    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.

    Sling offers enough customization I can see it working in most any scheduling scenarios. The ability to build job types into each employee gives you the control to match employee skills with the need for any particular position. Time of day templates makes it easy to select various shift times.

    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.

    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    Beyond (formerly Peachworks)
    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.
