What I like about KORONA POS is the fact that we call customer support and we get answered immediately.

— Roger, General Manager, The Cove on Harbor

The CHALLENGE

The Cove was losing time, money, and patience.

“We would lose thousands of dollars just by the system crashing. With KORONA, we call customer support and we get answered immediately.”

— Roger, General Manager, The Cove on Harbor

The Cove on Harbor has been a long-time market in the Disneyland resort area for over 40 years. But longevity doesn’t make operations easier, especially when you’re running a café and a retail market with a POS system that couldn’t keep up.

Roger, the general store manager, who has been with the business for 20 years, remembers a time when staff had to memorize every single product price by hand. The technology improved, but some of the problems didn’t go away.

Customer support wait times ran four to five hours and sometimes couldn’t resolve the issue at all

System crashes caused thousands of dollars in lost revenue during busy periods

Training new employees took almost a full week

Ran the café and market as separate systems meant double the training, double the complexity

No back-end reporting meant management was blind to inventory and sales data

The Solution

KORONA POS connected both sides of the business.

The Cove switched to KORONA POS and set up two terminals: one for the café side and one for the market. And because both run on the same platform, all employees are cross-trained on a single system. When one side of the store gets busy, the staff can move easily to the other register without missing a beat. Training staff used to take a week, but now takes less than a day. And for the first time, management has real reporting to bring to ownership.

Unified Café & Retail POS

Both café and market operations run on the same system, same products, same training

Cross-Terminal Flexibility

Two POS systems that share inventory and transactions, so staff can shift between them instantly

Fast Employee Training

New hires get up to speed in days, not a week, regardless of prior POS experience

Immediate Support

Call the KORONA POS support team, get answered with no hours on hold, no unresolved tickets

Back-End Live Reporting

Sales data, inventory tracking, and live performance reports can be remotely accessed by management

Reliable Uptime

No crashes, no lost revenue, no scrambling during peak business hours

The Results

Less Training.
Better Reporting.
Zero Crashes.

“What used to take me almost a week to train employees now takes days. It’s been very easy and very simple.”

— Roger, General Manager, The Cove on Harbor
