Squirrel Systems, a leading restaurant management supplier for the hospitality industry has completed integration and pilot testing with Valutec Card Systems Gift Card offering. One of the Pacific Northwest's most prestigious restaurant groups, The Purple Café, worked closely with Pacific Restaurant Systems (PRS), Squirrel and Valutec to pilot the new offering. "Purple Café had selected Valutec as its preferred Gift Card vendor and Squirrel worked closely with our team to deliver the solution " said Scott Fallon, President of Pacific Restaurant Systems. "Our customers are very happy with the integrated gift card solution and we believe Valutec will be a good solution for our market segment." The gift card sales in the Full Service restaurant space represented an average of 4.5% to 6% annual sales and are expected to continue to grow in popularity according to the National Restaurant Association 2007 Forecast report.
