Welcome to Cheftalk.
Here are some solutions you may want to check out (the last two may not be applicable in your case):
CostGuard¨ Caterworks ExecuChef Software ProBe Software, Inc. Sixth Sense.
If I were you, I would look into a database program. I highly recommend
FileMaker Pro.
It is so versatile, you'll barely tap into it's capabilities. It can be customized to do anything you're needing, as with any software there would be a learning curve unless you hire an outside source to create something specifically for your needs or another option is that any companies create customized business applications specifically for use by Filemaker Pro. For an accounting program, check out
Quicken.
Depending on the OS you are running, if you're interested in Virtual PC, you'll need Virtual PC 4.0 for OS 9.2.2 or lower, Virtual PC 5.0 if higher. If there's something for the PC you're definitely wanting to use, you can always try it. Common sense will tell you running one interface within another will have it's ups and downs but it's better than nothing and if it's functional and suits your needs, it cant hurt to try.

Look into these and you may get a better feel for which direction you want to go.
