Teddy's Bigger Burgers: Bigger and Better Reasons for the Gatecrasher?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Let's do the "shaka" and greet everyone "Aloha." Hang loose and get ready to grab an order of burger. But I don't mean just any ordinary burger. It has to be a very special burger that even I will do anything just to dine in and have some bun... I mean fun. Or so they think?

Teddy's Bigger Burger must be something to rave about since there has been rampant news of bloggers gatecrashing the media launch of Teddy's Bigger Burgers Philippines strategically located at Greenbelt 3 of Makati city. I don't know if that was true since knobody bothered to find out the real story behind it. They probably couldn't resist the oozing sumptuousness of Teddy's monstrous patties that are a lot bigger but definitely tastier than most "langhap-sarap" of "clowned" burgers out there... and shockingly even bigger than the buns.

Accomplished businessmen and restaurateurs Raymond Magdaluyo, along with Marvin Agustin and Ricky Laudico are the owners of Teddy's Bigger Burgers PH. This will surely be another big hit for the three wise men who are probably overwhelmed already with all the incoming profits they've been getting from their many restaurant chains. Raymond was the only one present among the three partners but the others did appeared during the VIP night last Friday, a day before the grand opening.

Yeah! Filipinos really do love to eat making the restaurant business among the best businesses next to running a school, a religion or a government.

Are you tired of long queues when buying merchandise from retail stores? As a business owner, are you losing customers because of long waiting times, or have lost opportunities to sell because product information is not readily available when customers demand it?

Global research* has shown that 75% of stores are looking to adopt cloud-based Point-Of-Sale (POS) systems in the next 5 years to improve the in-store customer experience and attract more shoppers. These systems help a retail store owner and the staff to have better customer interactions thereby increasing sales possibilities.

By providing information fast with the use of handheld devices and remotely printing receipts, these cloud-based POS systems can go a long way in carrying out transactions. And compared to traditional methods, they cost much less to install and can be upgraded faster.

All these are important factors to help keep ahead of the competition.

For customers, it lessens one of the major nuisances in shopping -- long lines to pay for just a single item.
