THE WIRELESS WAIT
Meanwhile, interest in wireless receipt
printing options continues on an
upswing. “Wireless and other mobili-
ty-based applications are appearing
on our radar screen on an almost
daily basis,” notes CBM’s Gallagher.
He says his firm’s future plans call for
addressing such a trend via a “variety
of approaches”; details will be
released sometime down the road.
Although all retail verticals are
becoming or will become receptive to
wireless receipt printing because of
its usefulness in line-busting remote
POS applications, the hospitality
segment merits particular attention
from VARs aiming to promote the
technology, contends Keith McNally,
senior vice president, business devel-
opment at Ameranth Wireless.
Ameranth’s wireless printing soft-
ware allows handheld computers
used by wait staff for order-taking
purposes to be configured to print
receipts at diners’ tables.
“The fact that wireless reduces
[diners’] wait for receipts and [there-
fore] enhances operational efficien-
cies is part of the reason it is gaining
favor among restaurateurs,” McNally
observes. “However, patrons—and, in
turn, operators—also like it because
of the security benefits [inherent in]
eliminating the need for servers to
walk away with peoples’ credit cards
in order to process the transaction
and print the receipt.”
