Get Beyond is a back office oriented restaurant management system designed to provide a comprehensive back office administration automation solution. It includes the capabilities of the former 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.
I like it i think it makes the whole buying journey really smooth for the end customers , it’s easy to use for baristas and it’s actually better than most software’s out there.
But the service is not great , for simplest if things they take too much time to rectify , i mean the live line for ordering related issues is good it’s more technical glitches and installation related issues that take more time.
I like the usability, for customers it’s easy to use even for admins it’s easy to extract reports , analyse performance. I didn’t give it 2 points because I think a lot of features can be added and the service can be improved. Also modules like inventory are too complicated for the users to do it themselves the team should take the initiative of getting it setup or have an easier way of getting started on that
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.
It was better priced , had more features and ease to use. It’s suited for all size of business. Especially smaller , all digital businesses. I also evaluated a few other tools and I remember Rista being an easy choice because i wanted the order confirmation and bills to go on WhatsApp and not messages which not a lot of these software’s were offering .
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
So i save cost of one billing resource that’s let’s say 15k per month per outlet where i pay Rista double that amount for a year so my 10month resource cost is saved
Negative impact which i think is very niches people feel hesitant to share their number and i think Rista should add a feature where sharing number isn’t compulsory as not everyone’s comfortable sharing their mobile number
The entire inventory module is too complicated to setup so while i have it for the past 2 years i still haven’t configured it
