Article Overview: Let your retail point of sale system save you time and money by reducing your staffing needs this holiday season

Staffing needs in the Holiday Rush

Sure, a good POS is supposed to provide reports and good inventory tracking, but one of the additional benefits is the ability to operate more efficiently, meaning you don't necessarily need to increase your staffing levels during the holidays, or at least not as much as in the past.

A good point of sale will help you make sure you have the right inventory in stock, in the right quantities.

A good point of sale will make it easier for employees to do their jobs, increasing efficiency

A good point of sale will reduce transaction times, increasing throughput and improving customer service

A good point of sale will include reports to help you predict your busiest and slowest times, allowing you to adjust staffing appropriately

A good point of sale will help reduce the stress of the holidays and help you maintain your precious margins in these competitive times.

Don't be left out this year, make sure your POS is up to date and ready for the rush.

Re: Want to make a fortune? Call Rush Limbaugh! - Very interesting, and what a unique way of advertising! I've listened to Rush before, as I agree with most of his viewpoints, but never have I called in. I wonder if this book was related to something Rush was talking about and taking callers for? I don't think you can just call in on any random topic that has nothing to do with what he's discussing at that time. That would be interesting to know.

Re: Want to make a fortune? Call Rush Limbaugh! - I see I didn't give enough info! On Friday when this young man called, he said that the book wasn't selling at all. So he and Rush talk about it and the young man revealed that they owed a great deal to the Marines, and so they would give a portion of the proceeds of the book to a Marines charity called The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. So today, Monday, three days later, the book is out of stock on Amazon. So I think it was a combination of factors. 1) The Rush Limbaugh show gets a lot of listeners, who previously hadn't heard of the book 2) A majority of Limbaugh listeners are people who support are armed forces. (Limbaugh himself had donated money to the same charity.) I [i:31abtpem]hope [/i:31abtpem]the book is good! And I hope the two authors follow through on their promise to donate that money! (I've heard of a lot of scams where people say a family member has cancer, and they get a lot of donations, which they then spend on themselves!) However, these guys sound legit, so I'm happy for them!
Men and Women, or Republican vs Democrat? - >>I don't know many men who talk about the environment so I think you're right that it probably wouldn't be in their top ten It all depends on what you mean by the environment. Global warming? Yes...men such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannitty and Neal Boortz say it's not happening and that it's just an anti-capitalist plot. And I think the Republicans prefer to believe that while Democrats - male, ie Al Gore - are pushing it for all its worth. Meanwhile female Sheryl Crowe is telling us to use one square of bathroom tissue a piece... that's just plain silly! If American Women were that concerned about the environment they'd all be riding their bikes to work instead of driving those big old SUVs...
