Restaurant Manager vs. Alternatives in 2023

The key competitors for Restaurant Manager are MaitreD and POSIst.

MaitreD is a point of sale system for restaurants which can be customized to meet process & branding requirements. Its options include floor management, sales & payments, marketing & promotions as well as loyalty programs. The product can also handle online ordering & deliveries with dispatch and route management, while restaurant dining can be managed with mobile POS devices that integrate with kitchen display units for food preparation.

Restaurant Manager on the other hand is offered in the cloud and as an on premise solution. While it can handle table service & food delivery, it also supports customer management, employee payroll, as well as self service kiosks for order placement. Additionally the product provides customer loyalty programs, inventory management, resource scheduling and online reservations as well.

Then there is POSIst which is offered only as a cloud solution but is mobile device ready like Restaurant Manager. It offers some additional features such as recipe management which matches menu items & ingredients for more accurate purchasing & sourcing options. Additionally it has an integrated accounting system and also connects with mobile SMS platforms for customer marketing requirements. There are also reporting tools to monitor financial & operational performance with customer smart cards to manage loyalty rewards.

Restaurant Manager does not address all of these features, but does provide its own reporting solution. However it also supports integration to third party applications such as accounting, ERP and others, as well can handle multi-store operations with a Central Manager module to manage the chain head quarters.
