    Hi, Mike...Thanks for your response. In fact I am VERY interested in the SelbySoft POS. Liked what I read about it in the article about POS systems in this month's CoffeeTalk magazine. Really like the fact that it is user-friendly and easy to learn. Can you possibly send me any printed information about the system? Also can you give me an idea of the cost I am looking at? My contact info: John Andriote, Downtown Joe, 166 Yantic St., #508, Norwich, CT 06360. Thank you very much.

    Hey Mike. I'd love a pass for CoffeeFest Seattle. Look forward to seeing you. I should have time to upgrade our SP-1 next week. I'll call tech support then. I like the application! It's easy to train new employees the register.

    I'll be receiving my gift cards early September. Not sure how to setup my gift card program once I receive them.

    Hi Mike,

    Just wanted to quickly introduce myself to you...

    I am the southend sales manager for Caffe D'arte. We will be at Coffee Fest this year, hopefully I will get a chance to stop by and visit your booth!

    Also, if you haven't yet had a chance to stop into the Beyond the Bridge Cafe in Sumner you are missing out!

    Hi Mike. Yes I went to the World Tea Expo in Vegas this past June. I took a couple of my baristas with me so they could learn more about tea and also do some tea tastings. Do you go to the Tea Expo?
  • Alex

    Thank you so much, Mike! Thank you for calling the other day. I am sorry for not responding. I am at the cafe from 6am till 9pm including today :)
    I am still intending on getting the system from you. Just trying to allocate some cash to it...hopefully soon!
  • teresa pilarz

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for the message. I'm working on plans for a cart at the moment, and although I've used POS systems before, I'm not too familiar with how they work behind the scenes. Is yours compatible w/ Mac? What do you recommend for carts or is it overkill? Is training provided?
  • Brady

    Hi Mike. Good to "meet" you.
  • Amy

    Hi! Thx for the welcome!
  • Amelie & Barb

    Thanks Mike...Didn't realize that Simpatico had your software. May have to contact him for further investigation :)
  • Denice Chenault

    Thanks so much for the nice message Mike!
  • Shaun Parrish

    Thanks Mike! I'll hit you up when we're ready to move into the 21st century. A POS system would be nice. I'll check out your website.

    hi Mike, i'm advising a team entering the Baltimore and Brandywine retail markets. it'd be collectively advantageous to partner Sell n Soft, or your parent enterprise with the cross promotions that are ongoing. the kinds of media integrations i suspect feature optimal yield can be formulated around very tight schedules of shared exposure that translate directly into specific customer sharing arrangements. the Baltimore/Brandywine team's targeting alliances with the mayor's & comptrollers' office. we want to enlist their influence, along with Prince George's County (Maryland's) council member Marilynn Bland's in negotiating a national settlement pact with Wells Fargo & Co. banking group concerning mortgage administration improprieties. Tri-Coastal Media, a holding of California based marketing executive Maggie Chan, in tandem with Brooklyn, NY based women headed documentary film group Z-Fam, Inc. will be debuting jazz history affiliated themes within the 11,000 location retail deployment program.

    mentoring and internship programs for real estate investors and marketing professionals being orchestrated by the Music, Artc & Life Skills Institute, aka MALSI will be debuting smart card adapted subscription membership operations within 5M sf of minority administrated property development. it'd be fantastic to have an early stage revenue sharing focused vendor/advertiser such as your outfit in the undertaking. one of our exciting candidate regional strategic allies is doing a $ 280M historic development of an old black owned winery in Brandywine (called Wilmer Park) with several restaurant/hotel components. that developer's a former IBM software executive, with extensive background in the NJ area.

    Vetco Alternative Fuel, Inc.'s 3rd largest investor (Halal Developers) is an aggressive Ohio based spin-off of coffee, tea and coco distribtution operations who're establishing a dry nightclub constellation of 7 day dance themed venues with varying restaurant/cafe co-tenancies commonly licensed from Tire University, a Mullins, South Carolina training and license/merchandising venture. Halal Developers and New Orleans based Mission Initiative, LLC are senior marketers of retail partnerships nationwide throughout their separate real estate portfolios. on Oct. 28th, we'll be formally announcing their first $ 1B portfolio of transactions featuring restaurants in Boca Raton, Panama City and Chicago through NYC-Hoboken/R.I. & Hartford regions. other Honolulu bed & breakfast partnerships, alogn with spa, health club/gym based cafes operating as High Definition will be introduced under 25th to 40th year anniversary campaigns on-line.

    we have no POS partners for any of the thousands of films, commercials and incidental marketing material production projects already in the pipeline. Marilynn Bland's a very photogenic politician. the mayor of Baltimore and Joan M. Pratt (Baltimore's comptroller) are women of crucial visibility and pension administration related roles. we're engineering significant "secret celebrity" depth within sustainable regional re-development activities; comprising a movie-star effect toward recruitment of follow-on investor segments for urban and rural tier(s).

    Thank you Mike! I was in a rush to set up my profile but will definitely get back to it! It's just a really busy time of year! I'm happy to have been invited to the site by my friend and customer Sarah and her team. The forum looks like it is both very useful and a lot of fun!

    Cheers,

    Erez
  • Jayme Coffey

    Thanks, Mike! I just wandered into the site. I'll stop by! It's been bad being limited to S***bucks since moving back to Puyallup. I'll add more to my profile, too. But doesn't my name speak for itself? :) Hey I'm teaching a home-buying class this Thursday night if you know anyone that's interested (covering the tax credit, optimizing credit scores, and the overall buying process). There's a fee but as the featured speaker I can waive it for folks that I sign up. It's informational, not sales. I'll come by with a flyer and grab a cup of whatever you recommend (I'm not a hard-core enthusiast. I like a tiny bit of sweet).

    Hi. Thanks for the warm welcome.
  • Benjamin H Wilkinson

    Mike! Doing well. THanks for asking.

    Truth be told, I'm no longer at The Publick Cup. But, I miss them very much. I believe Tracy is really excited about your product, just incredibly busy these days. When the time is right, she'll make the choice.

    In the mean time, I'm working with Blue State Coffee. Unfortunately, we're already locked into CSM. I was really looking forward to working with SP-1.
