheld POS System will prove particularly popular with Resource Advantage members. “The ROI of tableside order-taking and payment processing is undeniable,” Malison points to Resource Advantage member, Mrs. K’s Tollhouse Restaurant, as a case in point. Check averages are up 7 percent since they began using the Write-On app for the iPod touch while, at the same time, comps for ordering errors are down by almost 20 percent. Malison notes, “Once they see the discount thats available through the Resource Advantage program, installing a Write-On Handheld POS System will be a no-brainer for many US Foods customers.” ASI’s RM Monitor service is another compelling mobility solution that is available free of charge to all US Foods members. RM Monitor delivers real-time POS reports and alerts directly to any iPhone or other smart phone, allowing restaurant owners and managers to stay on top of their business any time, anywhere.
