TracRite Software Inc has been building and developing the Optimum Control(c) software packages since 1997. The company is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with an extensive dealer network throughout the world.

The program started with a restaurant operator, looking for a tool that was easy to use and did not require extensive time to setup and maintain. He was looking for a program that was affordable to the average operator and would provide the tools required to run his business effectively. After searching vainly, he teamed up with some programmers and the first version was born.

The program has remained true to its roots. Development has always and continues to be driven by feedback from the operations level and goes through extensive "true operations" testing prior to full release. From its simple beginnings, the software is now used extensively throughout North America and in over 45 other countries.

The program's original creator, Jeff Hands, remains with the company in the role of president and chief visionary. And yes, he stills makes a great bean burrito!
