As part of Steve’s commitment to the success of Purple P&L, Cimarron has assigned its Restaurant Software Solutions to Purple P&L. These applications consist of three major software solutions:

BackOfficePlus
is the core of the Restaurant Solutions Suite. Cimarron Restaurant Solution’s BackOfficePlus interfaces with most POS register systems, is a full featured back office management tool installed in the restaurant office, and used by the managers to report on and aid in controlling all major areas of food service operations. It transmits accounting data and operations data in the background to StarNet Accounting and StarNet Operations.

Starnet Accounting
receives raw accounting field data from BackOfficePlus and formats that data for direct import into any modern accounting program such as Microsoft’s Great Plains Dynamics. The StarNet Accounting program receives sales information, labor hours and employee information, and accounts payable information on a daily basis.

Starnet Operations
is a management “data warehouse” solution that receives non-accounting BackOfficePlus data to give regional managers information for store-to-store comparison analysis. Sales, inventory, and labor data is transmitted from BackOfficePlus via the internet to Starnet Operations for user definable and customizable management reporting.

Turnkey Accounting Solution
is an integrated accounting solution worked out over the years by Purple P& L and Cimarron Software. It consists of software connecting each restaurant back office to management and to Purple P&L. This complete turnkey accounting solution includes a state of the art Accounting Application with full accounting staff at a central accounting site, a full featured Back Office Application in each unit, the StarNet Regional Operations database in regional management offices, and the Starnet Accounting program at central accounting, all connected and integrated via the internet along with comprehensive installation, support, and training services.
