Swan’s in-store hospitality enables you to run the catering and retail aspects of your business through a single system, allowing you to evolve your strategy safe in the knowledge that your system will grow and adapt with you.
Retailers need to adapt their strategies to remain competitive, with becoming a destination retailer – a place to visit as opposed to simply a store – being one of the most successful options. As such, a wide range of different retailing sectors, especially garden centres and department stores, are now starting to incorporate catering operations into their retail strategies, whether through a small coffee shop or a large-scale restaurant.
Swan Retail have recognised this growing need for retailers to have a system which supports both retail and hospitality functionality simultaneously, and as such we have developed the ability to do this from within the standard Swan application. This results in savings on training and administration times as well as being able to cross-utilise staff across different departments. It also provides the unique benefit of having one store-wide solution, allowing all of your data to be stored in one location increasing efficiencies in business management.
