The Lighthouse Bayview Café, the much lauded harbor view restaurant on Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, Calif., today announces its conversion to Custom Business Solutions’ NorthStar Order Entry as its exclusive Point of Sale solution.
The celebrated harbor-front restaurant serves guests in its replica lighthouse dining room, an outdoor and upstairs patio, and through a walk-up window for beach visitors. Lighthouse Bayview Café servers will use a combination of handheld tablets and traditional point-of-sale terminals to manage orders and payments while increasing kitchen efficiencies. NorthStar’s intuitive and easy-to-use workflow system made training and implementation quick and efficient for Lighthouse staff.
Custom Business Solutions (CBS) developed NorthStar Order Entry, the hospitality industry’s first omnichannel, cloud-based POS system, to deliver better data visibility and improved restaurant management through a robust point-of-sale system. NorthStar is being used by numerous brands across the U.S. in traditional, hand-held and tabletop ordering scenarios.
For Lighthouse Bayview Café, the NorthStar point of sale system also provides integrations with Ctuit restaurant management software, HotSchedules and Paytronix gift card system.
“The cloud-based system provides real time information and remote visibility of restaurant operations, allowing us to streamline our kitchen operations. This high level of visibility lets us problem solve in real time and better serve our guests,” said James Elliott, Director of IT for Lighthouse Bayview Café. “NorthStar provides a quality point of sale solution that works right out of the box. It’s clear that this system was created by people who understand restaurants.”
“NorthStar delivers a quality solution that helps businesses of any size operate smoothly and more efficiently,” said Art Julian, founder and CEO of CBS. “We look forward to supporting Lighthouse Bayview Café as the restaurant continues to grow.”
