On-line Credit
Card Authorisation systems are available to provide a truly
integrated Front Desk and EPOS solution. Whilst such systems
are frequently un-economic in a stand-alone situation they
do offer a significant economy in the multi-use environment
where a single ISDN line can remove the need for many PDQ
swipe terminals.
Swipe cards can
be issued to guests upon arrival which they can then use to
charge sales at EPOS outlets directly to their room account.
Multiple cards can be issued for each room to cater for family
occupancy. Room or Car Park access cards can often be used
for this secondary function. Of course, credit can be barred
by the front desk system at any time.
Operator ID cards
provide rapid and secure tracking of operators around the
EPOS system. Such cards ensure that each operator can only
perform those task for which he is authorised and prevents
the sale of goods under the names of other operators.
