    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    It is a great system. I love the functionality, the ease of operation, and the custom reports (my favorite part). We can set certain functions for the store levels, and more functions for the corporate level. Inventory controls and costs are almost immediately updated, with very little lag time. It is pricey, and when we signed up it was only done with a once a year payment. Other programs we pay monthly.

    Maitre'D is great in a shop where multiple terminals are needed. Servers and Bartenders can use any terminal they are near (there are some exceptions, but that is up to the location to make terminals tied to people or not).

    On the other hand, a small single terminal shop would be a good fit for Maitre'D, there are much less expensive options for the smaller need.

    • Maitre'd allows us to use their Broadcaster module to push product and pricing updates to all five of our regions, simplifying product rollout and updates.
    • The program is versatile and allows for integration with loyalty and online ordering systems, however that does require some advanced technical knowledge to properly execute.
    • The program is easy to learn from a cashier and management standpoint, new hires can get up to speed quickly which helps minimize required training time and ultimately labor hours.

    Cons
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    • Some custom reports can have errors in our register system is altered (time punch edits).
    • Exports can't be customized by font style or size, and must be done within Excel.
    • Cost. It is a big program, and we have Enterprise, plus six restaurant locations, so we have a lot of info on it.

    • Maitre'D could make better use of pick lists, especially when it comes to the delivery and take-out orders. The interface is out-dated and feels awkward and needlessly cumbersome.
    • When a problem (bug) is discovered, I would like to see better and more rapid response from the company.
    • Major improvements are slow to happen. I am on the same major version as I started with 7 years ago and I believe there are customers still using the prior version. This seems like too long for a company to allow old versions to live and must force them to support too many different variations. This situation has to detract from the company to develop new and better capabilities.
    • Access to raw data is not possible, custom reports are not available. I consider this a major drawback. Entering a lot of new items, or changing a lot of item information is painful. Changes are made item by item, no bulk edits. For example, let's say I want to increase the price of beer by $1 and I have 50 types of beers, I will need to modify 50 individual items, that is easily more than an hour's work.

    We have a support representative, and whenever I've needed help customizing a report, or some numbers aren't coming through correctly, they are only one email away. It's very timely in response. They can view our system from the backside, and have fixed problems for me with integration or just a formula wrong in one of my custom reports.

    PeachWorks is far more comprehensive than TouchBistro. TouchBistro is more focused on allowing customers to take orders tableside. This is an important strategic initiative by many of our franchisee clients but we have found that the software is fairly limited beyond this functionality. TouchBistro does not integrate into the entire restaurant's operations so a restaurant must also purchase and install additional software.

    We have been on various versions of Maitre'd for about ten years now and came from conventional cash registers. Maitre'd obviously added tremendous value in that situation. As far as looking to the future goes, we have compared Maitre'd to various competitors and found our biggest knock on it is they haven't moved to a cloud model yet.

    Return on Investment
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    • On average, PeachWorks reduced food costs by 7% - a huge amount in the thin margin quick service food business
    • On average, PeachWorks reduced instances of under-staffing by 9 hours per week which we estimate is worth approximately $25,000 in additional revenue per year
    • On average, PeachWorks reduced back-office tasks and accounting by 2.2 hours per week which we estimate is worth approximately $14,300 in additional profits per year

    • My shop needs a POS to operate efficiently. We are too large to go manual, there would be way too many mistakes. Maitre'D is a good choice for our need.
    • The Berg liquor pouring control system has a native interface into Maitre'D and our return on investment was 4 or 5 months.
