Transcend POS… Xenial is a complete cloud restaurant management platform. From customer orders to powerful cloud reporting, Xenial (now Genius) has you covered front-to-back and inside-out. Simple, affordable and powerful – Xenial is enterprise power made smartphone easy. If you run a single location or an entire large enterprise, Xenial will keep you focused on food, brand and customer experience, not babysitting a POS system. The app is free to download but it does require a monthly subscription to activate and use per store location. With the basic subscription plan you get: -Ordering -Dynamic menus -Localized sales tax engine -Reporting -Time clock -Payment connection -Payroll connection For a little more each, monthly – you can add: +Kitchen management +Scheduling +Inventory +Instant data & alerts +Manager log & tasks +B2C CRM +Stored value (gift cards) +Loyalty +Customer engagement +Email campaigns +Single-use coupons. All data is backed up to the cloud and gives individual store controls and aggregated reporting and data to single and multi-unit operators. The app runs locally at the restaurant and provides ordering, menus, cash management, payment integration, time clocking, local reports and kitchen display management (extra, add on). You pay one fixed monthly price. You also get to load Xenial on as many devices to run your store for that single price. We’ve killed per terminal fees. 2 terminals? One price. 4 terminals? Same price. 20 terminals? Same price! It is “bulletproof”, even if the internet goes down. Xenial apps all share data on your local network. Advanced reporting, inventory, labor scheduling, etc. all live on the cloud. If the internet goes down, your local Xenial apps keep running the store and sharing order information for up to 30 days. Best of all, all the local functions exist in the apps. That means you can even run end of shift and end of day reports without internet. There are no POS servers with it. Local apps talk to each other and the cloud. There are no network servers involved with Xenial in your store. It’s just like your smartphone – easy. Easy, affordable, powerful – that’s Xenial (now Genius)!
