  Levy Restaurants

  Jul 2013 - now

  Since coming on at Levy I have had the ability to gain a wealth on knowledge on new systems and tools. Over the last year we switched from Oracle to SAP which interfaces with Everest for our financial statements, budget and Daily Operational Tracking. We also switched our Suites software from Suite Host/Infogenesis to SMS. We currently are upgrading our Everest from Version 7.5 to Version 10.1. Over the last two years we have also upgraded our payroll platform Workforce Management, our sales platforms Micros and Tangent, our group sales platform Reserve and our purchasing and A/P's platform BOSS. My time here has been both challenging and invigorating which makes each new day interesting. Show less
