One of the great features of our restaurant software has been the built in customer loyalty function.  We are excited to announce that this customer loyalty functionality is now available in our Touch POS software. Whether your business is a grocery store, yogurt shop, or a retail location, we have a customer loyalty program that will fit your needs.  The software has a purchase discount program, a loyalty credits program, and a punch card program.  Customer loyalty cards can be printed and customized for your business.

This software update is available to all BPA customers and is a regular program update included in your license and support fees.  For more information on this update or for pricing on loyalty cards please contact us at (801)336-3303.

Our Tech Support department will often see users backup their BPA software only to their server computer. However, if this hard drive crashes, we have no way to recover the backup.

Our latest Business Plus Accounting update contains expanded backup functionality.  We now allow you to specify multiple backup locations for your Business Plus Accounting software.  For example, you can create a backup somewhere on your server computer, on another computer on the network, or on an external hard drive.

Restaurant Pro, Delivery Pro, and Retail Touch POS Customers

As you may know, within Business Plus Accounting, you can specify different colors of your menu items.  However, depending on the color you choose, it may be difficult to read the text on the button.  With our latest update, we now automatically change the text color on the button to black or white, depending on the button color you choose.
