Legends Sports Bar Selects the Socket SoMo 650 for Tableside Ordering
NEWARK, CA--(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - Socket Mobile, Inc. (
"When it comes to technology, we pride ourselves on being state-of-the-art and staying on top of whatever changes make economic sense," said Gene Rotondo, owner of Legends Sports Bar. "From a POS standpoint, I'm a big proponent of using the SoMo handhelds; I'm very comfortable saying that if you're doing high volume, then you have to have them. They do make a difference in your business -- our wait staff has seen a 15 percent increase in their sales, and they're able to focus more on fast, accurate delivery of food and beverages, which improves customer satisfaction and increases their tips."
The SoMo 650 handheld computer was recommended to Legends Sports Bar by Digital Dining reseller, Hospitality Technology Systems (HTS).
"What handhelds have done for restaurants is made the staff always available. They're always on the floor, and whenever a customer has a need, they're right there," said James Bacarella, president of HTS. "The SoMo has been a really good solution; it's durable enough to withstand the restaurant environment and it's a benefit that you can add a reliable, magnetic stripe reader to the device to process credit card payments at the table."
"We're delighted to be part of the Digital Dining community and partnered with HTS to deliver high-quality handheld POS solutions that increase revenues and enhance customer experience," said Dave Bledsoe, Sr. product manager of handheld computing products at Socket Mobile. "The price, performance and ergonomics of the SoMo 650 make it the ideal solution for tableside ordering and payment processing for the hospitality industry."
