The DOD SR1 is the most cost-effective in-room bar control system for hoteliers on the market. The DOD SR1 pays for itself within months through labour savings, reducing pilferage and accurate inventory control.

How it works:

• When a minibar door is opened, an RF transmitter sends a message up to 300 feet away and the LED light shuts off.
• Messages are captured by the receiver attached to the hand-held PC. The hand-held PC: - sorts the information
  - lists the room numbers in order
  - displays the number of times the door was opened
  
• The hotel's bar attendant visits only the rooms where minibar doors have been opened - usually 50% of occupied rooms. Using the menu on the hand-held PC, the bar attendant reports product consumption. The minibars are easily reset with a coded touch key. The touch key illuminates an LED verifying the reset was successful.
• The data can be downloaded directly to a PC using the cradle, or sent to a PC directly via the optional wireless system (DOD SR DW) and PMS interface.
• The data file created (by date) can then be transferred into Excel. The Windows-based system allows various reports such as total of consumption per day, consumption per item, etc.
  

What you get:

Lists rooms and number of times each minibar was opened. Shows immediate, visible evidence with an LED.

Tamper-proof. A 10-digit touch key code resets the minibar.

Simple, Windows-based software, easy to operate.

6-volt power transformer, which powers the system.

Control inventory. Get reports of sales per floor/ per item/per day/per week.

Reduce errors in consumption reporting. No writing or manual entry - entire process is done electronically.

Decrease labor costs, increase productivity. Only one bar attendant is required for up to 300-400 rooms. Rooms with unopened minibars do not have to be entered.

Invisible system. The DOD SR1 will not deter consumption or impulse sales.

  NOTE:
  
• Some types of Hotel construction have been known to cause the signal to degrade.
