Restaurants Are a Tough Sell for Tech Start-ups
Anyone who eats at restaurants regularly expects to encounter certain frustrations: the endless waiting list, the server who seems unmotivated by the prospect of a good tip, and the aggravating wait for your credit card to be returned before you can rush off to a movie.
Entrepreneurs experience those same things and, over the past few years, they've been starting enough companies to fill a Cheesecake Factory menu, each trying to eradicate some of the irritations.

Overtime for Tipped Employees
Recently the Massachusetts Restaurant Association sent out a letter to its members describing how to pay overtime to tipped employees. The Department of Labor's ruling states that you must pay tipped employees overtime based on the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. This rule may affect you if you're in any state where state tip credit amount is higher than the federal amount, currently $5.12. Read about the FLSA Ruling hereIf you are using the time and attendance reports for wages, we do have some newer settings we can add to the system that will adjust this. Please contact Support@rcs-usa.com for more information.

Camera Systems
Introducing Talon DVR Camera Systems. Ever wonder what the bartender was touching on the screen when the cash drawer popped open? Sometimes even a good pole display can still trick you. Maybe the display is being blocked by the bartender or someone turned it sideways. With an integrated DVR system, you can see what that person was touching on the screen with the video. If your planning to add a camera system to your restaurant, why not one that also integrates to your POSitouch system? An integrated DVR can often pay for itself within a year by catching a crook. Maybe it's a cook punching his friend in an hour early, a server who is entering a senior discount after the customer has already paid their check or a bartender hitting no sale for a cash and carry transaction. Contact your salesperson for more information.
