Case Studies

Thanks to Suntek Solutions we were able to bridge and continue to use our existing back-office inventory and labor management software as we migrated to Brink point of sale. Their platform & services saved us countless hours and headaches and made the migration a much more manageable process.

Suntek provided us with a dynamic and robust reporting service on-top of Brink point of sale that additionally allowed us to tie into other third-party data sources such as OLO for more detailed transactional information. We also were able to leverage their API sync services to manage accounting, reconciling, and employee management processes more efficiently. Their solutions continue to help us put the needs of our business first and allow us to operate in a much more efficient manner.

We would recommend Suntek Solutions for any company looking to use Brink point of sale or just looking to manage their data and system processes.

Suntek Solutions successfully unblocked a sales opportunity, Yoshinoya America, for the PAR Brink sales team. They are completing integration between Brink Point of Sale and the client's back office solution allowing the client to retain their existing data and reporting platform. Changing back office systems and the training that would accompany that change was not an option for the client at this time. If it weren't for Suntek, the client would likely have stayed on their prior system for a considerable while longer which would have prevented them from taking advantage of Brink capabilities they needed to grow. There is no other company in the Brink ecosystem that would have been able to respond with this quality of solution in so short a time.

Our business relies on adhering to specific tip pooling models at our restaurants. To our unfortunate surprise, we were informed that the software we were relying on to allocate tips was going to be discontinued. The Brink POS software we used at the time was not able to provide the ability to create tip pools and distribute them according to our custom tip model. Going forward, we were looking at the daunting task of having to attempt to replicate our bi-weekly employee tip allocations using spreadsheets and hours of manual labor.

Fortunately, we were referred to Suntek Solutions by a company called Retail Data Systems (RDS). If we had not pointed to Suntek Solutions, we would have been sunk! They worked with us to replicate the tip sharing model we established. Using their Brink api integration software and some additional user interfaces, we were able to create tip pools with allocated percentages and assign configured Brink job titles to each pool. Each day, we could audit credit card tips, as well as input total cash tips earned on a per meal period basis at each of our stores.

Suntek's out-of-the-box payroll export report would summarize the amount of cash and credit card tips alongside employees' regular earnings, making running payroll nearly instant. We only stopped utilizing the tip pooling feature after a company decision was made to move to a different point of sale platform. However, over a year after we had moved off of Brink POS, we needed sales and labor data spanning from a prior two-year period. Suntek was able to reconnect with the api, resync that data, and send us the necessary custom data export. We highly recommend working with them if you have any pain points or time wasted in your business processes. Thank you Suntek Solutions!

I just wanted to send a note to thank Scott for all his hard work in helping us with the holes in the reporting capabilities in Brink. Without his reporting, we honestly could not have moved forward with the transition to Brink. As you know, the "Daily Stats" report I described during the sales process is central to how we do accounting at Café Zupas. Having to make a change would have been near impossible for us at that point. Scott has put in a ton of hours to create a report for us that is identical to what we needed despite the large difference in data structure from our previous platform to Brink. Scott brings a skillset that is deeply needed at Brink and adds capabilities to the portfolio for sales that would otherwise be unavailable. Without the reporting that Scott had provided, we would have had to pull the plug on the Brink transition and find a solution that could produce the reports we needed.

Scott and Suntek are an extreme asset Brink and I believe it would be in your best interest to do everything possible to keep them as a strategic partner. A brief note from Daniel, Director of Finance for Café Zupas. He has had the most direct interaction with Scott: "We couldn't have properly transitioned to Brink without Scott's help. He was able to write an incredibly complex report that combines essentially all of the activities of the company each day into one uploadable report.

This report is essential to our business operations and we couldn't have transitioned to Brink without it. Scott has been great to work with and has a great attitude." Scott, thank you for all you have done for us. You truly are an asset. We would have been dead in the water without you coming to the reporting rescue.
