Zonal is to launch an Events & Pre-Order service under its liveRES brand in time for the Christmas party season.

Available this month, liveRES Events and Pre-Order will be the hospitality industry’s only fully EPoS-integrated party planning, booking and advance payment solution.

The technology allows operators to build their own branded platform from end-to-end and it is commission free, avoiding third party booking fees.

Zonal’s Marketing Technologies commercial director, David Charlton, said: “We are excited to be unveiling this latest integrated technology solution that has been designed by our talented R&D team exclusively for hospitality businesses. Being fully integrated with our Aztec EPoS means no time is wasted re-keying orders to process payments at the time of an event, reducing the risk of mistakes and freeing up serving staff to focus on providing a great customer experience.

“We have already received a huge amount of interest from our customers and the order book is looking good, so we are confident that it will be a successful addition to our extensive suite of business enhancing technology solutions.”
