Setting up Restaurant Back-Office Solutions

The Design, Build, and Deploy Process

Your Purchase Order solution starts with a base system which includes hundreds of features. The system is installed as-is and filled with data. After the initial install and review stage, we are then in a position to go through a review and change order specification process. At Aestiva, our job is to streamline your processes, not make them more complicated. All solutions are designed to give you just what you want.

Last but not least, Aestiva technology is change-friendly. After any changes we make, your system will maintain its ability to be upgraded and its ability to be extended at any later time.

The Setup Process.
All of Aestiva's industry-specific solutions include a "Design, Build, and Deploy" (DBD) process.

This is how it works. First, before any commitments, Aestiva will schedule a time with an engineer to review your general needs. Aestiva will then issue you a general quotation that includes your requirements plus a good faith "allocation budget for features known and unknown" (which you should not exceed unless you request items out of the original scope and budget). After purchase, Aestiva will install a copy of the system for your review. Adtewr your review we will complete a thorough specification with you, notify you how much of the "allocation budget" is actually needed (we strive to budget more than needed), and with your approval, complete the project on a fixed cost basis. For further questions please schedule a demo.

Post-Deployment Changes To Your Purchase Order Solution

Modifying Your Purchase Order Solution.

Your Aestiva Purchase order System was designed to be changed after deployment. You can request limited changes, add modules, and add new systems.

If applying a change without proper review does not put your system in danger (like adding a custom report, for example), then Aestiva can apply the addition directly to your live solution. For all other changes, Aestiva uses an industry-standard enterprise software change process.

Purchase Order Change Process
A Change is specified.
A Test (Staging) system is created or updated.
The Change is assigned to Aestiva production for completion.
The Change is applied to the Staging system.
The Change is reviewed by the customer.
Upon acceptance and Change is scheduled to be applied.
The Change is applied to the live (Production) system.


Changes are managed by your Aestiva Account Coordinator in conjunction with Aestiva's production team and, when needed, with oversight by Aestiva's engineering and senior staff.
