POS SOLUTIONS FOR SPORTING EVENTS

American Metro is no stranger to supplying point of sale equipment to sporting events. In fact, it was because of the 1991 U.S. Open at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, MN that the Metro Rental Division came into being. Since that time, American Metro has provided cash registers, credit card equipment and point of sale systems to hundreds of sporting events to provide solutions for their ticketing, concession and merchandise needs.

The key component to making vending for sports successful is speed.  No one wants to be stuck in line when there’s a risk of missing a game changing play, so the best way to keep your customers happy is by helping them get back to the action. There are 3 things that can make all the difference when it comes to pleasing the masses.

Preparation, Confidence & Reliability

1 – Preparation:

Making sure you have the right equipment at the right quantities to keep lines moving is a necessity. Analyze your point of sale needs and be sure to factor in things like expected attendance, high traffic bursts, physical store/stand layout, etc. to make sure you run at peak efficiency. Another aspect of being prepared includes ensuring each unit is programmed and ready for sales upon arrival.

2 – Confidence:

The biggest factor in maintaining a smoothly flowing checkout experience is centered on the cashier. The cashier needs to be familiar enough with the system to quickly process orders as they come in. This is achieved with a combination of having user-friendly equipment, thorough training, back-up reference guides and professional support. With a comprehensive system like that in place, your cashiers will feel like experts.

3 – Reliability:

Once the systems are in place and the staff is ready to go, the final hurdle to overcome is downtime. To keep downtime to a minimum, have professional technicians perform regular maintenance on each piece of equipment. Thermal, drop and load printers reduce paper jams and paper refilling time. With state-of-the art communications technology, we can create a network to assure your equipment is continually running smoothly. Together, this makes for a consistently reliable experience.
