I really regret not having enough duracell procell d batteries when we went to Steak Town, a new restaurant in Tagaytay. I love the vintage photos hanging in the wall featuring the various restaurants built ages ago. And I love their menu the best – for a very reasonable price, you get mouth-watering delicious steak, unlimited salad, dessert, drinks and coffee.

I ordered the tenderloin steak and loved it:

We went to Nuvali last weekend and we ate at a family favorite restaurant, Conti’s. We love the cakes here so it was no surprise we ordered a slice of cake for each one of us – plus some roastbeef for the men too. We were all complete – my extended family and my family – and we talked over cake and coffee and caught up with one another. We gave our opinions on the trailer hitch my brother was planning to buy and got excited by the impending addition to our family – a new baby!

Here’s what we ordered:
Roastbeef:

Mango Bravo:

Mango cream pie/tart:

Moist chocolate cake:

Some of the features that a restaurant pos system may have to help you choose which ones are important for you to have.

A lot of businesses in the hospitality industry make use of a point of sale system to help make their everyday business operations easier, quicker, and more efficient. If you are a business owner and just starting to think of getting a restaurant point of sale system then finding a reliable provider of restaurant pos solutions is not so difficult. What makes the choice a bit more challenging is deciding which provider to get.

Among the considerations you should think about before choosing a restaurant pos system provider are the features and capabilities of their restaurant software. To help you identify which features you should look for, below are some of the features that you may want on your restaurant pos system.

• Interface. The first thing that will be of concern to your employees is how easy it is to use the system. You will want something that is very easy to use and will require little training for your employees to get the hang of it. Choose an interface that has colorful large buttons to minimize errors in inputting orders.  You may also want an interface that is easy to customize so that your employees can arrange it to their convenience.
• Order routing. To maximize the efficiency that your restaurant pos system brings, ensure that it has the capability to route orders to the kitchen. This will eliminate the need for your wait staff to relay the orders to the kitchen and the register.
• Coupon processing. Does your restaurant offer coupons or gift certificates? If yes, then it is a must for your restaurant pos system to have the capability to handle the processing of these special offers.
• Customer database. This is something that not every pos system has but it can increase your business’ personal touch to its customers. Although some customers may find something like this intrusive, a customer database will allow you to provide loyalty and rewards programs if it is something that you want to implement.
• Biometrics. Many restaurant pos system also functions as staff monitoring systems. If you want yours to have this function as well, it will be a good idea to make use of fingerprint technology to help eliminate fraud and theft within your company. Aside from this, it will make it easy to prepare payroll and increase the accuracy of your employee-related reports. You will also find it easier to fix your staff’s schedules especially if they are on a shifting basis.
• Reporting. One of the biggest perks of having a restaurant pos system is the reporting convenience that it provides. Take note of the usual reports that you want and make sure that the restaurant pos system that you will get can provide them for you.

Even if the weather has noticeably gone cooler and we might need north face fleece jackets in the next couple of weeks, it didn’t stop my and my friends from enjoying some cold sweet treats from Cafe Breton.

We usually go to Starbucks for some cake and coffee but the people this time of the year is out of this world crazy (maybe because of the Starbucks planner?) so we decided to go to Cafe Breton instead.

We were not disappointed!

Coffee with whipped cream – oh la la!

French Baker brings back so many nice childhood memories. Whenever there were reasons to celebrate, my parents would take us to French Baker and I’d always have lasagna. I saw the restaurant when I went out by myself a week ago and had to try if they taste the same. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Their lasagna is not that cheesy and yummy as they used to be, or perhaps my memory of their food was just perfect. You can even say I was addicted to it. It’s a good thing that I didn’t need to go to a malibu rehab treatment center!
