A Native American Indian tribe, the Sycuan defines its identity as an independent, sovereign nation. It has a democratically elected government. The Sycuan people abide by tribal laws as well as state and federal laws. The Sycuan also diversify as a business enterprise to ensure growth. “To date, the Sycuan Casino has been our most noteworthy economic success,” Tucker allows.
Barbarin explains, “The department processes uniforms for more than 1,600 people. That includes everyone from food servers to table games dealers. Soon, we will handle the uniforms for the back of the house teams such as, chefs, cooks, and others. And we do that with 1 supervisor and 3 wardrobe attendants. We use technology, not manual labor, to manage our operation. This saves money for our company.” Sycuan’s productive staff processes thousands of items in minutes with no data entry InvoTech’s GIMS™ uniform tracking system uses ultra-high frequency readers to scan and record information from RFID tags sewn into the new uniforms by our supplier,” says Barbarin. “The technology enables our wardrobe team to scan hundreds of uniform items at one time without hand sorting. We do not even enter data into a computer. A light flashes to confirm the uniforms were processed into the GIMS system. The savings in time and lost items goes directly to the property’s bottom line.” About Sycuan Casino Sycuan Casino, open 24 hours every day of the year with 2000 slot machines, 43 gaming tables, poker, bingo, live shows and multiple dining options, is operated by The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.
