Sable Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of ST Systems Corp. (CDNX:SYT) and a leading manufacturer and marketer of restaurant POS systems, announced today two new product lines - DirecTouch and ExacTouch - covering the broad spectrum of table-service restaurant needs.
DirecTouch integrates color flat-panel touch-screen PCs with cash drawers, printers, card swipes, customer displays, and other peripherals. An extensive selection of standard and optional applications addresses all facets of order entry, table management, menu management, financials, timekeeping, management reporting and control, promotional programs, and system and data security. DirecTouch is available in both Windows 98 and NT versions. Each may be tailored to the individual restaurant's operational and managerial needs. This modularity also makes DirecTouch affordable by restaurants of many sizes.
The ExacTouch family of products is designed, configured, and priced to be competitive with cash registers. However, because it provides configurations and functionality similar to that of DirecTouch at an even lower cost, ExacTouch will be extremely attractive to small, single-unit restaurants which might previously have been unable to consider such capability.
Since both DirecTouch and ExacTouch address somewhat different markets, they are designed to supplement Sable's already widely installed and popular 80NT and 100NT products, preferred by many full-service restaurant chains who desire comprehensive home-office networking capability. Sable will continue to sell, install, and service their Sable NT systems.
As it has done in the past, Sable Technologies will market the new products, along with the existing Sable NT system, directly to the end user. As a result, service, maintenance and support will be highly competitive. Together, the three product offerings - DirecTouch, ExacTouch, and Sable NT - now enable Sable to offer POS solutions to all sizes and types of full-service restaurants.
Initial deliveries of DirecTouch and ExacTouch systems have already begun.
ST Systems, through its subsidiaries Sable Technologies and Documentor Sciences, provides experienced, professional systems-integration services, addressing the POS and back-office needs of both table-service and quick-service restaurants. With its deserved reputation for 24-hour service and customer loyalty, ST Systems is favorably positioned for continued growth and profitability into the new millennium. |
