How We Began

Pinnacle was founded on January 16th, 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida by Don Potter and Stevan Barber who previously had worked for Siemens-Nixdorf throughout the 80’s in various positions. Their main focus was on providing computer based business solutions to small and medium sized companies. Upon the closure of Nixdorf’s Miami Lakes branch office, Potter and Barber founded Pinnacle Software Inc. The company was established to offer continued support for their Nixdorf customer base. They were looking for new opportunities to expand their business potential so they looked for other business solutions to further their endeavors. Through personal contacts they found out about POSitouch, a restaurant “touch screen” computer based business solution that was being successfully sold and implemented in New England. POSitouch was the right product at the right time for Pinnacle to embrace. Pinnacle secured the exclusive right to represent POSitouch in Florida in September 1989. Pinnacle was the first company to offer an “open” computer based touch screen solution for restaurants and the first company slogan was “we don’t sell cash registers, we replace them”. By 1992, Pinnacle focused all of its resources toward the “hospitality market place and expanded operations to Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, Jacksonville and Pensacola. Further expansion in 2005 saw the opening of the Birmingham, Alabama office. Pinnacle’s success can be attributed to its ability to provide clients with tailored business solutions that help maximize profitability by increasing productivity, controlling expenses and managing loss prevention. Most Pinnacle employees have a hospitality background and understand the demands placed upon their clients and their operations. In addition Pinnacle provides outstanding support on a continuous basis, seven days a week, three hundred sixty five days a year including all major holidays. Customers have access to the help desk at all time via a toll free phone number. Help desk personnel can assist clients remotely through on-line desk top support. Pinnacle also has a full staff of field technicians who are ready to serve clients, on-site with fully stocked service van and on-line diagnostic tools. ...read more

Catering Jacksonville, FL; Catering to the Five Senses

The point of a catering service is pretty simple; provide food. At its most basic level, that’s the task of a caterer. Food, however, is one of those things where simplicity isn’t the most practiced virtue. Being a caterer involves much more than just food. The top-notch catering companies in Jacksonville, FL, such as Corporate Caterers for example, know that their performance hinges on appealing to all five of a person’s senses. Providing excellent catering services is more than just cooking and serving food, it takes high levels of coordination and teamwork for a catered even to go off without a hitch. It’s common to see catering companies going beyond simple food service and taking on event management as a whole. Sight: Sight is arguably our most important sense, so it seems obvious that making food visually appealing should be a top priority. Some catering companies don’t put much emphasis on how their food is presented and that is a big mistake. The arrangement of the fare should be tasteful (no pun intended) and not over-done. You want the food to be visually appealing without looking like you tried really hard to make it so. People are very likely to pick food based on appearance alone so that makes presentation a major area of concern for a caterer. Smell: Much like sight, you experience the smell of food before you taste it. Smell is another powerful sense that can have a strong influence on the choices people make. Let’s use coffee as an example. It has such a unique and pleasant aroma that the smell triggers people to want a cup of coffee. Using the freshest ingredients and proper cooking technique is the best way to ensure that your food smells as good as it looks and tastes. Touch: Touch is an interesting sense because most people associate touching with their hands. Texture is very important when it comes to food. Some people won’t drink soda because they dislike the carbonation. My own sister refuses to eat coconut because she dislikes not the flavor, but the consistency. It’s important for catering companies to ensure their food is texturally appealing. Fruit and vegetables are a good example in this case. Fruits that are not ripe yet will be hard and bitter, like a green banana. Vegetables that are too old can get mushy and bruised. The freshest ingredients are the ones with the best textures. Taste: Obviously this goes without saying, but the food needs to taste good. Companies who specialize in catering in Jacksonville, FL are dedicated to providing meals that look and taste great. A catering company with terrible food isn’t going to last long at all. If you’re looking for a caterer then pick one with years of experience in the industry.  ...read more

Hood cleaning

I have been cleaning Hood for 13 years. I have seen alot of different systems and know what needs to be done. A lot of restaurants are not getting the service that they pay for. Some things to look at are: Is the company you are using certified by IKECA, PWNA, or a national certification program? Do they use a steam cleaner to properly clean the duct, fan, and, the hood to bare metal? How long have they been doing it? If your restaurant burns down from a grease fire are you going to get your money from them? Are they licensed and insured? Don't gamble on inexperence, call a certified hood cleaner near you?......Pressure Klean Inc... ...read more
