We are looking for a point-of-sale system for concessions and merchandise sales that works seamlessly with Tessitura. We would like a system that could tie in with Tessitura in enabling reward and incentive programs, as well as tracking of sales in patrons' accounts.
Sample scenario:
- Tessitura generates a bar-code for inclusion in an e-blast or a printed coupon that could be scanned at the bar for 10% off a food item or drink and vice versa,
- when you purchase a drink or food items from the bar, logs those purchases into your Tessitura account history.
I suspect/realize that unless each patron gets a unique bar code for from one another within each offer, it may not be possible to track the usage of the discount to their acct, unless they use a credit card or agree to share an identifier like phone #, name, email address. BUT, at minimum I would expect to be able to track usage of each incentive for analysis and future strategic planning.
Is customization necessary? Systems/software recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Michelle & Dara,
Thanks to some tips & tricks from Jeff Cass at Chicago Shakespeare, I’ve managed to rig up Tess to serve as the inventory & sales management tool for our merchandise. Not nearly as sophisticated as what you’re looking for, but it works for our purposes. Feel free to give me a shout if you’d like more info on how I’m doing it.
