Starred chef Martin Wishart rolls out TISSL EPoS to his eponymous Edinburgh restaurant,

MILTON KEYNES, U.K. - March 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Award-winning chef and restaurateur, Martin Wishart, has now rolled out a TISSL EPoS solution at his eponymous establishment, Restaurant Martin Wishart (RMW).   He had already made TISSL his choice of technology at The Honours, the contemporary brasserie he opened in 2011.

Explains RMW restaurant manager, Jean-Christophe Frogé: “When we opened The Honours, it made sense to install a new till system.  We were familiar with TISSL from other establishments and we knew it came highly recommended.”

Up until late last year, RMW operated with just a cash register and could see they were missing out on the many benefits The Honours was getting from its new EPoS solution.  “Once we had proved the value of TISSL, we decided to upgrade at Leith,” adds Frogé.

RMW has installed new EPoS software and new PC-based touchscreen hardware on which to run it.  “TISSL is a lot quicker to use than a cash register, far more sophisticated and offers us a lot of functionality.  We find the system reliable as well.”

“The installation was fast and straightforward,” continues Jean-Christophe Frogé.  “It was all done in half a day and colleagues from The Honours then trained RMW staff.”  System access is restricted to Frogé and selected staff, who sign on with a pin code.  “It’s easy to see who is managing and serving each table.”  He likes the fact that the TISSL solution can be tailored to each establishment and to each member of staff.

A range of daily reports keeps Jean-Christophe Frogé and his team fully informed.  “TISSL reporting is particularly useful when it comes to our cellar.  We have an extensive list of 300 wines and using TISSL I can accurately trace stock that’s held in our cellar and when it’s sold.  Plus it’s easy to update our wine list on the system when names and prices change.”

At the end of the lunchtime service, Frogé prints a department sales report as part of the manager’s functions which shows a breakdown at the half-day point.  “We don’t close our banking until day-end.  We then run a sales-by-range report covering wine, food and gratuities.  TISSL gives us absolutely the right data and the right quantity of data to run our business efficiently.”

All day-to-day sales and accounting operations are done from within TISSL.  Credit and debit card and cash transactions all go through the system, with checks closed at the table then put through TISSL.

Jean-Christophe Frogé concludes: “It depends on where you want to take the business but we feel sophisticated systems such as TISSL are necessary to move things forward. We can’t now imagine life without EPoS.”

Opened in 1999, Restaurant Martin Wishart brings the best traditional and modern French cuisine to Edinburgh.  Situated in the city’s historic port of Leith, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2001 and has retained this accolade every year since.
