Major Technological Achievement for the Restaurant Industry
The integration of Foodline’s proprietary Foodline Reservations Solution (FRS(TM)) and RDC’s POSitouch will enable a data exchange between the two technologies, representing a major technological achievement for the restaurant industry. The integration will allow restaurants to capture, analyze, and use guest’s spending behavior and visit history to provide more personalized customer service and engage in direct and one-to-one marketing. By synchronizing guest data via ASP tools, restaurants will be able to access information and generate robust reports from any Internet connected computer. Multi-unit restaurants in particular, will benefit from the centralized reporting capabilities, enabling them to combine information between stores. Additionally, running both applications from one terminal will mean lower hardware and installation costs to restaurant customers.
Extended Market Reach Through POSitouch Distribution Channels
As part of the arrangement, RDC, and its international network of business partners and authorized POSitouch resellers, will promote the sale of FRSTM and the Foodline range of products and services. This will include promotions to both POSitouch’s existing customer base, representing over 11,000 locations, as well as to prospective new accounts.

By GlobalData“Integrating data between RDC’s pace-setting point of sale products and Foodline’s industry-leading diner and reservation information management technology exponentially increases the value proposition to our joint restaurant customers, who can now personalize service to guests based on frequency and spending habits,” said Paul Lightfoot, CEO of Foodline.com.
“In addition, we look forward to the acceleration of our industry-leading adoption rates as the POSitouch sales channels bundle Foodline’s products into their selling efforts.”
“Working closely with a market leader like Foodline.com continues to show that POSitouch is committed to bring the best value to its customers. Adding their technologies to our market leading POS and Back Office solution again separates both our POSitouch software and our authorized resellers from other products,” said Winfield Platt, Vice President of RDC. “POSitouch has always led with innovative technologies and strategies — this relationship with Foodline will build upon that trend.”
