Hangout Bar & Grill subscribes to gPOS service

The management at Jaco’s new “Hangout CR Bar & Grill” have followed suit with the GreenRoom and decided to deploy a locally supported Point of Sale system.   And why not?  gPOS has the largest user base in the Jaco area.  Not to mention stellar support from a locally based company.

Working closely with the GreenRoom owners the Hangout management decided to leverage GeckoTech’s gPOS managed service for a number of reasons:

  1. Unparalleled support.  The ability to call a support line and KNOW that the other end will answer and provide timely and professional support.
  2. Managed service options that eliminate large capital outlay for expensive, but necessary, operational systems.
  3. Continuity of management/control interfaces with sister restaurant the GreenRoom.  GreenRoom uses gPOS as well, so management teams from both properties will be able to step in for the others.

Welcome to the gPOS group of satisfied users.

Poseidon takes aim at easier control of SkyLounge TVs

The problem is as old as time itself.   Countless TVs, countless sources of content, countless remotes.   And no one who knows how to operate them all!!   That is why Tim Odom, owner of Hotel Poseidon, decided to call in the “big guns” to help unify his control points for the 7 TVs he recently installed in his Sky Lounge Sports Bar.  Step in GeckoTech.   We designed a system that used commercial off the shelf components to redistribute HD video over CAT5 cables to each of the TVs.   The key components were a video switcher and a URC KP900.   These two components will allow the most naive wait staff to push any content to any TV in the SkyLounge or Poseidon Restaurant.  Gone are the days of the 10PM calls to Tim’s house asking “how do I get ESPN2 on the TV4?”.    Life only gets easier with GeckoTech

Breeze re-brands itself as Papichulos

Local Jaco restaurant, Breeze, has reopened its doors after an 18 month hiatus.   At the same time they are re-branding themselves and upgrading their GeckoPOS system to the latest version thus allowing priced modifiers and proximity credentialing (as well as countless other updates/fixes over the past 18 months).   Good luch Papichulos.

Wishbone steps into 21st century with GeckoTech

Wishbone, Jaco’s oldest family owned/operated restaurant, has long been a staple for the Jaco surf community. Both locals and tourists. Wishbone is known as the restaurant with consistent food and drink. Wishbone, up until October of this year has been operating by hand. Hand receipts, hand time tracking, hand chits… In order to stay competitive Wishbone saw the need to leverage technologies such as Point of Sale, and Video Surveillance. Which of course drives additional requirements such as Power Backup. Step in GeckoTech: With managed services such GeckoPOS, GeckoWatch, and GeckoPower, Wishbone is able to realize its dream of automating without the “breaking the bank”. Welcome aboard Wishbone!!

Monaco upgrades voice/data infrastructure

Monaco, one of Jaco’s finer condominiums, recently upgraded its ailing voice and data infrastructure. Specifically its cabling backbone and distribution topology. The new and improved cabling, provided by GeckoTech, will improve overall guest experience relative to both voice and data service. The project has been in the works over the last 3 months, and was finalized in early August. GeckoTech provided engineering and oversight services, while the actual cable installation was provided by Tekna Constructores. Project was on time and on budget.
