What they needed.

As a multi-outlet waterfront resort in Key West, The Marker faced a complex set of requirements when selecting a new point-of-sale solution. Their ideal system needed to support mobile POS stations with printing capabilities to accommodate roving service across the property, while also offering seamless integration with their existing PMS for accurate room charge and guest account management. The hotel required dedicated support for banquets and events , as well as a web-based guest self-ordering solution for increased convenience and efficiency. To maintain flexibility, they needed compatibility with third-party interfaces for reporting and insisted on a cloud-based infrastructure for remote access and real-time visibility. Other critical needs included reliable hardware , an intuitive user interface , outlet-specific reporting , and the ability to choose their own credit card gateway . Given the variability of internet connectivity, the solution also had to include offline transaction capabilities to ensure uninterrupted operations.
