Boyertown, PA – (July, 2005) Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park, a Palace Entertainment company, recently added Gateway Ticketing Systems’ Galaxy Food and Beverage solution to their existing Galaxy Ticketing Point of Sale system.
Tom McEvoy, General Manager of Big Kahuna’s, stated, “We liked the integration and the compatibility of the systems. We were also very impressed by the ParTech (POS4Xp) touch screen hardware which enabled us to easily add credit card processing.” McEvoy continued, “We saw an immediate increase of five to seven percent in food and beverage sales since we started accepting credit cards in the water park.”
Gateway Ticketing Systems provides revenue management and admission control solutions for eight other Palace Entertainment parks including Mountain Creek, Raging Waters San Dimas, Raging Waters San Jose, Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe, Castle Park, Silver Springs, Splish Splash and Wild Waters.
