Exciting Advancements to Harbortouch POS

csarlbrewer — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:53:35 +0000

Harbortouch is continuing to improve the POS system in order to create a better, more efficient experience for our merchants. Our hospitality system will soon offer new features:

Reservations Module: allows restaurants to accept online reservations and track them through the POS.
Tableside Module: allows servers to input orders right at the table using an Apple iPad.

We’ll also be offering the Harbortouch Elite, a “best-in-class” POS system for restaurants with a large transaction volume. This package offers a more powerful system in a sleek, all-in-one design.

Also in the works is software that caters to specific markets: Harbortouch Delivery, Harbortouch Convenience Store and Harbortouch Spirits. We’re also improving the Harbortouch Retail system by adding numerous, more advanced features such as a color/size/style matrix, full customer database functionality, inventory tracking, vendor management and PO creation as well as support for rentals and consignment.

Need Money for Your Business?

Qualified merchants can get a $5,000 to $250,000 cash advance against future credit card sales! Use the money to stock up on inventory, advertise and market your business, or anything else you can think of. A business cash advance enables you to generate the working capital you need to improve your business without having to negotiate with a bank or worry about long-term credit card interest. Instead, your company may qualify for a cash advance of up to $250,000 by leveraging an asset you probably haven’t thought of—your future credit card receivables! A business cash advance is an excellent and often overlooked source of short term financing that you can take advantage of today.

We offer an approval process that’s much easier than a traditional bank loan and can provide you funds typically within 7 to 10 business days. We are not a bank and this is not a loan. You will receive up-front capital in exchange for the right to purchase your future credit card receivables. The cost is typically 74 cents for every dollar you sell. There is no fixed payback schedule. Payback comes from a percentage of your future credit card sales until the advance is repaid. If your sales slow down, the payback slows down.

The payback percentage varies based on how much you want to be advanced compared to your monthly sales. It’s typically between 10-20%. Our goal is to help you grow your business and to not interrupt or hurt your overall cash-flow. You’ll typically qualify for up to one month’s worth of your credit card sales volume or 100% of your monthly volume, perhaps a little more or less depending on your overall gross sales and cashflow.

To take advantage of all that a merchant cash advance has to offer, you must:

Have a history of processing credit cards at your business for at least 60 days.
Process at least $5,000 a month in credit cards.

Take advantage of 50 free customized cards and a 60 day free trial to add the many benefits of gift cards to your business. Gift cards improve customer loyalty and act as miniature billboards improving brand awareness and reminding customers to return to your location every time the card is seen. They are the fastest growing form of non-cash payment in the country and we offer a comprehensive gift card solution that can easily be added to your business.

The Complete Package

When investing in a Harbortouch POS system, you’re not only getting state-of-the-art software; you are also getting top-of-the-line hardware. Each piece of equipment that makes up every Harbortouch system has been specifically developed to perform in the most demanding restaurant environments. Unmatched in durability and reliability, a Harbortouch system will provide a point of sale solution for years to come.

So, What’s the Bottom Line? Is it Really Free?

Absolutely. With most POS systems, you’ll either lease or purchase the equipment, usually for several thousand dollars. And on top of that, you’ll also pay for service—which may or may not be offered 24/7. You will not get a lifetime warranty on the equipment and if something goes wrong you’ll be stuck and unable to operate your business.

We give you the equipment to use for as long as you process your merchant account with us, starting with a five year commitment. All you pay is a monthly service fee and a quarterly administration fee. We understand how quickly the hospitality industry flows and the need for your service to be top-notch. We guarantee your equipment with a lifetime warranty—if something goes wrong, you’ll have access to a technician 24/7 who knows your system inside and out and can access it remotely. If it can’t be fixed remotely then we’ll replace the necessary component quickly and efficiently. The successful functioning of your business is our primary concern and we will be there when you need us.
