Zoos and Aquariums

The Zoo and Aquarium
Challenge
- What
tools are available to help staff efficiently validate large groups,
season pass customers and consignment ticket holders?
- Is
there a better way to control sales at souvenir shops, concession stands
and remote carts and still maintain tight central cash and inventory
control?
- How can
you manage the scheduling of special events and exhibits
- How
can you track where customers are from?
Gatemaster's
point of sale solutions will enable your zoo or aquarium to manage and
integrate each income producing area - right down to your portable stands.
Manage and monitor admissions, guest services, rentals and party events
from anywhere in the world. Connect the entire facility wirelessly, tracking
sales wherever they take place. By implementing the Gatemaster point of
sale system you will have the tools to cut costs, improve management efficiency,
enhance your customer's experience and dramatically increase sales.
____________
Challenge:
Efficiently processing large groups
& season pass holders and automating their entry.
Your customer's
first impression takes place at the Admission entrance. Front entrance
staff need to process a variety of different transactions from walk-up
ticketing and season passes to advanced reservations and Internet tickets.
Access to the facility needs to be quick and easy for paid customers,
yet controlled to ensure unauthorized access doesn't occur.
Gatemaster's
flexible point of sale admission system quickly processes transactions
of all types and automatically controls access.
-
Create touch screen menus specific to each sales
point. This combined with fast central credit card processing dramatically
improves your customer experience.
-
Verify a season pass customer by simply scanning
their pass and instantly viewing their photo. Print a ticket and they
are in the park.
-
Checking in large groups can be done quickly and
easily. A group's event details are available with a one button push
and printing a of group of tickets or wristbands is just as simple!
-
Corporate and company consignment tickets are automatically
tracked by simply scanning the barcode on a ticket - this prints the
admission ticket and bills the appropriate partner.
-
Entrance to the facility can be controlled using
Gatemaster's automated turnstiles and our handheld "Line-busters".
Install an automated access control solution at your entrance and
enable your advanced reservation and internet customers to bypass
the ticket booths all together. Our "SmartGate" readers
will validate each customer instantly - no matter where they purchased
their ticket.

____________
Challenge:Consolidating
all points of sale - including admissions, retail, food & beverage
and remote carts.
A common challenge
at many zoos and aquariums is maintaining central control of sales at
the various revenue centers throughout the facility. In addition to admissions,
there are gift shops, snack bars, remote carts, guest services desks and
administrative offices. If each area can use the same system for managing
sales, tracking customers and groups, and providing reports a dramatic
cut in costs and an increase in productivity can be realized.
The
Gatemaster system provides advanced point-of-sale features with customer
tracking while connecting your most remote stations wirelessly.
-
Take advantage of recent breakthroughs in wireless
technology to connect every area of your zoo or aquarium. Gatemaster
specializes in providing this capability to entertainment venues which
have separate sales areas scattered in remote areas. Now you can connect
those roaming sales carts and remote snack counters - include them
in your sales reports and monitor them from your office in real time.
- Wireless handhelds can be used as "Line-Busters" at your
entrance or to verify special event tickets or monitor access to catered
events. Use them any time you need a fast portable way to check customers
through a line.
-
Look to Gatemaster to do it all. We can even create
custom integrated solutions with third party systems who are best
in their class including accounting systems, time and attendance software,
property management systems, full service restaurant software and
more.
