Waitstaff: The WizButler system has intentionally been set up so that user screens look similar to existing restaurant booking systems to simplify and speed up the training of your staff when you migrate to WizButler from another system. For normal users such as waiters to learn how to navigate and use WizButler, we believe a half-day training session is sufficient. This training can be undertaken through video tutorials or video conferencing or by onsite face-to-face training.
WizButler System Administrator: As the WizButler system is so different to all other existing restaurant booking systems Australia with a completely new framework and infrastructure we recommend that your designated system administrator is given time to get familiar with the WizButler system before taking your WizButler system live and training other team members.
No, you do not need any special equipment to use the WizButler system as it is cloud based and all you need is a browser. We recommend the use of Google’s Chrome Browser. We also recommend the use of a 24-inch touch screen for large busy sit-down restaurants that have a formal host station. However, the system is also mobile friendly and can be just as effectively used on an iPad or tablet by a host who does not want to be limited by a fixed reception station.

Yes, you can transfer all customer data from your current systems to WizButler as long as you have access to that data and that data is not the “ownership” and proprietary information of your current restaurant table booking app supplier. In the event that your historical data is the “ownership” and proprietary information of your current booking system provider then we suggest that you should leave that supplier as a matter of priority otherwise you will always be at their mercy. Of course, as the WizButler system work uses a completely different framework your restaurant will need to be set-up up using the proprietary WizButler customer framework and information such as the table and table combinations lists currently used by your existing restaurant systems will be completely redundant. As such, the restaurant constraints of your restaurant within your current online restaurant booking system
represent useless and unnecessary information.
