      <title>NFS Serves Up Solutions to Maximise Family Time at Restaurants</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/18/2015 --  NFS has welcomed latest industry news that suggests three quarters of families are choosing to eat out together in restaurants more frequently than they were five years ago.<br />
<br />
The survey of 785 people on their eating out habits as a family found that 57% see the main reason for eating out in restaurants as quality family time together, ahead of a family celebration and socialising.<br />
<br />
Almost half of the families questioned said quality of food was the most important thing when choosing a restaurant to eat out in whilst service and value followed closely behind.<br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group: "The focus on service is critical for restaurants to take on board to encourage more families to regularly choose their restaurant as a place to eat and enjoy quality family time together.<br />
<br />

      <title>Go Direct to Avoid Booking Cheats</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/05/2015 --  International hotel software provider, NFS is urging hoteliers to take a more proactive approach to encouraging guests to book directly online, following latest statistics that show one in three people are worried about online travel agency booking cheats.<br />
<br />
The new report* suggests that some 2.5 million bookings a year have been affected by deceptive practices through rogue third-party online travel agency (OTA) affiliates who pose as direct hotel booking sites. <br />
<br />
Six percent of consumers who have booked hotels online had the experience of thinking they were booking directly with a hotel, but found out instead that they were booking with an online hotel booking site posing as the direct site. <br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group: "Consumers deserve transparency in knowing exactly who they are booking with, and these findings clearly show that online hotel booking scams have eroded consumer confidence among third-party vendors.  <br />
<br />
"It&apos;s a great time for hotels to step up and show they can offer the sweeter deals online, and ensure consumers can eliminate headaches, hassles and concerns. When dealing directly with the hotel, consumers can rest easy knowing they have direct access to those who can accommodate their exact requirements." <br />
<br />
For hoteliers looking to make an impact online, yet concerned regarding the cost and complexity of integrating room booking management systems, NFS offers roomMaster as an affordable fully integrated property management software for hotels from ten to more than 1,000 rooms. <br />
<br />
roomMaster easily and seamlessly handles reservations, sales ledger, point of sale, gift cards, sales and marketing functionality and the ability to make better rate decisions through dynamic yield management.<br />
<br />
Luis concludes: "The advantage of roomMaster for hoteliers is it offers a complete solution to manage all hotel departments.  Simple to integrate and affordable, it means that hoteliers can concentrate on delivering a great experience to guests both online and at hotel level, and potential guests can feel safe in the knowledge that they are getting the best rates to suit their needs by booking direct."<br />

      <title>Top Secrets to Running a SUCCESSFUL Multi-Site Restaurant Business</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">NFS Technology Group has launched a new downloadable white paper to offer restaurants the latest insights into how they can grow into successful multi-site operations.</p><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/27/2015 --  The white paper entitled &apos;The Top Secrets of Running a Multi-Site Restaurant Business&apos; is now available to download and offers readers the opportunity to find out how using the right head office management technology can make all the difference.<br />
<br />
Taken into account in the white paper is how to capture data accurately, make the most of reporting, promoting customer loyalty and how to attract and look after key staff in the business, whether that&apos;s operational, marketing or in financial management.<br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology and author of the white paper: "Few restaurant independents have the time or resources to manage their essential running costs effectively in-house. Managing expenses as diverse as utilities, premises and waste, let alone finding the time to keep on top of contract renewals and customer enquiries, is an uphill task without dedicated technology.<br />
<br />
"In this white paper we have put the big issues together in one easy to digest format.  Essentially we want to provide peace of mind that the technology is available to ensure your staff and resources are freed up to concentrate on essential activities such as Front of House and delivery of a great guest experience.  As you grow, this all adds up to greater efficiency and lower costs across your entire multi-site business, and in the end, that adds up to increased profits."<br />

