Technology & Hardware
Leveraging Technology
Dinerware runs on the .NET frame work, and is designed from the ground up on SQL. None of the other
big names in the industry can make this claim. Most POS system designs are based upon outdated
technology, which makes them prone to crashes and data loss when a restaurant becomes busy.
Dinerware’s sophisticated n-tier design and SQL database makes it more reliable than legacy POS
systems, which means less costly downtime for restaurants.
For large operations, the powerful Microsoft® SQL Server 2000® data platform, combined with
sophisticated n-tier architecture and widely available web technologies such as the .NET platform, mean
that custom enterprise data management solutions can be implemented rapidly. Dinerware can fit flexibly
into the data architecture of any organization. The same software that reliably runs the smallest tavern has
also been implemented as an ASP solution, with the server running at a site physically separate from the
food service business across a VPN network.
Dinerware represents a new way of thinking about restaurant technology.
What is the .NET Framework?
The Microsoft .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running Web Services and
applications. The product from Microsoft called, Windows CE .NET is only the name of this product. It is
not running on the .NET framework! CE .NET is designed to run on hardware that doesn’t support much
memory.

- Designed for SQL Server. Unlike our competitors, Dinerware was designed to run with Microsoft
SQL Server. For the customer, this results in unparalleled reliability, performance, and live access
to valuable data using off-the-shelf software tools such as Microsoft Excel. - Windows 2000 / XP, from the ground up. Dinerware was designed to run only on the most modern
operating systems from Microsoft. No legacy technology, no hassles. - A modern n-tier design. Dinerware follows state-of-the-art design principles, lately promoted by
Microsoft in its “.NET” initiatives. Our n-tier architecture delivers an extraordinarily robust system
which effectively capitalizes upon today’s powerful hardware platforms. - A Native TCP/IP Network Application. Dinerware utilizes the same modern networking protocols as
the World Wide Web, in a proprietary infrastructure designed for performance. The result: a high
performance solution that is extremely easy to configure on modern “plug-n-play” networks.
Dinerware scales gracefully from single machines to high performance WANs employing VPN
technology. - An Open Data Platform. Dinerware makes your valuable data seamlessly accessible to off-the-
shelf tools. With our competitors, those wanting to implement enterprise reporting and data
management have to wait until tools are delivered by the software vendor, and pay the price for a
“one size fits all” solution.

Benefits
- Dinerware is poised for the future as independent restaurants want access to data. Now
unprecedented technology is available for the first time to the restaurant industry. Information is at
the customer’s finger tips. - Faster and more stable than any other platform. All open systems on the market today will
eventually need to be recoded from scratch to run on the .Net framework. This is where Microsoft’s
technology is migrating. - NET offers fast time to market --so it's easy for developers from a variety of backgrounds to build
and deploy rapidly. It also offers efficient and faster integration of 3rd party products and plug-ins.
So a reseller who designs a customized module/plug in can attach it to Dinerware and resell it to
other customers, or Dinerware partners. Dinerware is ready for Web services—connectivity with
greater reliability. - The .NET-based solution planned with Dinerware for web services provides an infrastructure that
will allow us to greatly change the way we help customers target (market) and communicate with
guests. Obtaining detailed and timely information on guest behavior will give Dinerware powerful
feedback and information to end users.
Design Differences
The Dinerware Way
- Dinerware employs fault-tolerant SQL database technology to nearly eliminate database failures.
- Modern “n-tier” architecture sends XML messages over native TCP (similar to the way common
web applications work) to further enhance system reliability. - Full integration of the management functions into the Workstation software provides a single, easy-
to-use interface for all users, available at all terminals all the time. - For systems up to 3 terminals, the dedicated server can be eliminated.
- Regular service requirements are reduced.
The Dinosaur Way...
- “Redundant” systems mitigate poor database reliability by copying the data to each terminal.
- “Redundant operation” features make regular system failures less disastrous, and allow service
calls to be postponed until normal business hours. A service contract is a critical part of this design.
