Our Freeware has become a bigger demand than we ever dreamed. Some weeks see in excess of 10000 downloads. We have offered to change things to better fit your specific needs but due to the sheer volume of downloads and little custom jobs we do to these files it has become a cost in labor for our coders. We wish to continue offering these files as we know there are hundreds of business owners out there who tell us they are running their entire business with the tools we offer. To continue providing these files and to help offset the cost we will try a freeware community fee. One time fee with unlimited downloads and unlimited access. To sweeten the deal we are moving our Policy Manual and our restaurant startup package to our "Freeware Community" page. Once you have made your payment you will rec. a password and have instant access. This is an attempt to continue offering this service without effecting our main product sales.
