Anyone out there actually using the Ready Theatre Systems stuff? Any comments both good and bad. No manufacturer's comments please. Just interested in what the end-users have to say. Steve

We had been using Sensible Cinema since 1998 and really enjoyed it, but we really wanted to integrate concession sales. We tested RTS back in 2000 and really liked it, after upgrading our computer and aquiring touch screen, we fully implemented an RTS system in December of 2001. It is fantastic. A complete solution - box office, concessions, employee scheduling and time clock, film scheduling and a built in loyalty/debit card system.In the past, I have used most systems, and this has to be my favorite so far. It is obvious that it was designed by theatre folk! As for tech support... all I can say is I wonder if Rob & Greg actually sleep!! They are quick, friendly and resolve issues very fast. They have even been known to make changes in the software to meet specific needs (for Canadian tax reporting for example). If you haven't already, try it out. E-mail me if you have any specific questions that I can answer from experience. jknoll@film.ca Jeff Knoll Film.Ca Inc. (Encore Cinemas)

Before you do you'd best check out the new Sensible Cinema Box Office Pro for Windows. It does management, Concession, and box office. The software lists for $599.00, one time charge, no recurring fees, and can be gotten discounted from some dealers and reliably performs the equivelent of other compeditiers bigger mega thousand dollar systems It is also touch screen ready and will interface to many types of printers. Data will also transfer directly to Excell, Word, and other Microsoft based products. We have sold a huge number of the Standard DOS based systems and they have proven totally reliable, not one failure, no bugs, and customers love it. It networks easily and most of the systems we've installed are all networked back to a managers computer. We normally use the Epson thermal printers and Sensible sells paper stock(color coded) that is heaveier and costs less than a half cent per ticket. Not the usual 2 to 3 cents per ticket of the more expensive ticketing systems. This system will be blowing right past everything out there so evaluate other systems VERY carefully before you purchase anything else. Mark @ GTS www.sensiblecinema.com
