At one point Starbucks was opening 8 new stores a day worldwide. Coffee was the newest craze and everyone had to have their ice mocha latte or else the day would not go right. All stores pretty much looked the same, having identical fixtures, furniture, and of course coffee. Click Here to See Coffee Shop POS Systems

Franchise POS for Frozen Yogurt

Since franchises are all built under the same blue print template, the Point of Sale Systems and the Surveillance Security Camera Systems were also identical. This allowed corporate to be able to control all aspects of the store including sales and security.

The latest fad following the original Pinkberry seems to be Frozen Yogurt. With new independent shops opening nationwide especially in year around warm locations such as Southern California. Since the 2004 Sintel Systems has been providing POS for the retail, food service, and produce industries. In 2007 we launched our Frozen Yogurt POS package complete with ounce scale.

Yogurt With A Twist is a perfect example of a Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt Shop with a Point of Sale Systems using a Scale.   Customers create their own Frozen Yogurt and add as many toppings as they desire.   Since the product is sold by the ounce, the customer can control the value of the product.  IT is also the most efficient way for the customer, because they get exactly the portion they believe is correct for them.  Customer are simply not limited by small, medium, large sizes or limited toppings amount per order.

SURVEILLANCE:  The Surveillance System consists of a 4 Camera Package covering the front and back prep area. It is important to note the role surveillance plays in a Frozen Yogurt Store.  Yogurt With A Twist uses CCTV to protect their most valuable assets: Frozen Yogurt Machines.  Since it is the customer pouring the frozen yogurt, it is important to cover such areas as a deterrent.

Active Cultures Frozen Yogurt is our example of a full service frozen yogurt store.  Here the process is different then the weighted method.  Full Service frozen yogurt requires a traditional menu with pre-designed frozen yogurt products.  Surveillance is more preventive in regards to employee behavior rather then customer.  Since the employee is the person creating the product, it is important to make sure that all products are created in according to the recipe provided.  Extending topping portions can become instant lose in sales due to shrinkage.

At Active Cultures Frozen Yogurt located close to Universal Studios the Point of Sale Systems is integrated with a Label Maker. Here the customer orders their desired frozen yogurt product and it is punched in the system first.  Once the item is paid for, a label is printed and posted on the frozen yogurt cup.  Labels are printed with customer and order information for the frozen yogurt artist to creates the desired product for the customer off the label.

Opening on Monday May 18th, 2009, Yogurt With a Twist is the newest and coolest Frozen Yogurt Shop in Southern California.  With frozen yogurt being the new Starbucks Coffee there seems to be one on every major street, except they are all uniquely designed with their own identity, character, and taste.  Since machines make the frozen yogurt, the major difference is in the experience you take from having a cold scoop of frozen yogurt topped with peaches and strawberry syrup.  Although toppings can be a major contributor to retaining customers, the experience is almost as important.

One factor Yogurt With a Twist expressed to Sintel Systems was the ability to process customers as efficiently as possible.  Mr. Salty understood the importance of keeping the customer happy by providing a smooth transaction process. “This is why we choose the weighted method of charging for our frozen yogurt. Plus the customer knows best what they want with their frozen yogurt, and processing the sale is very important.”
