Will Jiffy improve the earnings of my café?
The earnings of your café may improve as a result of the following:
- Because Jiffy provides controlled access to ticket generation, activation and printing, only authorised personnel can perform these operations including the management of customer accounts. All activities are logged so you can tell exactly who did what, and when. It will help improve accountability and thus, influence your returns positively.
- Revenues from printing services will soar while wastage will be completely eliminated or, at best, reduced to the bare minimum.
- With customer loyalty enabled, patronage will increase, as people will always want to use your café.
- Customers with accounts will often pay for services up-front; thereby, improving cash flow for your business.
What do I need to run Jiffy?
Jiffy is a client/server based system and so is made up of two components – the Jiffy Application Server and the Jiffy Client.
The Jiffy Application Server is written in the Java programming language and thus has the potential for running on most operating systems – Microsoft Windows, Linux and other flavours of Unix including Apple’s Mac OS. While, the Jiffy Client runs on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.
The following are hardware and software requirements for Jiffy:
- Jiffy Application Server
Windows 2000 Professional or Server with (Service Pack 4), Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
128MB (or more) RAM.
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 5.0 (JRE 5.0) or higher which, you can download free of charge from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html.
Jiffy will not run on previous versions of the JRE. (Note: you do not require the Java Development Kit, the JRE is sufficient.)
- Jiffy Client
Windows 2000, XP
64MB (or more) RAM
Do I need additional software, e.g. a Web Server for web access or database in order to use Jiffy?
No. The Jiffy Application Server comes with its own Web Server and database engine so you do not need any of these installed separately. However, for web access you will need a modern browser e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x and Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox 1.x, Netscape Navigator 7.x. Additionally, you would need to install the free Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 and above) plug-in for your browser of choice.
Note: Jiffy uses Acrobat Reader to display generated tickets.
Why do I need web-based access to my café and is it secure?
You will need web-based access if you truly want to be in control of your business and wish to have first-hand information anywhere, anytime; instead of having to rely on hand-written reports handed over or e-mailed to you by your employees.
In addition, if you are the owner or administrator of two or more cafés, then having web-based access will be invaluable at times when you can not be present physically at any of your locations for direct, on-site management.
Finally, access to your site is secure, as employees and other personnel would have to provide a user name and password in order to gain access to the administrative panels of the Jiffy Web Console.
