Fore! Your Information - Canada - September 2009
CANADIAN "BLACK BOX" 2010 BETA SOFTWARE PROGRAM IN FULL SWING - The first 10 courses in Canada have signed on to the 2010 PCI compliant Beta software program. The software is now in full use with very positive feedback. Fore! Reservations also has a very large install base presently using this new version in the U.S., making it one of the most heavily tested versions in Fore! Reservations' history. As a result, Score Advertising is offering a special discounted price of $1,850 CDN which includes installation and training for the next 10 courses in Canada who come on board. This is expected to be a significant discount from the anticipated $2,250 - $2,500 price after the first 20 courses are installed.
With the looming July 1st, 2010 deadline for merchants to have PCI certified software installed at their locations it will be very important for courses to sign on early in order for Score to meet the demands of the 100 plus customers across Canada. Score is offering this special discount to reward those who take the time to sign on early. Please contact Keith Horner at 204-975-9292 or Sean McNamara at 204-975-9295 if you are interested in learning more.

BEWARE OF NON-SUPPORTED INTEGRATIONS INTO THE FORE! RESERVATIONS SOFTWARE - Recently Fore! Reservations has been made aware of companies writing integrations into the Fore! Reservations software that are unauthorized, illegal, and unsupported. If a salesman tells you they have an interface with Fore! Reservations, please double-check with the Fore! Reservations Support Team (630-789-9784) to make certain this is an authorized interface. Also, any of these non-authorized interfaces will no longer work once you upgrade to the 2010 PCI compliant software.
AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD SWIPING ISSUE RESOLVED - If you're having problems swiping American Express Cards contact the Customer Support Team at 630-789-9784. The new 2009 software fixes this issue, so it is recommended that you upgrade today.
DID YOU KNOW? - Did you know there are two different ways to split transactions in Fore! Reservations? If you are using Mercury to process credit cards, in the payment screen you will see a button that says "Split". From there you can slide multiple credit cards to pay for the transaction. With the "Even Out" button you can easily split a check among multiple credit cards. For F&B facilities, you can hit the "Split" in the Tab Screen Interface and turn one check into many. This is great for the individual who just wants to pay for their portion of the meal while the rest of the group stays. To learn more about this functionality, you can watch a five minute video by clicking here.