      <title>How Millennials Are Reshaping the Workplace</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/27/2015 --  With Millennials (those born after 1995) entering the workforce in large numbers and expected to make up 75 per cent of the global workforce by 2025, workplace managers have to be prepared for a different approach to getting the job done.<br />
<br />
This includes increased reliance on mobile technology, an expectation for flexible working and great confidence in digital media and communication technology alongside cloud-based access to work data at any time of day or night.<br />
<br />
To implement tools necessary for the millennials to take advantage, managers need to make significant investments in technology to achieve necessary productivity, reductions in operating cost, and also potentially significant cutbacks in the need for fixed workspace.<br />
<br />
Whilst this may seem drastic action, evidence suggests organisations that make the best use of technology are able to encourage an inclusive and diverse culture, securing the greatest levels of productivity and workplace engagement suitable for the younger workforce.<br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group: "It&apos;s clear that Millennials will be a powerful generation of workers and that those with the right skills will be in high demand.  They may be able to command not only creative reward packages by today&apos;s standards, but also influence the way they work and where and how they operate in the workplace.  They may also represent one of the biggest challenges that many organisations will face."<br />
<br />
"This can be seen most clearly in Millennial&apos;s use of technology and their affinity with the digital world.  They have grown up with broadband, smartphones, tablets, laptops and social media being the norm and expect instant access to information.  This is potentially the first generation to enter the workplace with a better grasp of a key business tool than more senior worker."<br />
<br />
One instant solution is the integration of NFS&apos; new Rendezvous Cloud solution which is delivered as a cloud based application that is seamless to implement, fast to deploy and requires no IT investment.  Not only is it compatible to operate on mobile devices it is ideal for creating a more flexible workspace.  <br />

      <title>Rise in Overseas Search for UK Hotels</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/23/2015 --  Latest research has revealed the number of overseas visitors searching for hotel stays in the UK has increased, leading to increased pressures on owners to integrate efficient booking software technology to keep up with demand.<br />
<br />
The figures, released by Expedia, highlights a 35% increase in USA travellers looking to book UK hotels, whilst Germany showed an increase of around 20% and emerging markets such as South Korea, Brazil and China present strong interest in booking UK hotels during August.<br />
<br />
According to Expedia, American travellers spent £46 more per night on their room on average than domestic travellers and Brazilians spent £36 more per night on average.  American travellers also stayed almost a day longer in their UK hotel than the domestic traveller – 2.5 days compared with 1.6 days.<br />
<br />
And when it came to the booking window, Germans booked furthest in advance – 70 days ahead of their stay – and Americans almost 50 days ahead of their stay. The British domestic traveller booked only 26 days in advance.<br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group: "The Expedia results are very encouraging for UK hotels in Summer 2015 from staycations and overseas travellers.  It&apos;s also encouraging to see emerging traveller markets combining with more established ones to give solid, year-on-year growth in interest.<br />
<br />
"It is up to hotel owners to ensure they are fully prepared to maximize the opportunity and make better rate decisions through dynamic yield management. Latest booking room software such as roomMaster is proven to make a difference and enable a great guest experience, from right booking stages, through to experiencing facilities and leaving a review of their stay."<br />
<br />
About roomMaster <br />
roomMaster from NFS is a fully integrated property management software for hotels from ten to more than 1,000 rooms. It easily and seamlessly handles reservations, sales ledger, point of sale, gift cards, sales and marketing functionality and the ability to make better rate decisions through dynamic yield management.<br />

      <title>NFS Delivers a Successful Workplace Journey</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/17/2015 --  NFS Technology Group presents considerations for companies looking to take the journey from a fixed working environment to a more flexible use of space, to improve efficiency and inspire performance. <br />
<br />
In a dedicated feature entitled &apos;Elements of a Successful Workplace Journey&apos;, which was published in September&apos;s Facilities Management magazine, NFS considers the issues of space utilisation measurement, the integration with booking systems and the challenges of taking staff on the flexible working journey to achieve better productivity.<br />
<br />
Says Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group and author of the article: "Organisations should see the move to flexible working as a journey, not just a destination.  With change now the new norm, organisations should plan for the greatest levels of flexibility in every area of the workplace journey. <br />
<br />
"Within this article, we have taken great care to highlight the steps required to reach such an optimum workspace solution.  This is right from recognising the importance of acquiring accurate data of space utilisation to understanding how to integrate three key elements of measurement, management and control into workspace designed to support today&apos;s workforce. <br />
<br />
"It is equally crucial that the move to agile working is accompanied by simple processes from being able to book a desk, a meeting room or a car parking space to checking into pre-booked workspaces. Accommodating instant local booking needs through the introduction of technology such as room screens and strategically placed kiosks also offers a great user experience.  Here solutions such as NFS Rendezvous have proven to deliver."<br />
<br />
About NFS Rendezvous <br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/26/2015 --  With the increase in the number of meetings, inductions, conferences, exhibitions (MICE), event organisers are increasingly implementing best-in-class technology that can handle the entire event lifecycle from planning to implementation and post event analysis. <br />
<br />
Latest forecasts has suggested the Global Event Management as a Service market is set to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 23.45 percent over the period 2014-2019*.  <br />

