Wireless POS


The golf course manager’s dilemma, how do you track your sales and process transactions on your beverage cart?
For those of you who don’t know golf has a wonderful plus, we have carts driving around the course serving alcohol. It’s a great way to serve your clients but also has some headaches. In the past you could track your purchases on sheets and then ring them in when you got back to the clubhouse. With the advances in wireless technology this process will be a thing of the past.
Wireless POS systems are becoming increasingly popular. Motion Wireless has a system that can be mounted onto your beverage cart and can be used to process transactions all over the course. The system can also be used to set remote POS systems that network with the main system. This could be used in places like the Snack Shop at the transition from the 9th to the 10th holes.
This will allow credit card transactions to be processed, no more holding a customers card to “run a chit”. It can handle charging to a members account. It also reduces shrinkage as each transaction will be tracked with an official receipt. The platform is shock mounted and waterproof so it can withstand being outside and bounced around a bit.
This system will enhance the controls at your course and increase sales as people will more likely buy when they do not have to give up their credit card, rather just use it as they would inside the clubhouse.
