The Access Group to launch hospitality division
Access Group will officially launch its new dedicated Hospitality Division to leading pub, bar, restaurant, food-to-go, hotel and leisure operators at the Kitty Hawk, London, on Thursday 9 November 2017.
The official launch follows the recent addition of EPOS and stock management specialists Intelligent Business Systems along with workforce management and managed payroll services software house Selima to the Access Group’s growing portfolio of business management solutions.
IBS and Selima products will be integrated to existing Access Group products, such as financials, payroll and business intelligence, to offer an integrated, cloud-based business management suite for pub, bar, restaurant, food-to-go, hotel and leisure operators.
“The hospitality sector is exciting, dynamic and a growing opportunity but it’s also challenging. Its unique nature warranted the creation of a dedicated division within Access Group where our team will focus on delivering great business value by combining IBS and Selima with our extensive range of complementary software products and services,” said Chris Bayne, Chief Executive Officer, Access Group.
“Our ambition for the Hospitality Division is to become the go-to provider for both early-stage multi-site businesses with a growth strategy or well-established operators wishing to harness the power of great technology to better manage their operation and enhance their customers’ experience. We are also 100% focused on the UK market and that’s how we plan to keep it.”
“We think our current products and services are unmatched in the hospitality sector and they are going to get even better with significant further investment. I am delighted to welcome both Selima and Intelligent Business Systems into the Access family and hope to make further announcements over the coming months about adding more product lines to our growing business management suite.”
Access Hospitality solutions are integral to the success and profitability of many leading multi-site hospitality brands. The new Hospitality Division already works with many well known names including Bone Daddies, The Brighton Pier Group, Cirrus Inns, EAT, Franco Manca, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Harry Ramsden’s, Hawksmoor, Ideal Collection, Inception Group, Itsu, Peach Pubs, POD, Pure, Revolution Bars Group, Rick Stein Group, Snug Pubs, The Real Greek, Young’s & Co and Wright & Bell.
