Demo Software Installation

Restaurant Manager is software that requires installation on a computer hardware drive. Installation of Restaurant Manager can be done from a disc or be downloaded from the ASI website. Full software installation or demo installation is done from the same application. The main difference between the two is, the demo program is intended more for dealer demonstrations and training purposes. Sales, employee records, and customer information is based on a demo date. The demo program does not require a security key. The demo software can be setup in a networked environment.
