“We’ve taken the stance of using only ‘Best of Breed’ solutions in our
hotels, and, in our opinion, Agilysys provides the most advanced
point-of-sale solution on the market,” said Mandarin Oriental hotel Group’s
Vice President of hotel Information Systems Gary McCallum. “The InfoGenesis
POS combines an accessible user interface with powerful configuration and
reporting tools, which enables us to provide exceptional guest service. It’s
always exciting to introduce new staff to the system — particularly if
they’ve worked with other POS solutions — and watch their eyes light up when
they use it. Its performance and flexibility are unmatched in the industry.”
The InfoGenesis POS system combines the performance, familiarity and
ease-of-use of Windows software with a relational database to deliver a
robust point-of-sale solution scalable enough for hospitality operations of
all sizes. The InfoGenesis POS solution can manage any combination of dining,
bar, room service and gift shop operations. Features of the system include:

— Real-time reporting capabilities that enable properties to create
customized reports and review guest spending patterns;

— Sorting, filtering and grouping options that enable staff to locate
information quickly and easily;

— Organizational controls that allow staff to monitor configuration
changes in the system; and

— Encryption tools that ensure the security of guest data.

“The InfoGenesis POS solution has a successful track record at many of
the world’s leading hotels and is ideally suited to the needs of Mandarin
Oriental Hyde Park,” said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general
manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. “The system’s flexibility
and functionality not only will enable the property’s food and beverage
operations to run at peak efficiency, but also will allow the hotel to
capitalize on revenue opportunities like never before.”
With the tranquility of Hyde Park on one side and the sophistication of
Knightsbridge on the other, the historic five-star Mandarin Oriental Hyde
Park boasts London’s most perfect location. Breathtaking views of the park
are offered from many of the sumptuous suites, as well as from the hotel’s
award-winning restaurants, Foliage and The Park, while Mandarin Bar is
the center of the city’s nightlife. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental offers a
haven of tranquility in the heart of Knightsbridge where East and West blend
in harmony, and a series of tailor-made treatments known as ‘Time Rituals’
draw on exotic therapies and philosophies from around the world.
