I actually was shopping around for new software a while back. The poolroom I worked for was using an old version of Dolphin (which isn't bad). The best one I ran across was made by Cue Nique called Micro Logic Operator II.
It's network capable, user friendly and very easily manipulated. Also, Cue Nique has been in the business a long time and appear to have a great support staff.
I have used timemagic for last 5 years, very good reliable system, easy for employees to learn, I have food sales , retail sales and large amount of pool tables rentals running thru the sytem with no problems. reccomend adding on some fuctions like touch screens fuction and such, but great overall system and real good support if there is any problems. www.timemagic.com. Cant go wrong with this software, the company keeps putting out many upgrades and you will always be able to contact support if need be via email or 1-800 #. good luck!
I used TIME MAGIC at Crown Billiards that I owned in Bloomington MN. For the money it is the best deal out there. It works easier with a touch screen monitor. When I was in Florida recently I was in two pool hall bars that used it and they said they loved it.
