“Looking for a restaurant consultant to coach, advise, or guide on strategy? Here’s how to find the right one for your business.”
Blue Orbit is at the top of the heap!
Below is a link to an article we appear in from Toast, the leading restaurant and hospitality point-of-sale system developers. The article’s full title is “How to Find the Best Restaurant Consultant: Top 25 Restaurant Consultants” by Tessa Zuluaga. All images and copy are their property, and we have their approval to re-post and link this article on our site. We objectively recommend their system because it is a best-in-class system…not because they offer us kickbacks for doing so. Blue Orbit consistently declines all requests by third-party vendors to promote or resell their products in exchange for compensation of any kind. If we recommend a product, it is because we genuinely believe in it.
What’s so great about Toast?
First of all, you should request a demo. In the meantime, we like Toast because:
- Their interface is very user-friendly and easy to program.
- It is subscription-based which saves on equipment.
- Software updates occur automatically – nothing to download or update.
- It seamlessly integrates with other best-in-class apps like 7 Shifts, QuickBooks, and MarginEdge
- They are perpetually evolving to corral the myriad support apps, including costing, reservation, and time and attendance software, into their own ecosystem.
- Customer service is responsive.
- They integrate their kiosk and handheld technology to keep servers focused on service and avoiding wasting steps to and from a shared monitor.
- Toast interfaces with the most popular food delivery platforms, eliminating the need for separate hardware.
- Compared to other cloud systems, Toast is the most versatile, robust, and bug-free.
- Reports are easy to read and highly relevant.
Cloud-based POS systems have caught the big players (like Micros, Aloha, PosiTough, etc.) off guard, much like Netflix caught Blockbuster off guard. The original business structure of those companies involved selling pre-loaded hardware requiring costly hardware upgrades as technology evolved. As the leader in cloud-based POS technology, Toast stands out as the obvious choice for startups or those looking to upgrade.
