Overview
Choosing the right operating system is crucial to dependable and trouble free operation. DineAmix products use Unix as their foundation of choice. Unix has been developed for over 40 years by companies such as AT&T, IBM,  Hewllet Packard, Sun Micro Systems, and many others. 

Systems can be configured for single station operation or multi-station operation. As many as 32 stations can be connected to a single PC. Peripherals such as receipt printers, preparation printers and display poles can be added as they are needed. 

Network technologies allow stations to connect to the Server without the need of Hard Disk drives and other components that ware and reduce the systems dependability. These virtual PCs have no moving parts. They have small foot prints and, as intelligent devices, they are capable of recovering from network errors and power failures. 

DineAmix writes and maintains all software modules in house which allows us to respond to customer requests and provides the type of quality control that is very important for running  a business such as a restaurant that operates seven days a week. The benefits of by-passing operating system problems that are introduced with Windows platforms are evident from our client feedback. 

In addition to providing software packages, DineAmix has the in-house resources to assemble and install a custom designed system of your choice. These turnkey solutions will be shipped to your location within two weeks from the time your order is placed. A minimum amount of technical expertise is required to install these systems. 

In short, DineAmix run faster and more reliably than conventional PC software products. It's to your advantage to choose DineAmix as your software or turnkey system provider.


DineAmix - Restaurant Touch Dining
DineAmix provides a comprehensive suite of software applications for the restaurant enterprise. You may choose any one of the following modules or combine them to form a custom order entry system for your restaurant. 
  • Fine Dine Table Service - On site dining.
  • Take Out - Walk in or call in off site dining.
  • Delivery - Call in delivery orders.
  • Fast Cash Counter Service - Quick order for on or off site dining.
Once you have chosen the desired touch screen order entry system, you are ready to customize the way each module functions. A custom setup program allows the restaurateur to modify the following software modules: 
  • Menu used with each module or station
  • System timing & security options
  • Working & printing languages
  • Table management
  • Display options
  • Payment options
  • Tip management
  • Receipt printing options
  • Preparation printing options
  • Auto report printing options
  • Specialty printer usage
To further modify the operations of the software modules, you may change employee permission levels which automatically alters the module operations on a server by
server basis. These options deal primarily with security questions. You may deny or allow access to over 30 security options including report access, price changes, etc.

Key Features

Tables: A system wide limit of 1000 tables are provided for any one company. There are no limits to the number of companies in use.  Each server can access up to 72 tables at a time. A table may be identified by numbers or by characters. Special names may be used to describe tables on a temporary basis such as customer names. Tables may also be grouped into sections and sections may be described by a sections setup. When sections are used, only those tables that were pre-defined by you are accessible. 

Guests: Each order can accommodate 20 guests at a time. A guest number can be changed to a five character name. Guests may be billed all at once showing guest sub-totals or billed individually from the same order. Also, guests may  be transferred to other tables or other servers. 

Patrons: Special patrons may be associated with an order. An infinite number of patrons may be created. Patrons are described by their name and address. You have the option of applying discount rates to them.

Orders: There is no limit to the number of open or closed orders processed in a day. Orders may be moved individually from one server to another or all at once. Orders may be updated by selecting them from the touch screen pick list or retrieved using the order number. 

Menu: You may create up to 99 menus per company. Each menu may be used for different software modules. Menus may also be assigned to a specific work station as is common at a bar location. Menus consist of menu headings and menu items. There are four  pages of menu items per level and you may define up to four levels of menu items. This approach allows the server to access an item out of over 84 million menu items in no more than four touches.  Menus may display 24 items per page at four pages per level, or 68 items per page at two pages per level. 

Menu Items: Menu items can be individually modified for tax rates, pricing, printing location, etc. Items can be grouped into 99 categories for consolidated reporting purposes. Items may also be turned on and off on any given day during any time period.  Menu items are displayed on the Information Pad area of the touch screen after being selected. Items may be immediately  increased or decreased in quantity. The price of an item may be changed and items may be  copied or moved to another guest or split between guests. Each item may carry up to 224 modifiers. Modifiers may alter item pricing or force quantities to be selected. 

Time Keeping: Each server's time is kept from the point of signing in to the system to the point of signing out of the system. A server may have up to three shifts during a working day. The working time of servers is recorded on a time card and their tips and wage are reported. 

Employees: There are no limits to the number of employees per company. Employees are defined using address and payroll data. Additional security options are available that limit the number of activities an employee can perform. 

Payments: Up to 99 payments may be defined. Payments include cash type, checks, on account, void, any number of credit cards, coupons, and discount transactions. All payments feature currency exchange.

Central Delivery System
The DineAmix Central Delivery System provides a central dispatch module that communicates with several remote store locations to prepare and deliver your orders. All of the features that are available in the DineAmix Touch Dining modules are available in the DineAmix Central Delivery module. 

You may connect up to 32 touch screen order entry stations to your head office dispatch location or more with upgraded hardware. Each station can access order status information. Your customers will always know the status of their order. A central monitor is always running to monitor the status of all communication lines and the status of data transfer to ensure that you will always be made aware of any system or phone line failures. DineAmix communicates through conventional dial up phone lines which eliminates the need for costly dedicated lines. 

Each store location can be set up as a fully equipped DineAmix dine system or set up as a simple remote server used only to print orders for the purpose of allowing the store to send a report on the status of orders to the head office. There is no limit to the number of stores that can be connected to the head office system. Integral data checks ensure the reliability of information being passed between the head office and remote locations. 

DineAmix Central Delivery software provides a convenient central number for your customers to dial while dispatching orders to the nearest preparation site to ensure speedy delivery. 

Contact DineAmix to request more information about this software product. As with all DineAmix products, you may purchase the software alone or choose to have a complete turnkey system installed at you site.
