However, the advantages are substantial. You don't need tech support at every location. You can update pricing immediately, everywhere, all at once. It seems people have recognized the benefits of cloud-based systems. All these legacy providers now claim to offer cloud-based systems. I am trying to understand when a company issues an RFP, especially for a chain of a thousand restaurants, not Toast's typical one-off client or five coffee shop chain, and they might be a legacy Aloha user, and they come to us saying they want a new system. PAR comes in and demos their system, which is a modern, modular, cloud-based system. Aloha might say, "Well, we can offer you a cloud-based system as well." Are those systems really comparable or does PAR still have an advantage in the sense that their software is natively built for this? I am not sure whether Aloha, Oracle, or NCR Voyix have really created a native system or if they are just pasting over.
They are pasting over. They are building a bridge, something that mimics being truly cloud-based. But at the end of the day, all of their infrastructure, their foundation, is still built on non-cloud architecture. For them to revamp or rebuild something, they are either purchasing it or starting from scratch, which I don't see any of them having done. There is not enough news to suggest they have reimagined themselves. All they are doing is releasing a new version of their solution that they are now calling cloud-based. What concerns me is it is not truly native cloud-driven like what Qu has done.
