Author Topic: BoxOffice-Concession Software Systems Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-14-2005 12:53 PM                     I have used Ready Theatre System since it's beginning....the DOS days. So that's something like 10 years. One of it's greatest claims to fame I believe, is it will run just fine on any machine that can run Windoze. It's only shortfall I believe, is lack of a manual for those using it for the first time. And the help file is less than helpful in some areas. But with the recent addition of built-in Remote Control, Semi-secure/controlled access web browsing and email from with-in RTS, and it's many internet capabilities, I haven't run across any other software that can come close to it. RTS can handle, gift cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, internet ticketing, time clock, payroll, export to quickbooks and more. I've tried out Sensible Cinema several times over the years, and have never seen any reason to leave RTS.  |  IP: Logged Jacob A.

We don't use it to it's fullest potential here but it sure beats the hell out of PACER CATS....ugh...I hope I never see that again.

Now we really liked Sensible as a simple ticketing package we LOVE RTS for the overall solution for cinema management. Sensible's windows based suite product looks good, but it has BIG demand for hardware where RTS can run on pretty much anything. As far as cost goes, RTS wins that one hands down! If you put this product up against OmniTerm, Retriever, RDS, etc. - it is a reel (reel... get it) bargooon! As far as features, there are lots of excellent features to help us compete with the big boys. The in house debit card has to be my single favorite. Easy to use (and afford) Internet ticketing is outstanding. Integration with Rentrak and soon EDI makes the daily reporting chore a snap. Did I mention the integrated employee scheduler or the employee time clock? AND, RTS's biggest strength (in my opinion) has to be the perpetual development process. They are always adding new features and they are always willing to listen to (and implement)suggestions made by users. Tech support is available when we need it and the Rob seems to always be available to work through those issues that are not as easy to resolve. All in all - RTS is absolutely our recommendation.  |  IP: Logged
