• How the Three Goals of this Project were met.
• Goal 1 Researched other POS software through
  Dons website, many other hospitality sites and
  www.yahoo.com
• Goal 2 I find a POS system that definitely had
  multi-language capabilities. Although the
  Restaurant Manager System claims to have that
  interface ability.
• Goal 3 I saw how the system was put into actual
  use on a busy Friday night at The Cheesecake
  Factory in Old Town Pasadena