And to keep up with the increasing demand, event organisers are stepping up their use of technology, to ensure their event can cater for the new visitor expectations, with all available facilities and resources.<br />
<br />
Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology said: "Whilst they may vary in size, events today can mean anything from small business meetings to large-scale exhibitions.  The expectation of savvy visitors towards attendance, largely due to the influx in mobile technology, has changed significantly.<br />

"Implementing state of the art event management software such as NFS Rendezvous can instantly help organisers manage and coordinate at every level for any type of event, taking care of almost every aspect from online registration through to content management, and booking and billing. The software also enables on-site operations such as registration. <br />

      <title>The Lovat Loch Ness Adds the Gift of Booking Management with NFS Roommaster PMS</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/26/2015 --  The Lovat Loch Ness has integrated NFS Technology Group&apos;s specialist hotel management system to ensure the smooth running of hotel operations as well as the restaurant and bar facilities.<br />
<br />
Nestled in the heart of the magnificent Scottish Highlands, in Fort Augustus near Inverness, the stylish independently owned hotel is ideally featured as a golf destination alongside an opportunity for guests to enjoy the local experience in fishing, walking, historic sight seeing and even monster watching!<br />
<br />
Keen to maximize its presence on online booking channels and ensure an efficient process is maintained at hotel level to deliver a guest experience, the owner, Caroline Gregory, selected NFS&apos; roomMaster technology as a total solution provider.<br />
<br />
NFS&apos; roomMaster hotel system was seamlessly installed to deliver an effective technology solution for the hotel, fully integrated with Navarino/SynXis for channel management and online bookings, with room availability and pricing being widely distributed to several online booking channels.<br />
<br />
The hotel also chose to adopt a gift card programme to maximize guest loyalty, available as part of the roomMaster software suite.  The gift card programme encourages return visits to the hotel and restaurant facilities and makes it easy to run promotions and special offers with full tracking of spend and a link to the guest profile.<br />
<br />
Says Caroline Gregory at The Lovat:  "Our aim is always for our guests to experience the ultimate relaxing break, with the hotel creating a home from home experience, and offering a personal touch and calming atmosphere through our hotel and its facilities.<br />
<br />
"To ensure this occurs right from the booking experience, back of house needs to operate seamlessly to deliver a great guest experience.  We had originally relied on various disjointed systems, such as a database, online booking, EPOS, accounting etc, but none had the ability to communicate with each other. <br />
<br />
"NFS worked with us as an extension of our team to ensure the installation of roomMaster was a trouble free implementation and the results are really fantastic.  We instantly found the hotel easier to manage and quickly added to the software with the ability to offer gift cards, to encourage loyalty and present an easy way for an even wider audience to enjoy our services."<br />
<br />
Sanjay Saptarshi, Head of Hotel Operations at NFS added: "The Lovat is a fine example of a boutique hotel that is using technology exceptionally well across all areas of its business to deliver a great experience to guests both online and at hotel level."<br />
<br />
roomMaster from NFS is a fully integrated property management software for hotels from ten to more than 1,000 rooms. It easily and seamlessly handles reservations, sales ledger, point of sale, gift cards, sales and marketing functionality and the ability to make better rate decisions through dynamic yield management.<br />
<br />
Linking to leading channel manager Navarino/SynXis, roomMaster enables automatic updates to GDS&apos;s and leading booking sites such as Expedia, Wotif, Booking.com and Agoda.  <br />
<br />
For maximum efficiency, reservations from booking sites and from the hotels own website are automatically captured by Navarino/SynXis and imported directly into the hotels&apos; roomMaster reservation system, eliminating the need to manually re-key reservation emails and faxes.<br />

