Forbes Snyder, a leader in POS (pointof- sale) technology in Western Massachusetts for nearly a century, is expanding to Florida with the opening of Forbes Snyder South in Fort Myers, bringing cuttingedge POS solutions to help restaurants thrive in today’s digital world.
Forbes Snyder’s high-performance systems streamline operations, reduce customer wait times and integrate payroll and scheduling, ensuring improved efficiency at every level. The expansion to Southwest Florida was sparked when a POS system crashed at Prime 239 Steakhouse in Cape Coral last fall. Director of operations Travis Prince turned to Forbes Snyder, where owner Paul K. (PK) Backholm and his team quickly installed an easy-to-use system with reliable 24/7 customer service. Prince has since joined Forbes Snyder as regional sales manager to lead the Florida expansion.
Since 1936, Forbes Snyder has been at the forefront of innovation, originally selling business machines and office supplies, developing gradually into supplying electronic cash registers and advanced POS systems to businesses across the country. The demand for automation and data-driven decision-making has fueled rapid growth in the restaurant POS market, with features like remote accessibility, Enterprise software for managing multi-locations, automated updates to minimize downtime and lower upfront costs compared to traditional systems. Self-service kiosks and mobile ordering integrations help restaurants reduce labor costs while improving service speed and accuracy.
To celebrate its Florida expansion, Forbes Snyder South is offering restaurants a free POS software demonstration and waiving upfront programming, installation and on-site training fees. Additionally, Forbes Snyder South management will be on-site when the system goes live to help staff with last-minute menu changes – all at no charge.
In 2017, Forbes Snyder doubled in size, acquiring Advance Business Services and Advanced Retail Solutions extending into Alaska, Kentucky, Florida and Texas. Forbes Snyder South is now open at 3525 Evans Ave., Fort Myers, offering customer support Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Emergency services are available 24 hours.
