| Falls Creek Ski Lifts and Hotham Skiing Company are rolling out a new electronic point of sale and ticketing system in 2012. Used widely at resorts around the world, the RTP (Resort Technology Partners) system will create streamlined pre-purchase of lift tickets and lessons, pre-organisation of equipment hire plus the ability to register the kids into the snowsports school programs prior to arrival at the resorts. Guests who utilise this new system will move more quickly onto the slopes, spending more time skiing and boarding. The roll out has now begun with the introduction of the new eStore, creating hassle free benefits for online organisation of a guest’s snow holiday. Currently you can buy your season pass or Snow Rewards membership on the eStore. In coming weeks, the eStore sale offering will also include lift tickets, lessons and equipment hire. Guests can register online for rental equipment, completing a detailed form allowing easier and smoother collection of their equipment. Guests can also manage their skier or rider profiles for future equipment hire or snowsports lessons needs including group and private lessons. “The benefits of the new system provide guests the opportunity to reduce the time they need to be at the ticket counters and in the equipment rental stores” says Nick Noble Marketing Manager Falls Creek Ski Lifts, “It’s important to provide systems that create more time on the slopes for our guests”. “The installation of this new system will streamline the way we interact with our guests providing them the ability to organise parts of their holiday prior to arriving,” says Gina Woodward Hotham Sales & Marketing Manager, “We all value our time and the ability to maximise time on the slopes is paramount.“ This powerful new system across two of Victoria’s alpine resorts has enormous benefits and further benefits will be rolled out over the coming seasons. Winter operations for skiing and snowboarding in 2012 will start on Saturday 9 June. Source: eTravelBlackBoard |

Liquor Store POS Software: What to Look For
Liquor and wine stores have their own unique demands of POS software. Since both federal and state governments regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages like beer, wine and spirits, a good wine and liquor store point of sale (POS) software incorporates business rules and logic unique to the liquor store industry.
Here are some of the features you need to look for in wine and liquor store POS software.
Strong Security
Liquor store POS software is secure and prevents shrinkage--a common occurrence in liquor stores. Shrinkage refers to product loss caused by damage, paperwork errors, cashier errors, theft, sweethearting, shoplifting and other activities. Employees cause shrinkage by giving away, or "sweethearting," products to friends and family at the point of sale terminal, usually through scan avoidance, unauthorized discounts, refund fraud, fake gift cards and overriding of prices. Good liquor store POS software, such as CAP Retail Systems, has security features to help prevent these types of activities. (Screenshot, right - used with persmission from CAP Retail)

Age Verification
In most states, possession and consumption of liquor by people under the age of 21 is considered a misdemeanor. Violation of this legislation can result in a year in jail and up to $5,000 in fines for the minor. A store that sells alcohol to minors will face penalties such as losing its liquor license and paying heavy fines. Liquor store POS software, such as Retail Anywhere, helps prevent alcohol sales to minors by facilitating age verifiction through driver's license checks. Liquor store POS software can also restrict sales depending on time or day to comply with state regulations.
Inventory Tracking and Management
Good inventory management (knowing what you have and when to order more) is essential to a successful liquor store. CATAPULT, a liquor store POS software by ECRS Retail Automation Solutions, has a customizable POS touch screen that makes it easy to manage inventory, forecast inventory needs, automatically reorder items and synchronize data from multiple liquor stores. This ensures that stocks are always replenished at the appropriate time. Liquor store POS software can also track bottle deposits and has single and six-pack control. It can easily handle pricing, promos and markdowns.
