Point of Sale (POS) systems are where approximately 90% of guest-staff interactions occur, serving as an intermediary zone situated between guests' anticipation of experiencing the park's attractions and their actual enjoyment of them. Customers interact with your Amusement Park POS system during the process of entering your facility as they await being immersed in a world of fun or as they order some food and beverages to satisfy their appetites. An ineffective theme park POS software that causes delays at any customer touchpoint can significantly impact your guests’ overall experience at your facility.
Your amusement park POS system plays a crucial role in determining the speed at which cashiers can process transactions and reduce queue times. Even a seemingly simple transaction can be the difference between an unforgettable guest experience and one they’d rather forget!

Over the years there has been much debate as to the most effective style of leadership, from autocratic to democratic, from functional leadership to transformational leadership. And there is a good argument to say that all the styles are needed depending on the situation we find ourselves. Well, the situation we find ourselves in is a rapidly changing world, and what is needed is to learn, respond and adapt to ensure success in all aspects of our business.
When we explore safety culture, we recognise that it does not exist in isolation to the organisational culture, and even the best policies, management systems and procedures will fail if we do not have an organisational culture that is open and fair, where learning is expected, trust is high, and fear is low.
