Ice Cream Point of Sale Solution for Northern California Ice Cream Shop
Tourist Town Business Upgrades from Cash Register to CCS Point of Sale
For over 25 years, Flavors Unlimited has been serving Guerneville, CA area. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, specialty drinks and ice cream. Whether it be sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, smoothies or ice cream themed desserts - Flavors Unlimited allows guests to enjoy their food in both indoor or outdoor seating. Located right on historic main street, frequent travellers stop by on their way to see the redwoods or perhaps go wine tasting. In November 2014, the business sold to a local family. At this time they decided to upgrade the cash register to a Point of Sale System. This is when they came to Cafe Cartel.
Flavors Unlimited Using Their CCS Food Menu Prompt Modifiers & Limits
It’s common place for diners to make adjustments to their order to suit their own preferences. CCS makes modifying these orders in the system intuitive and calculates accurate pricing adjustments. So when choosing a burger for example, modifiers will apear that can be added to the item. Let’s say bacon for $1 or avocado. Limits can also be set in the system so that only a certain amount of veggies or additions may be added. The administrator may set a specific category that must be selected to complete the order - like types of cheese, etc. Not only does this keep pricing accurate, but it also tracks inventory. On each item button, a count of stock levels will be on the bottom corner. This same modifiers feature can also be applied to things like smoothies, ice cream desserts and specialty coffee drinks.
Prep Area Kitchen Printer and Other POS Integrations
Additional peripherals may be added to CCS. These things include barcode scanners, label printers, coin dispensers, touch displays and much more. Flavors Unlimited elected to have a kitchen printer. Once a server places an order, the kitchen printer will print the details of the order in the prep area so that it may be prepared. Kitchen printers may be ordered either as thermal or as impact. Kitchen Display Systems, which include a mounted tablet, are also available as well. CCS integrations include loyalty/rewards programs, website integration, QuickBooks Integration, surveillance systems, WIC/EBT and chip card/NFC processing.

Coffee Shop in Brooklyn plan Expansion
Jilly’s Off the Corner in Brooklyn, NY Plans for Expansion
Located in the southeast part of the borough of Brooklyn, known as Flatlands, is Jilly’s Off the Corner. This coffee shop and cafe provides the area with the best coffee, smoothies, paninis, sandwiches, gelato, bagels, pastries and yogurt muffins. Although they opened in 2015, in 2016 they had already planned for expansion to Brick Oven Pizza. Based on their ever-growing popularity, it’s no wonder why this charming coffee shop has thrived in such a competitive area.
From Cup Based Inventory, to Whole Item Inventory: Using Their CCS POS System
In 2015, Jilly’s opened their shop with their Cafe Cartel System ready-to-go. With their system, they can track both whole item inventory and cup based inventory for their drinks. By inputting their recipes into the recipe builder tool, they can list the items and the portions that go into making each drink. This includes the amount of milk, espresso, syrups, to-go cups, etc. This gives them the exact cost it takes to make the drink and tracks their inventory in real time as they perform sales throughout the day. Because of this advanced oversight, they are able to monitor their cost more closely and be alerted to when they need to replenish their supplies. The best part of these features is that they are as equally effective, as they are easy-to-use.
Day to Day Operations Using Cafe Cartel POS for Coffee Shops & Cafes
To paint a general picture of a typical Jilly’s day, we will review the cycle of the day using their POS. The first employee of the day starts the day by clocking in. Then they are taken to the morning balance sheet. From here they input the amount in the cash drawer. This is done by entering the number of each bills or coins instead of counting their total value. This minimizes human error and proves to be more accurate.
Once the morning balance sheet is completed, cashiers can begin an order. From the order screen there is a right sidebar with the menu categories (coffee, gelato, etc). By selecting a category they can then select the desired item and any modifiers for it. Payment may be accepted, customer receipt printed, prep area receipt printed and then the order will be closed. This will be continued until it’s time to close. Next, the cashier may end their shift by inputting the end of day balance sheet (same process as the morning) and closing the day. Once the day is closed, CCS automatically emails out daily reports to the managers/owners of the company. These reports can be viewed periodically throughout the day as well with those who have special permission to do so.

Choosing Cafe Cartel for their Frozen Yogurt and Coffee Bar Point of Sale
Before opening City Creamery, the owners had a previous frozen yogurt shop using CCS in 2015. So in 2016 they decided on using CCS again at their new City Creamery shop. City Creamery uses two terminals with integrated scales and 8” LCD customer displays. Since the scales are integrated, CCS reads the weight from the scale and calculates the price. It also includes taring the cup so that the customer isn’t being charged for the weight of the cup.
Barista’s at City Creamery can easily modify drinks within the POS, whether it be by milks, shots or syrups. Label printing for the cups are an optional feature. With CCS Item Builder feature, City Creamy can track their coffee bar’s inventory and associated costs. For example, City Creamery can enter a drink recipe into CCS that lists the ingredients of the item and their portions. Even the cups for the drink can be added to the recipe for added cost insight. All of these sales and their cost/profit margins are tracked in CCS and be accessed by using Cafe Cartel’s analytics features and 70+ reports. Their retail items can easily be uploaded via an excel document or manually entered. Tags, label or barcodes may also be printed for the gift items if so desired.
The Best POS System for Employee Tracking and Managerial Oversight
Cafe Cartel comes with complete managerial oversight which includes, special permissions, employee time clock, labor scheduling, remote login and multiple cash drawers. At the end of the day, reports are emailed to managers though they can remote in periodically to check sales if they are working off site.

These are the reasons that many business owners choose Cafe Cartel, just like City Creamery. To review these things and more, call 866-973-8099 or request a quote today.
