Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, including specifically-designed hospitality software solutions, has announced that Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London has selected the InfoGenesis POS™ system from Agilysys to streamline food and beverage operations and enhance guest service at the award-winning 200-room property, which is owned and managed by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
“We’ve taken the stance of using only ‘Best of Breed’ solutions in our hotels, and, in our opinion, Agilysys provides the most advanced point-of-sale solution on the market,” said Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s Vice President of Hotel Information Systems Gary McCallum. “The InfoGenesis POS combines an accessible user interface with powerful configuration and reporting tools, which enables us to provide exceptional guest service. It’s always exciting to introduce new staff to the system — particularly if they’ve worked with other POS solutions — and watch their eyes light up when they use it. Its performance and flexibility are unmatched in the industry.”
The InfoGenesis POS system combines the performance, familiarity and ease-of-use of Windows software with a relational database to deliver a robust point-of-sale solution scalable enough for hospitality operations of all sizes. The InfoGenesis POS solution can manage any combination of dining, bar, room service and gift shop operations. Features of the system include:
* Real-time reporting capabilities that enable properties to create customized reports and review guest spending patterns;
* Sorting, filtering and grouping options that enable staff to locate information quickly and easily;
* Organizational controls that allow staff to monitor configuration changes in the system; and
* Encryption tools that ensure the security of guest data.
“The InfoGenesis POS solution has a successful track record at many of the world’s leading hotels and is ideally suited to the needs of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park,” said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. “The system’s flexibility and functionality not only will enable the property’s food and beverage operations to run at peak efficiency, but also will allow the hotel to capitalize on revenue opportunities like never before.”
With the tranquility of Hyde Park on one side and the sophistication of Knightsbridge on the other, the historic five-star Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park boasts London’s most perfect location. Breathtaking views of the park are offered from many of the sumptuous suites, as well as from the hotel’s award-winning restaurants, Foliage and The Park, while Mandarin Bar is the center of the city’s nightlife. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental offers a haven of tranquility in the heart of Knightsbridge where East and West blend in harmony, and a series of tailor-made treatments known as ‘Time Rituals’ draw on exotic therapies and philosophies from around the world.
