This is gonna be my first real business experience with computer work so I need a little help from you guys. One of the people that I've done computer work for had me get in touch with one of their family members that has a tavern that needs a technology update.
I've done quite a few computer jobs for people but aside from where my dad works I haven't really done much in this area. They told me that right now they're using a combination of quicken and excel. They have to put all of their expenses into excel and they're using the very basic features that their version of quicken has.
They were talking to me about having wifi and a laptop with a portable printer that would have better book keeping software on. I'm thinking QuickBooks would be the way to go but I don't have really any experience as far as book keeping goes. I can handle setting up a wireless router and the laptop and securing it all but just need some insight for the software side.
Here's just a few of the things they would like to be able to do:
--End of the day receipts, basically the amount of product they sold (beverages, food, etc...) They've been manually entering this into excel for their record keeping.
--Keep track of vendors (food, beverages, etc...)
--Total expenses for the week, month, year.
--Be able to print checks to pay the vendors.
I'm going to be calling them back on monday to let them know what kind of solution would be best.
Sorry for the long post. Having a business client would really help with college expenses.