      <title>Working Outside the Box: Changing to Meet out of Hours Customer Expectations</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/06/2015 --  New research has found that employees are increasingly dealing with customer enquiries outside of &apos;normal working hours,&apos; leading to companies seeking more efficient and flexible mobile solutions.<br />
<br />
The research, carried out by alldayPA found that 40% more worker time is spent dealing with customers outside traditional 9am to 5pm office hours, compared with three years ago, creating a rapid demand for 24-hour services such as scheduling and booking tools.<br />
<br />
Legal and e-commerce businesses have seen the biggest rise in 8am to 8pm working – legal firms have seen an 80% rise in calls outside 9am to 5pm, while for e-commerce it is 60%.<br />
<br />
Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology said: "Customer expectations are changing radically whereby longer &apos;opening&apos; hours are seen as the norm rather than the exception.  This is largely due to the influx in mobile technology allowing us all to work on a much more agile basis. It is up to companies to keep up with the demand and embrace tools that allow employees to maintain office contact from any location, at any given time."<br />
<br />
Businesses are adapting to these changing customer expectations implementing technologies such as NFS Rendezvous Workspace solution that offers the necessary software to support organisations on their journey towards flexible working best practice. <br />
<br />
With Rendezvous, employees can instantly log in at any time to schedule meetings and book rooms on a 24 / 7 / 365 basis to deal with any customer enquiries.  This can also be done via any mobile device using Rendezvous Mobile, itself designed to deliver on the resource booking requirements of staff on the move.<br />
<br />
Luis concluded: "Getting additional support from technology and specialist software systems that have been carefully created for the more agile working environment eases the out-of-hours burden and ensures a consistent, professional service for customers. Rendezvous is a great example of a cost effective system that provides outstanding flexibility for the business user in an increasingly mobile workplace."<br />

      <title>How to Balance Use of Technology with the Personal Touch in Restaurant Management</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/06/2015 --  Latest research has revealed that 37 per cent of diners over the age of 35 in the UK, do not want restaurants to use front of house technology, with a further 32 per cent of 18 – 34 year olds preferring a human approach to their dining experience.<br />
<br />
The research, carried out by Sacia, may come as a surprise to some industry professionals who have started to implement guest-facing technology to improve the speed and quality of service to their diners.<br />
<br />
However, for NFS, an international provider of integrated restaurant booking and management solutions such as Aloha, the key to adopting software is a careful balance between using technology and front of house staff to create the perfect guest experience.<br />
<br />
Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group said: "It&apos;s 2015; every business is a technology business and it&apos;s integral for the efficient running of restaurants, right from the moment a guest looks to book a table through to payment options, including integration of latest Apple Pay.<br />
<br />
"This is only going to intensify with the growing reliance on mobile, which is increasingly being accepted by customers. The key to integrating such new technologies is to encourage staff to see new software as a way to work efficiently but not as a replacement for great customer service.<br />
<br />
"Customers still expect a level of personal front of house service to help with any enquiries through their dining experience, whether it be dietary requirements or changes in bookings.  It is the combination of personal interaction and technology, as implemented by our clients including HIX, Cabana and Dishoom, that will be the key to delivering a great customer experience."<br />
<br />
Aloha from NFS Technology Group is proven to optimise real time restaurant management and actively increases revenues. The restaurant point of sale software suite offers smooth integration between stock control, labour management, loyalty and gift cards, head office management, table reservations and guest management, tableside ordering and mobile payment systems. <br />
<br />
Luis concluded: "While hospitality consumers can be very comfortable with technology when used in a personal context, their expectation of service from the hospitality operator will always be a great priority than the operator&apos;s technology platform.  <br />
<br />
"This means selecting the right technology in the front of house arena, which speeds up the operational process and delivers accuracy in terms of order taking, and billing.  Today NFS clients benefit from great technology, which is easy to use and enhances the guest experience rather than presenting technology as a means of communicating with the guest."<br />

