In AMG, the restaurant uses the point-of-sale systems (POS) for management reporting and operational activities. However the point-of-sales system used also for check-in and checkout of the guests.

Ghani, believes that with their new computer system they could do more in the area of hotel operation as well as operations in the restaurant. 

He knows that, the operations of the hotel should focus more than the checking in and out of guest and more over the restaurant's operation should also simply not focus on just taking the orders from guest and sending back to the kitchen and print the bill. They were all thinking of intelligent information systems that could help them in making effective decisions in the business.
