Pita Pit to retain hardware from Runcorn-based AURES Technologies

International franchise Pita Pit has decided to continue using the products of Cheshire-based AURES Technologies as it implements changes across its business.

The restaurant brand, which has an eatery in Manchester, has retained AURES’ Sango touchscreen EPoS (electronic point of sale) terminals during its switch to new cloud-based technology that it hopes will unlock growth.

The technology, from London-based hospitality management system developer Kobas, is being implemented to help the franchise match the growth levels it has so far experienced in the US and Canada.

Kobas’ CEO and founder, James O’Sullivan, said: “Importantly for Pita Pit, given that it’s growing a business with tens if not hundreds of stores in different geographies and needs complete real-time trading visibility and control, the Kobas solution is browser-accessed and cloud-based.

“This makes it universally available at any time, from any device, anywhere in the world.”

Pita Pit plans to expand in cities such as Manchester and Leeds, with a total of 80 new stores planned between now and 2019.

James continued: “As for EPoS hardware, Pita Pit was already using Sango terminals from AURES Technologies. The Sangos have been very reliable and are very striking to look at, so Pita Pit was keen to keep them to run our new software.”
