Nextep Delivers More Than Orders Via iPad, iPhone

Troy-based Nextep Systems, a provider of customer self order technology, recently added iPad ordering to its automated ordering portfolio.

Nextep iPad Ordering provides restaurants, deli operators, and other high-volume venues two new cost effective options: Self Order iPad kiosks and line-busting tablets. Running MyNextep, Nextep's enterprise software, the iPads seamlessly integrate with existing point-of-sale and back-end systems.

Nextep's Self Order iPad is mounted in a secure, industrial-grade enclosure and mounted to the counter. Alternatively, the line-busting tablet option is mobile and includes a ruggedized enclosure with hand strap for employee use. Customers can order and pay at the Nextep iPad Kiosk, shortening lines, increasing check averages, and providing additional order point options to guests.

"Nextep self order solutions reduce errors, remember customers' previous order preferences, strengthen customer loyalty, and significantly improve check averages through intuitive upselling," said Tommy Woycik, president of Nextep Systems. "The popularity of the iPad, as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch, has a lot of companies jumping on the self order bandwagon, as these devices offer new ways to engage the customer. Like every device, they require best-in-class, intuitive and secure software to deliver an exceptional experience. After six years of focused self order solution development, Nextep's software is proven to provide unparalleled functionality for self order devices."

Nextep provides enterprise software and industrial grade hardware, as well as installation, support, and full integration to existing POS and backend systems. MyNextep software provides a single touchpoint for managing menu items and prices for kiosks, digital menu boards, online and mobile ordering.

Founded in 2004, Nextep provides automated ordering hardware and software now at work at restaurants, casinos, airports, sporting venues, grocery stores, hotels and other high-volume venues. More at  www.nextepsystems.com.
