ChefTec Mobile - PDA can be used with ChefTec, BevTec and CorTec. Each package includes a Palm Handheld computer and ChefTec Mobile modular software. Buy one module or buy them all. The Palm TX and Janam XP 30 handhelds are powerful pocket sized computers.

The handhelds have backlit screens, making it easy to read in dimly lit settings, such as walk-in's. Complete with cables and batteries, the handhelds are simple to install and easy to use.

Pricing depends on which handheld you purchase and how many PDA modules you purchase. The PDA modules are:

1. Physical Inventory Taking (PIT) - Every month it's the same story: end of the month inventory takes up too much of your time. If you are doing inventory the old fashioned way you are spending hours with pencil, paper and calculator, trying to keep on top of your costs.

   If you're already using ChefTec, you're on the right track with the most powerful, easiest to use foodservice software on the market. With ChefTec you're able to organize your inventory in shelf order, making it easy to do the physical counts, and both programs will calculate the value of extensions automatically. But even if you are enjoying the power and convenience of ChefTec, when it comes to taking inventory you want an easier way.

   Do Your Physical Inventory Without Paper and Pencil!

   The Physical Inventory Taking module will give you an easier, faster, and more efficient way to enter physical inventory counts. Rather than having to print out worksheets, write your physical inventory counts, and then manually enter the data into ChefTec, the customized Palm Handheld application lets you take your Palm throughout your operation, entering inventory counts, and then instantly upload the physical counts into ChefTec on the desktop. It's as simple as the click of a button on the included cradle.

   Bar Code Scanning option available (Plus only)

2. Ordering (ORD) - Organize orders on the fly! Enter orders into the Palm Handheld computer, create a master order, regardless of vendor. Then simply upload the information into your desktop ChefTec and assign vendors to specific items. Your orders are ready to go, saving you time in double data entry and avoiding the hassles of running out of critical inventory.
