The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa

After a $36 million renovation, The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa debuts as an elegant, 170-room, Art Deco hotel resting on a tree-lined street in the beautiful Uptown residential district of Dallas. The Stoneleigh's dynamic restoration has maintained the landmark hotel's eccentric, period-style architecture while updating it with luxuriously modern comforts and amenities.

Combining sophisticated elegance with historic glamour, The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa provides a unique mix of art, history, and modern glamour to present a renewed feeling of grandeur to the city of Dallas. New decadent dining options draw guests in with modern Italian cuisine from James Beard, nominee and Iron Chef-challenger, Chef David Bull in Bolla and Bolla Bar.

Travelers will find a quiet retreat at The Spa at The Stoneleigh in the new full-service spa. The Terrace Ballroom, outdoor pool, courtyard, and The Heritage residences will follow in the spring of 2009.

We decided to use Fintech's services based on a recommendation of a neighboring hotel, the Rosewood Crescent Court Hotel. Our Director of Food & Beverage worked there for several years and was very pleased with the services that Fintech offers, including the tracking of beverage purchases and the reporting. When he joined us, he had requested that we use Fintech for all of our beverage purchases; and the rest is history!

Maggie's Neighborhood Bar & Grill

Maggie's is one of those classic college Bar & Grills you have fond memories of. The atmosphere at Maggie's may be casual, but Emory students know that it's also a place to be seen and to see others.

The Maggie's experience for Emory students is a compilation of a close drive (and taxi ride home), friendly bartenders and a place where you can meet your friends at any hour. Maggie's remains the master of the "Emory scene," and even those who complain about it can be found sitting in a booth until closing time.

Voted America's Number One College Bar by a Major Publication!

Atmosphere: Billiards Bar, Karaoke, Sports Bar , Neighborhood Bar, Food Served Hours: Mon-Fri 12 pm-4 am, Sat-Sun 12 pm-3 am

Head to Maggie's on Sundays and Mondays for 25-cent wings and $6 pitchers. on Wednesdays and Saturdays, check out the worldwide poker tour Texas hold 'em at 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm.

"The time saved in handling invoices for regulated products since we teamed up with Fintech frees us up to spend a lot more time building relationships with customers... the vendors love the arrangement as well since it makes it easier for their delivery people."

Mansion Bar, Inc

Our restaurant serves a wide variety of fine foods with many settings to choose from, a 19th century setting in an old Victorian Mansion for those formal occasions, an old RR Dining Car for a unique experience, a party setting in our lounge or try the Patio on a nice sunny day. The food is excellent, and the service is professional. Whatever you're dining needs, The Mansion is the place for a fine dining experience.

If it's a party, group function or business meeting, we can reserve one of our rooms. We offer a selection of special occasion menus to suit your taste.

As an ongoing mission to strive for excellence, we've decided to use Fintech for our alcohol payments so that we may focus on assisting our customers.

Shane's Rib Shack / Moe's Southwest Grill

Shane's Rib Shack is run as a family, for families and anyone looking for some great BBQ. We serve BBQ pork, chicken and a whole lot more. Its real food, for real people.

Moe's Southwest Grill is a restaurant of Southwestern fare, with a special appreciation for the form and function of a tortilla.

As the controller/bookkeeper for eleven different restaurants, time is always of the essence. I am sure the mangers of each of our Moe's Southwest Grills and Shane's Rib Shacks would certainly agree. In this busy age, it is so convenient to know that we do not have to worry about payment for our alcohol beverages; Fintech takes this burden off our heads so that we are free to serve the best burritos on the planet. We are extremely happy with our arrangement with Fintech and look forward to our continued business as we grow. Thank you Fintech!

The Frenchman's Corner

The Frenchman's Corner fulfills the culinary and epicurean desires of an underserved market. The popular offerings of Belgian chocolate teas, coffees and gourmet foods prompted three expansions in five years of business. This past October, the Frenchman's Corner more than doubled in size opening a 2000 square foot kitchen and home store adjacent to the chocolate and gourmet food store.

An Independent business within a business, Sugar Bottom Enterprises, LLC trades as the Frenchman's Cellar in the expanded space. Focusing on wines of taste and value, The Frenchman's Cellar offers wines from Virginia and from around the world. Specialty cheeses and unique beers round out the offering. The Frenchman's Cellar has been well received by the community and is planning on a 600 square foot expansion in the third quarter of this year.

The decision to use Fintech was an easy one. With Fintech we can receive inventory without interrupting guests and without a check writing signatory on premise. Fintech will help streamline our operations as we grow.

Petra Restaurants

Chef Beto is pleased to introduce to you the essence of the flavors he experienced while growing up with his grandmother Petra, combined with the fresh traditional street dishes he savored on the sidewalks of Mexico. He has put his culinary talent and passion together to recreate simple, fresh, yet boldly flavorful dishes to captivate your senses and transport you beyond the border. We invite you to sit back, relax and savor the street flavors of Mexico, served up with an attitude.

Petra uses the finest ingredients available to prepare this unique, authentic menu. Recipes are made daily from scratch, utilizing only the freshest products possible. We are located at Eldorado Pkwy, one block east of I-75, at Medical Center Dr. on the South East corner.

The Main reason Petra went to the Fintech program was to simplify our accounts payable and stop writing checks every time we received a liquor order.
