    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.

    Vendasta is perfect for solo digital marketing agencies that are looking to scale up their business. I've already recommended them to several other marketers, and they profusely thanked me for doing so! As far as acquiring new customers, we've found Vendasta to be a perfect solution for businesses that do not have their own internal marketing department, typically SBAs that only have a Marketing Director, or even just the business owner who wears too many hats. When we've bumped into larger companies that already have their own marketing suite and software set up, then they're usually less interested in adopting our platform.

    Pros
    PayFacto Payments Inc.
    • 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
    PayFacto Payments Inc.
    • 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.

    • Their team is so large that sometimes I end up communicating with people who have no familiarity with BRN and our clients, so I end up having to repeat a lot of things to make sure we're on the same page.

    The usability continues to improve. Adding a true mobile app for client use would be a great next step.

    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.

    I don't find anything in your listings that I have used. I have run ads myself. I have built websites myself. I have run email campaigns with other autoresponders myself. Vendasta beats all those.

    Return on Investment
    PayFacto Payments Inc.
    • 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.