      <title>Why Hotels Need to Integrate Apple Pay to Stay Competitive</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/06/2015 --  Considering the way the hotel industry is moving with keyless check-in and an increasing guest reliance on booking reviews, the integration of Apple Pay makes perfect sense to create the perfect guest experience, says NFS Technology Group.<br />
<br />
Apple Pay is a payment system recently introduced in the UK with increasingly widespread adoption that allows consumers to effectively use their iPhone to pay for all products and services. <br />
<br />
With the Marriott Hotel being the first to adopt the technology, NFS has the booking and management software ready to help independent hotels and smaller groups to take advantage of the latest payment system and integrate into everyday activity to present a great customer experience.<br />
<br />
Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology Group says: "As hotel brands move to keyless check-in and out, people will rely on their phone from booking a hotel through to leaving a review, bypassing the front desk completely, even using their phone as their room key.  This leaves front desk staff to focus on creating a great customer service instead of focusing on processes that can be completed by technology." <br />
<br />
"Apple Pay is a natural step in offering customers a more efficient stay, that also adds another level of security with (PCI) compliance.  In fact, it speaks volumes that the Marriott group is one of the first brands to jump on offering Apple Pay as the Millennial generation considers it to be a &apos;parent&apos;s brand&apos; and yet they are at the forefront of mobile technology. <br />
<br />
"Other hotels who may be cautious of the issues surrounding security and integration of the technology will simply miss out on the competitive advantage of presenting such a seamless guest experience."<br />
<br />
About NFS roomMaster<br />
NFS roomMaster is designed as a future proof integrated solution, ready to adopt secure mobile payments such as Apple Pay and seamlessly operate with POS systems already in place to optimize the guest experience.  <br />
<br />
roomMaster drives revenue through a commission free online booking engine, delivers real time management information straight to a mobile and handles all aspects of F&amp;B, Spa and Events. Integrated yield management drives the best rates and maximises late room sales. <br />

      <title>The Pierhouse Hotel Takes Hotel Management to the Next Level with Roommaster Pms</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Hertford, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/23/2015 --  NFS Technology Group&apos;s roomMaster is the hotel management system of choice for luxury hotel and seafood restaurant, The Pierhouse to ensure the smooth running of hotel operations as well as the restaurant and bar facilities.<br />
<br />
Nestled on the shores of a search lock, Loch Linnhe, in the picturesque village of Port Appin, Argyll, The Pierhouse Hotel originally started life as the 19th century residence of the Pier Master.  <br />
<br />
The Pierhouse Hotel is now a luxury hotel with 12 en suite bedrooms, a specialist seafood a la carte restaurant for 60 guests, a bar with over 100 malts and a wood burning stove, spa facilities and a host of outdoor activities for guests.<br />
<br />
The owners looked to upgrade the cumbersome manual hotel systems in place with an affordable integrated hotel management system, to increase efficiency across the hotel for the benefit of staff, hotel guests and visitors.<br />
<br />
NFS&apos;s roomMaster hotel system was seamlessly installed to deliver an effective technology solution with full reporting operations and seamless two-way integration with SiteMinder, to enable room availability and pricing to be automatically distributed to online booking channels.<br />
<br />
Says Nicholas Horne of The Pierhouse Hotel: "The Pierhouse hotel attracts a huge range of customers from all walks of life and all parts of the world with a personal and informal atmosphere created for a perfect relaxing break.<br />
<br />
"With this relaxed environment at front of house, back of house needs to operate seamlessly to deliver a great guest experience.  We had originally relied on various disjointed systems, such as database, online booking, EPOS, accounting etc, but none had the ability to communicate with each other. <br />
<br />
"We really needed to upgrade our system and take it to the next level of professionalism and efficiency.  And the dedicated team at NFS made RoomMaster a trouble free installation with excellent instruction and support.  The system really is proving to be everything it was made out to be and is already far exceeding our expectations!" <br />
<br />
About roomMaster<br />
roomMaster from NFS is a fully integrated property management software for hotels from ten to more than 1,000 rooms. It easily and seamlessly handles reservations, sales ledger, point of sale, sales and marketing functionality and the ability to make better rate decisions through dynamic yield management.<br />
