inside of me, I have a little smile.
HATTIE: So does
your point-of-purchase system tell you which of the choices they made within
those courses because that price isn't different? Employee: Yes, it does that.
It also breaks it down into the--it separates the food amount, wine amount,
beverages amount, tax and gratuity. It separates all of that for us. I that

easy. We have such a small wine cellar that being able to just get a printout
of the wines that are sold and just update it daily really helps a lot.
HATTIE: It's fast.
It's much easier.
Employee: Oh, yes.
