Posera Announces the Successful Launch of its Integrated POS Solution for World-class Hotels

TORONTO, April 19, 2017 /CNW/ - Posera Ltd. (TSX : PAY) ("Posera" or the "Company"), a leading provider of hospitality point-of-sale (POS) software solutions, today announces the launch of its integrated POS solution for the hotel industry as a new major strategic initiative.

As the hotel industry represents an enormous growth opportunity for the hospitality market, Posera has developed a targeted POS solution to answer the demand. Posera has demonstrated these capabilities at the International Hotel Technology Forum in Paris, April 5-7, 2017 to hundreds of hoteliers leading operations, management, and technology investments globally.

Prestigious hotel properties in Paris, Strasbourg, Barcelona, Luxembourg and more throughout Europe have selected Maitre'D^® to replace their outdated and unsupported POS software for the following reasons:

• Integrates with major Property Management Systems across 16 revenue categories;
• Includes a user friendly modular back-office for instantaneous menu updating and employee management; and
• The Databoard™ app allows for real-time alerts and reporting, from the POS, directly to iOS and Android mobile phones.

"The pressing needs of the hotel industry are clear, as hotels worldwide seek to compete with rivals in the food and beverage industry, along with their traditional competitors. Guests demand the same level of professionalism and quality across all services and this market is fiercely competitive both for guests and incremental food and beverage revenue", said Dan Poirier, Chief Executive Officer. "We provide a fully integrated POS solution to some of the largest and most prestigious hotel brands worldwide. We are delighted to announce that 11 hotel installations have already been completed in a short 120 days, as part of Posera's initiative to expand into the global hotel market," added Poirier.
