History of Dinerware

Dinerware is based in Seattle, Washington. Established in 2000, the company was founded by Carl
English - a former Microsoft executive and Seattle restaurateur Departing Microsoft, English established
and operated a Seattle wine bar for three years. After discovering that most restaurant POS systems were
based upon obsolescent 1980s computer technology, English saw an opportunity to recreate restaurant
POS with advanced SQL database technology.  He developed Dinerware in response to the need for a
high-quality, easy-to-use POS solution.  

English and his associates believe strongly in leveraging current technology.  They rewrite Dinerware from
the ground up every couple of years in order to use technology to Dinerware’s advantage.  

Dinerware is now being used in over 1,000 separate restaurants, ranging in size from small coffee shops
to corporate entities with up to 28 restaurants.  The list is growing every day.

Also, from a support standpoint we have 400 separate restaurants in the Seattle area, with only 3
technicians, no that's quality!






Dinerware’s Philosophy

How New Technology Benefits Independent Restaurants
By Carl English, President and Founder of Dinerware

Have you thought that a POS system is out of the question for your restaurant? Has the high cost of most
point-of-sale products soured you to the idea of computerizing or changing your existing system?
Unfortunately, a large number of restaurants that need help the most; have not been able to afford it. It is
an accepted fact that POS can tremendously improve your bottom line, and large operators have enjoyed
the benefits for years. Soon, everyone will.

As recently as a few years ago, computers were expensive and fragile. Maintaining computers, networking,
and POS software was an expensive proposition, usually left for restaurants with large budgets.

The good news is that falling hardware prices and easier to use products have brought POS technology
within reach of all restaurants, large and small. A new breed of open, intuitive, easy-to-use software
completes the picture by reducing the cost of installation and maintenance. In the near future, everyone will
be able to realize the tremendous benefits of POS technology – increasing efficiency, customer service,
and watching profits.

The trend in falling prices and modern technology will continue to benefit an increasing number of
restaurants. New technology is released every year that has the potential to revolutionize your business.
Small restaurants will benefit from advanced technology, made affordable. Large operations can finally
take control over technology costs without compromising on capability.

What does this mean to you?  It means that if you have always thought a POS system was out of reach, it
might be time to look again. It is possible today to install a system affordably, by using software that is
reliable by nature and easy to use. If you are a larger operator who has added the expense of managing
your current system to your yearly budget, it might be time to look into newer products. No matter who you
are, it means you can save costs.

How can you find the right system?  Research your options to find a system that offers what you need at a
price that represents real value. Beware the bells and whistles and keep in mind that the most important
“feature” is ease of use. Easy, reliable, low maintenance software coupled with open, inexpensive
hardware is the key to reducing total cost of ownership and increasing efficiency.

Find a good point-of-sale representative who will give you the straight facts and is genuinely interested in
the success of your business. A good dealer will do more than just install and maintain machinery and
software; they can help you maximize the benefits of technology to enhance your bottom line.

Once you have installed your POS system, you will wonder how you ever survived without it.
