Case study

Four Hotel Outlets, One Cloud POS

An independent GTA hotel needed its restaurant, lobby bar, room service, and banquets to work as one operation. Helios implemented Oracle MICROS Simphony and connected it to the hotel's property management system, so every charge lands on the right folio automatically.

Outlets managed from one cloud back-office

0

Minutes of downtime during the overnight cutover

Each outlet ran on its own aging terminals, and room charges were keyed into the property management system by hand at the end of every shift. Night audit took hours, and a missed charge meant lost revenue.

  • Manual posting of room charges from four outlets
  • No shared menu or pricing between the restaurant and room service
  • Banquet checks tracked in spreadsheets

Helios designed a Simphony Cloud environment with a revenue centre for each outlet, one enterprise menu, and a direct interface to the hotel's PMS. Bartenders and servers now charge to a room in two taps, and managers see every outlet in one dashboard.

We staged all workstations in advance and cut over overnight, after the last room-service order and before breakfast.
