What Excellent is
Excellent combines events, staff training, marketing, and investor relations tools for high-end restaurant groups. Its event tools cover proposals, e-signatures, contracts, banquet event orders, deposits, payments, calendars, guest portals, and reporting. Excellent Craft provides courses, graded assessments, certifications tied to specific versions, a staff portal, kiosk access, and compliance evidence packs. AI can draft proposals, contracts, banquet event orders, lessons, investor updates, and social posts, but a person approves each item before it is sent or published. The service runs on Android, iOS, and web, and the maker says it works on phones and desktops; event-day pages work offline. Products are written for English and Spanish. Workspace setup and evaluation are free with no card or time limit, and a subscription starts when the organization goes live. Annual billing is $300 a year, billed $3,600 a year per location; monthly billing is $360 a month, billed per location. The terms say the service does not yet offer a contractual uptime guarantee.
