Store Services and Endorsed Programs          
The Power of Membership

Every now and then, it is helpful to remind ourselves of the programs and services available to GACS members and their employees.  With group buying power, these are the third pillar of GACS membership. Each program has been reviewed by a group of industry peers to insure it is of the highest quality.

ServSafe Classes
In Georgia, food safety certification is not only important, it is required by law.  By certifying as a Food Protection Manager, retailers are not only staying in compliance with the law; education and certification provide store staff, managers and owners with the knowledge to keep food and beverages safe for consumption, and give customers a higher level of confidence.
 
GACS has partnered with TSC Associates, LLC, to provide the ServSafe certification program to its members at a discount.  Instructors are located throughout the area, giving the company the flexibility to organize private classes as well as regularly scheduled classes in eleven states. The program offers a one-day format class, which includes the proctored examination and printed certificate upon passing.  A list of classes available for this quarter is included in the pages of this issue.  Visit www.gacs.com/memberservices for a link to register for classes.
Healthiest You Telehealth  Insurance Program
A high-quality, virtual care solution designed to serve the unique needs of small businesses and their employees, by connecting individuals to physicians and providers for a wide range of daily and chronic needs. 

At its core, HealthiestYou provides unlimited access to general medical physicians to address common conditions such as colds, flu, sinus infections, and so forth, at a $0 visit fee. HealthiestYou can be a virtual front door to address any medical uncertainty that arises, to ensure you are receiving quality clinical care in an efficient, convenient, and cost-effective way.

The program is a perfect addition to offer in conjunction with traditional health insurance for full-time and part-time associates; or it can be offered as a single benefit to employees based on their individual health care needs.  To learn more go to www.teladochealth.com or contact [email protected].
PIX Card Processing
PIX is a card processing network for busy C-Stores and fuel marketers, and recently partnered with GACS to provide its services to members with discounted pricing.

PIX offers discounted pass-through pricing, simplified daily and monthly statements, EBT and fleet card support, no contracts or annual fees, no PCI compliance fees, and more. For multi-site operators, PIX also offers back office data sync with discounted pricing, consolidated settlement for all stores and all card types, and discounted pass through pricing for online payments and support for auxiliary services.

PIX built its software to bridge the gap between what other card networks offer and what retailers and wholesalers want.  PIX runs lean and keeps prices low, so that all customers have the best pricing paired with hands on customer service.  For more information visit www.pixcardproceessing.com/gacs.
Points to Partners Loyalty Program
Electronic Loyalty Programs are used by retailers of all kinds; once thought of as a high-end add-on that only select companies could afford to offer, they have become a cost-effective standard marketing practice.

Points to Partners offers special pricing for GACS members. The company was founded with the goal of offering low-barrier, success-driven loyalty programs to any sized company. And they couldn’t be easier to implement: the loyalty programs seamlessly integrate with all major Point of Sale systems. Contact [email protected] for more information.
