Maître d' for iOS is a free guest management workflow application for restaurants that manages your reservation book, customer database, waiting list, and real-time seating chart - all within one integrated application. Coupled with ChowTime's optional cloud services, Maître d' provides a complete solution that allows you to accept online reservations from your own website and page waiting customers from any iOS device.
Maître d' has been engineered from the ground up as standalone, mission-critical software. This means that Maître d' for iOS does not require an Internet connection to function, unlike the majority of our competitors' thin-client offerings. Trendy, pure-cloud implementations become useless the moment your Internet connection or an offsite server goes down, which can occur at any time - like in the middle of service - when you can least afford it. ChowTime's robust and innovative design utilizes a distributed, enterprise-class architecture to ensure that your data remains accessible at all times, even when the cloud is down.
Maître d' raises the bar even further by taking the guess work out of running the door of your busy restaurant. By employing expert system technology to optimize table utilization, provide accurate wait time estimates, and prevent overbooking, ChowTime has created a system that is powerful enough to avoid simple, yet costly errors by inexperienced or distracted staff members, but flexible enough to allow a seasoned pro to take complete control.
