Interfaces

Since the advent of Windows and open sources, developers have been successful in interfacing programs to create solutions that were not previously available. However, interfaces are one way streets that pose a difficulty: information must be housed in two locations. The interfaced program can’t query the main application.

The answer? Integration. Industry leaders, such as Aloha, are continually identifying and integrating critical functions previously interfaced. Instead of interfacing such third party programs as reservations and table management, frequency, and gift cards, those functions are now being integrated directly into the POS itself, providing a 360 degree view of the customer.

While interfacing continues to be a solution to the widening requirements of business operation, integration will become more and more important in POS development. Key above house and back of house functions, previously performed by third party software providers, will be added directly to the POS offering.

Abacus understands that operators need to interface their POS to “best of breed” applications, such as finance and accounting, to extend their business solution. Abacus and Aloha have answered this requirement with a rich interface to the POS software: Aloha Connect. Aloha Connect provides a structured framework for you to extend the capabilities of your Aloha solution, add breadth to your technology, and meet your business needs today and in the future.
