TISSL adds to its portfolio of starred chef clients

MILTON KEYNES, U.K. - July 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Café Murano, the St James, London eatery described as ‘the little sister’ of the original Murano restaurant, is this month celebrating its first nine months of trading and has paid tribute to the EPoS technology it is using to run its business.

With Michelin-starred chef Angela Harnett (a protégée of Gordon Ramsay) as its chef-patron, Café Murano opened to critical acclaim in November 2013.  Finance Director Garth Warnes made his choice of EPoS technology based on positive recommendation and the business invested in a solution from restaurant EPoS solutions specialist TISSL, who counts many top chefs amongst its 500+ clients.

General Manager Zoe Charlton-Brown joined Café Murano for the opening.  “Whilst not personally involved in the selection of TISSL, I can see why it was our choice.  It works very well and provides all the functions we need for front-of-house operations and accounting.  Interacting with the system is good, very easy, and the more we’re trained the more functionality we use.”

When it comes to reporting, Ms Charlton-Brown can generate “every report possible, all our cash analysis and daily reports of sales blends, dishes and wines sold.  We can easily analyse what’s selling and what isn’t, which gives us a good view of the business and is critical for a young business such as ours.”

The TISSL solution runs on the latest PC-based touchscreen EPoS terminals, located on the bar and in the restaurant.  “The terminals are quiet and perfectly reliable.”

“It would be hard for a quality restaurant to manage without EPoS today.  We certainly find our TISSL solution easy to use and very good,” concludes Zoe Charlton-Brown.

With Angela Harnett as its chef-patron and Samantha Williams directing the kitchen, this new addition to the St James’ dining scene has already built a loyal clientele.  “I wanted to create a restaurant that you could drop into and eat in every day. The menu takes a simpler approach to Northern Italian cooking and we print it every day,” says Ms Harnett.

The 80-cover Café Murano has an unfussy, ‘local’ feel.  It succeeds in combining a stylish décor with a tangibly-warm ambience that appeals to theatre-goers, business people, couples and families.  “Unpretentious, animated and reliably excellent” is the consensus of its early reviews.

Angela Harnett MBE is regarded as one of today’s most talented and successful chefs.  After a number of years as chef patron of Angela Harnett at The Connaught, she opened Murano, a fine-dining Michelin starred-restaurant in London's Mayfair.
