Local restaurant uses Vancouver's Squirrel Systems technology to convert iPads into sale terminals

Vancouver-based Squirrel Systems, a pioneering point of sale technology provider to the hospitality industry, has announced that local Miku Restaurant recently implemented the Squirrel Professional POS system on the Apple iPad.

"There are many POS systems out there, but the system we are looking to create is Miku-specific," said George Katagai, CEO and President of Miku Restaurant. "We selected Squirrel for its efficient, customizable POS system that streamlines service and assists Miku Restaurant in developing a true guest-driven environment. We will be using the Squirrel POS software and Apple hardware in all of our establishments around North America."

"From the management team especially, the extremely intuitive manner in which the system can be customized and updated is a welcome relief from our previous system," said Gary Hutton, Manager of Miku Restaurant. "The iPads work very well as standalone units, and are of course much sleeker and more compact than our previous POS terminals."

"With their Aburi flame-seared sushi, Miku is certainly familiar with creating an innovative taste experience for their customers," said Bob Mackett, President of Squirrel Systems. "By implementing Squirrel Professional on the Apple iPad, Miku takes the innovation further with a technology solution that enhances the guest experience even more."

Miku started in 2008 in downtown Vancouver thanks to chef Seigo Nakamura, who came from a historied family business in southern Japan. The restaurant is famous for its flame-seared sushi.

Squirrel Systems began in 1984 with the first touchscreen restaurant POS system. Squirrel has since continued to deliver new products to the market, its most recent being this transformation of iPads into point of sale terminal units.
