Top Rated Maitre'D Alternatives

I like the flexibility in service options, granularity of pricing and discount capabilities, delivery capabilities, integrated gift cards and reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like to see bulk editing capabilities. Mechanisms to change or set prices or printers across a large portion of items in a streamlined manner. Bulk changes are tedious. I'd also like to assign printers on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it was easy to learn and use, which makes training easier. But I think there is room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A vrai dire pour en avoir fait plusieurs maitre d est le meilleur Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to set up. Employees can use it easily. I can access loads of information with their reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is hard to find the right report. There a lot of options for each report which can time some time to find the sale info I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maitre'd is great for running multiple sites or locations due to the broadcast functionality and ability to setup a central server. The simplicity of the user interface keeps training simple and allows us to push guests through line and orders to the kitchen quickly. The API also allows us to push other information through to the printers, not just orders being processed by the registers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest issue with Maitre'd for us is that it relies on an old model of operation and does not support cloud servers. By having to install a localized server in each location, it not only adds to our install expenses, but it creates an additional point of failure. Also, it does not allow for us to use global accounts so we find ourselves creating new usernames and passwords at every single one of our sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features such as splitting and labelling a bill are very useful. Though this is possible in Maitre'D it is not easy or intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When a bill is split, if one party member wishes to pay you must open their portion of the bill, NOT the table with all bills. If you add payment from the table you cannot leave the bill until payments have been added to all bills on the table. This is awful. Every new server makes this mistake, it takes a long time to sort out, usually with a manager and holds up other servers needing to use the POS system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to add IP printers to the network on Maitre'd to avoid using serial printers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All functionality, specifically running workstation data after making a specific change in the system and having to refresh all of the registers in order for changes to take effect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It had a very simple layout and I also enjoyed its number tracking features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked the amount of steps it would take to get to certain manager functions. Time is crucial in the restaurant industry so I would have liked to get to these features in the quickest possible fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of use for admin role as well as all user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
back end use (i.e. office use), only can be controlled in our office not out on restaurant floor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reports are great. Labor reports, discount summary reports, sales reports, items reports. Pretty much any report you can think of, you got it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
* Setting up new buttons and transferring them to screens is not easy.
* Any modifications to buttons are difficult to program and then not user friendly
* Once a check is closed, payment is lost if needed to be re-opened
* Impossible to retrieve payment information from office
* Cannot delete buttons or employees without affecting reports
* If one terminal is down and must be fixed from the office, difficult to assess and fix the problem
* Cannot run partial payment and leave check open
* Tickets printed in the kitchen with modifications are often difficult to understand and difficult to differentiate between orders on the same ticket Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You could adjust tips after a card had been swiped. Very convenient!! I've worked with other programs that don't allow that and it's this huge ordeal to get fixed for a simple error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can't think of anything... It's been a while since I've used it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
