Giant Macaskills choose Unipower to support growth plans

Giant Macaskills, a St Albans-based pub company, have selected Unipower Hospitality PoS solution to control their expanding managed pub estate.

The Unipower solution includes Point of Sale software running on J2’s latest hardware platform, and hospitality back office and head office management applications with powerful reporting tools. Unipower Hospitality PoS 3.5 is the latest release from the Multi-Channel Retail and Hospitality software provider Unipower Solutions, based in Hertfordshire. 

A growing pub organisation, Giant Macaskills have an eye and talent for creating civilised, relaxing dining pubs attractively filled with good furniture and food prepared with locally sourced produce.

Giant Macaskills’ director Peter Macaskill, who managed the selection process, chose the Unipower solution for its reliability, ease-of-use and its ability to scale with his plans for growth.  In addition, the understanding and comprehensive service offering Unipower provides to the hospitality sector has been an important factor in their decision-making process.

Macaskill commented “We aim to give our customers the best customer experience, we want our staff to spend their time welcoming and interacting with our customers. The Unipower Hospitality POS system with its intuitive table management process allows our staff to dedicate more time to the customer and less time to entering orders onto tills. Not only does the Unipower solution speed up the transaction process; with their fingerprint technology provides us with a level of security that passwords (swipe cards or key fobs) never could. The remote access and head office reporting have given us a scalable point of sale system that will allow our business to grow aided by Unipower’s technology.”

“Our aim is to provide a home from home for those living in the area, a place to enjoy all the things that are great about a real pub – the conversation, the food, the drink and above all the atmosphere.  Superior customer service is key to our success and Unipower solutions can help us with that”, added Macaskill.

As part of the first phase of the implementation project the Unipower solution has now been installed into the Hare and Hounds with plans to roll out to the Amble Inn and others. 

Unipower’s Sales & Marketing Director Tony Sparks said “We are very pleased that Giant Macaskills have chosen to implement our Hospitality solution and we look forward to supporting their growing business in the years to come.” “We are very excited about providing all the benefits of our products and services to independent operators like Giant Macaskills” Sparks added.
