New Casio epos connection.
CaterBook is now compatible with the Casio UKSVR connection enabling items to be charged directly from the bar or restaurant onto guest bills.
This connection expands our epos connectivity to include many major epos systems available so please call us on 01803 840 414 to check if your existing epos system is compatible.

IPads are cool, apparently.
It can`t be argued that these flat things are pretty nifty but the apps are usually a bit light and fluffy if you know what we mean. 600 quid to play Angry Birds?
However, here is a definate use for an iPad - CaterBook. But this isn`t an app as such. We won`t even charge you extra for it! Download the LogMeIn App (it`s about 20 pounds from the app store) and Bob`s your uncle. You can use CaterBook on your iPad from your PC across the internet.
Very simple, very useful and actually quite cool.

OK. This is definately a trend
Congratulations needed again for CaterBook clients The Cary Arms. Winners of the 2011 Conde Nast Johansens Excellence Awards
Having also won the Visit Devon Awards this is great news and an example to everyone that even in tough economic times there is plenty of scope to shine!

What- Another two winners!?
Well this is starting to look like a trend as we congratulate all the winners of the Visit Devon Tourism Awards. 2 of the 3 winners are CaterBook hotels and fully deserve the hard won credit.
Special congratulations to the Cary Arms and to The Somerville.

This is the THIRD pair of big hospitality winners this year who use CaterBook! - we think it shows an attention to detail that makes a good hotel, great!

Counting the Calories

So how exactly, do you give a calorie count on a Filet Mignon that you just cooked without setting fire to it in a laboratory?

CaterBook now compatible with Fidelity GPos

We have now integrated Fidelity GPos protocol connections into CaterBook so this increases our connectivity to third party epos bar and retail systems even further. If you have CaterBook and also have ICRTouch, GPos, Vectron and others it is very likely these are compatible
Call us on 01803 840 414 for more information.

CaterBook now has a facebook page
Frankly we don`t have much time for this kind of nonsense but we did what our marketing advisers told us and gotten ourselves embroiled in social networking. So if you have a facebook account, you can be our friend and hear from us everytime we feel like making inane comments...

CaterBook the movie!
We thought our site was a little dry and lacking in humanity so we went out with a camera crew and asked some clients to talk about CaterBook as part of our marketing. Richard Beaman and Gary Waters agreed to chat with us and you can see the results here:

Very boring but important.
PCI requirements are becoming more stringent all the time and any business that handles credit card information are required to be compliant. CaterBook handles this information very carefully and securely with automatic deletion and very strong encyption routines. However all the details are here is you need them.

PCI compliance officially.

New program functionality
A new alphabetical ordering routine has been added to CaterBook enabling a new viewing method for clients.
Booking note diplays have been added to the shuffle chart.
Hidden agency payments functionality added.

Visit Scotland Going into public ownership
The controversial VisitScotland.com website is being taken into public ownership after several years of losses amounting to more than 12 million pounds of public money.
The long term effects of this are unquantifiable, however the ReclaimVS campaign is hailing this as a victory for common sense.
Our view at CaterActive is the hope that the publicly financed tourism agencies in the UK will recognise the need for inclusive strategies as opposed to monopolistic & exclusive partnerships.
