Most of the software I have seen, for the professional, is pretty expensive (around $400-800). These are usually full packages including inventory tracking, food costing, labor costing, etc. Don't remember the names of them (once I saw the price I said forget it). The good side to it is that Excel is pretty easy to set up to create schedules, track labor, etc. It is usually what I use for these things. With a little Excel knowledge you can create most anything you need for a small restaurant, and save yourself a bundle in the process. Best of luck.

Mike, I looked over your website and you have a good introduction, but you really need to double check your spelling. There are a lot of spelling mistakes, and that could be a detriment to trying to attract potential customers. Just an observation.

All the words are spelled correctly, but it is the wrong word. You have "to" for "too". "There" for "their". "Win" for "when". I also saw "witch" for "which" and a number of other words like that. There are also a number of grammatical errors and poor sentence structure in many areas. If your spelling sucks, then I would strongly suggest having someone proofread it for you. People will be very leary about purchasing something from someone that has a site full of simple grammatical and spelling errors. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to help you out.
