Author Topic: manager systems? Franklin Armstrong Expert Film Handler Posts: 106 From: Orlando, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-08-2002 12:42 AM                     what system do you have at your theater I have pacer "SLOW" but it works  |  IP: Logged Wes Hughes Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Raleigh, NC, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-08-2002 12:58 AM                     Now: Two theatres PACER. Two theatres fanfold tickets with AUTOMATICKET machines. We had Theatron at one theatre but never took it when we closed it. We closed it in favor of a larger location where we put in an old PACER system that we already had. Been using that since I was a kid, so it is very familiar to me...common problems and all. I would really like a new Sensible system, but i'm perfectly content with the PACER for now....mainly because I want to spend that money on other things  |  IP: Logged Franklin Armstrong Expert Film Handler Posts: 106 From: Orlando, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-10-2002 12:39 AM                     can someone else say what ticketing system they use?  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-10-2002 04:33 AM                        ATS (Automated Theatre System) - a Cinemark custom box office/concession/payroll program  |  IP: Logged Sean M. Grimes Expert Film Handler Posts: 247 From: Lunenburg, MA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-11-2002 03:16 AM                        I don't know if ICON Filmstar is just specific to Hoyts USA theaters - but it was an excelent program to work with.... didn't really ever lock up and the company itself was great to work with. I know that they were working on a windows based version when I left Hoyts, but the ms-dos version was bullet-proof.  |  IP: Logged Richard Miller Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Lafayette, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 10-14-2002 02:12 PM                     We use RDS. I think they are out of Canada. Simple click and drag and you can alter stuff anytime you want with about a 1 minute delay. Sometimes their tech support isn't the greatest though (at least not this week).  |  IP: Logged Lance C. McFetridge Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Penn Yan, New York Registered: Jul 99 posted 10-14-2002 04:44 PM                     Franklin, We use RTS. Find them at www.RTS-Solutions.com they have a demo disk and package that they can send out. Powerful system at an affordable license price per selling station. Great reports, or search these forums for "RTS" There have been a number of posts regarding POS systems. Hope this helps Lance  |  IP: Logged Daniel Boisson Expert Film Handler Posts: 157 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Oct 2001 posted 10-15-2002 03:39 PM                     my old theatre used an old pacer system. ------------------ 3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity.  |  IP: Logged Nathan Guerriero Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 10-19-2002 02:19 AM                     RTS at all but one location, Omniterm at the loner.  |  IP: Logged John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-19-2002 08:21 PM                     We have always used Theatron. I've never had a problem with it, but then again, I'm mostly up in the booth now. Our Managing Director bought it years ago( I believe we were one of the first users here on the east coast) and still swears by it. Tech support is very good.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-21-2002 12:11 PM                        The theatre I am currently at uses PACER/CATS TIMS 2000. It has it's negatives and positives. Right now the power supply in my server just went kaplooey. Oh what fun computers are - when they work - they are great - when they don't - forget it. These are the days I wish for my old automaticket machines back! ------------------ "Running through life at 24 frames per second"  |  IP: Logged Heyward Garner Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Winston-Salem, NC, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 10-28-2002 04:11 AM                     Howabout links to some of these companies? I am interested... Oh yea, we use Carmike's custom IQ2000 system.

Waste of time, try asking for everyones favourite projector. People are very loyal to their ticket software (unless it's a real dog) There is a previous thread that was very good, to the point that I think we will go with RTS based on favourable comments  |  IP: Logged
