Restaurant owners and managers: Please accept our invitation for you to join our seminar on January 22 (1/22) at 11:00 AM. Come and learn about online ordering systems and the importance of having a functional online presence. By functional online presence I mean to have a website that does some of the work for you, whether it be taking reservations or taking orders. And it gets even better - COME FIND OUT WHAT I MEAN!!

Every month, the Sacramento Area Quality Association (SAQA) covers a variety of topics from certifications to resumes. Next month we will share the intimate details of Made to Order Software’s cross platform application development toolkit. Our toolkit promotes quality code for mono or cross platform software. Features such as pre compiled code for MS Windows, Mac OS/X, and GNU/Linux, thread safety, transparent access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, and more!

Well, It certainly seems that Dell and HP are defining the trend of the future by offering their computers with Linux pre-installed. For software developers to catch up to this trend, .NET and other mono-platform development tools will not cut it! Retooling of code is inevitable so when you are faced with this crossroads do not spend the time and money on a band aid.

Restaurant Owners: You want to shorten your lines or your tables full? Get setup with online ordering - but be careful in your selection. Doing a Google search for “online ordering” will return a number of options: Take out technologies, MealClick, Patron Path, Order Talk, Onosys, eHungry, MealAgent - go ahead and check out their demos. You will see what is out there:  Systems designed by web designers without a grasp for quality functionality. Or they will charge you for custom development that is outside of your budget.
