Registers handle the line; Macs handle everything that happens after the drawer closes: vendor invoices, scheduling, and compliance paperwork.
Word and Excel remain the default for vendor letters and inventory pivots. We keep templates for common NJ tax questions so new hires do not start from blank pages.
Payroll exports land in CSV; Numbers or Excel validates totals before we upload to the provider portal. macOS calendar shares cover shifts across two locations.
Security updates are boring until they are not. We maintain a spreadsheet of which Mac runs which OS version and schedule upgrades between peak seasons.
When owners ask about photo tools for menu boards or social promos, we point them to vetted app pages. MacTorent lists graphics tools with version notes instead of random forum threads.
Off-site backup is non-negotiable: cloud sync for documents plus a weekly bootable clone for the office Mac.
