Author Topic: RTS Users: How many stations do you have? Tim Lockridge Film Handler Posts: 20 From: Indiana, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 12-28-2004 05:03 AM                     I manage a nineteen-plex and we currently use RTS, but have a large number of stations: 8 box-office stations and 16 concession stations. Does anyone have a comparable set-up, and if so, how do you handle station numbers and shift changes?  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 12-30-2004 01:27 PM                     do you mean Radiant Theatre Systems? We used it at the 20 Plex I worked at. Radiant is a pain in the ass if though, as far as shift changes are concerned, we overlapped. Even # registers for the morning, odd for the evening....if we have to use all of them, they were counted as the morning person left and put back out for the night crew.  |  IP: Logged Brandon Willis Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Richmond, VA, USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-30-2004 06:56 PM                     8 Radiant Box office terminals, but only 5 or 6 of them are currently operational. We do not use Radiant concessions.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2004 09:03 PM                     We have RTS at our nine screen. There are two box office terminals, three concession terminals, and one booth monitor.  |  IP: Logged Chase Hanson Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-03-2005 02:29 AM                     10-12 box office terminals, well over twenty Concession terminals. Simplist solution is to assing people to alternating registers. If not, the system is capable of doing multiple shifts at a register, you can close POS shifts and terminals and substations (with the proper user authority) baring that your Tabulation practices are also as flexible.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-03-2005 08:25 AM                        I think some of you are confusing RTS (Ready Theatre Systems) with RTMS (Radiant Theatre Management System)  |  IP: Logged Tim Lockridge Film Handler Posts: 20 From: Indiana, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-04-2005 08:35 PM                     Yes, I meant Ready Theatre Systems, not Radiant. Sorry for the confusion.  |  IP: Logged Kenny Thies Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Effingham, IL, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-04-2005 09:12 PM                     Tim, We use RTS (Ready Theater Systems) for over a year now. We have 7 concession stations and 2 box office stations. We just implimented credit cards around the 1st of November. I'm glad we did, because it really came in handy for gift certificate sales. Are you using gift cards (magnetic swipe) feature in the RTS software? BTW, what parts of Indiana are you in? I go there quite often cause I have family there. Kenny  |  IP: Logged R.

We have three box stations and we use regular cash registers for concessions.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-26-2005 10:47 PM                        The Fargo just converted to touchscreens and RTS this past November. 1 Box, 1 Conc, 1 Saferoom terminal, and a booth monitor.

One box, and two concession. We have a fourth station that we aren't using right now. They're all equipped with touch screens. Wouldn't be without one anymore. We're thinking of adding credit card service soon. I like the idea of magnetic swipe reloadable gift certificates(cards).  |  IP: Logged Tony Mace Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Cut Bank, MT USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 01-30-2005 10:03 PM                     Hello everyone - my 1st post on a topic that I know alot about We are the 3rd theater in our independent chain that has added RTC. We Added the software after our remodel last November/December. We have 1 BoxOffice, 2 Concession & 1 Office/Monitor. Its got its quirks - but love it compared the the cash registers before. I am trying to convince owners to add CC capability and get rid of taking checks (too slow and too many bounce). Tony  |  IP: Logged
