With the past few years being marked by a tough economy and modest sales growth, businesses face an economic recession and increasing food prices. These complex market conditions mean restaurant owners and operators must look inward to eliminate excess spending, minimize waste and streamline operations to help build a stronger bottom line.

The latest version of the Maitre’D restaurant POS Software by Posera is designed to help restaurants achieve these goals. The new release has been available since December 2011, and the official product launch is scheduled through a series of events and trade shows this spring.

The release has several new features, including the ability to take orders on a mobile device or Android tablet, key performance indicators, forecasting tools, alerts, dashboards and business intelligence reporting. When combined with the software's perpetual real-time inventory management capabilities and intelligent reporting services, restaurants gain greater financial control and the accountability they need to make their mark in the restaurant space this year.

Other enhancements include a newly designed interface with improved navigation and shortcuts, as well as several new restaurant pos software capabilities and back-office support functions.

“For restaurants to weather the coming year, it’s imperative they increase efficiencies, manage expenses intelligently and tighten controls,” says Michel Cote, President at Posera. “From back-office operations to front of the house service, Maitre’D offers restaurant owners and operators tools to increase top line revenues as well as controls they need to remain competitive and increase profitability.”
