"Virtual Bonator" is a PC software and was converted from the firmware of the original Bonator into a Windows program. So it
is possible to load the virtual version of the portable BONATOR hospitality computer on
your PC-desktop in order to use all its comfortable functions either by keyboard,
mouse or touchscreen. Of course virtualBonator has also the capability to communicate with
the original portable Bonator, respectively vice versa - you are able to process the
resulting data of the original Bonator on a traditional PC.

A
typical application arises for instance in a hotel-restaurant. For such a company
its wise to use on the terrace and in the restaurant area the portable
Bonator with radio, in the bar the original stationary
Bonator, and in the reception as well in the office the virtual PC based version, as
the figure shows above. This configuration provides the same performance of operation in
every division what minimises time necessary to train employees and enables also a
flexible staff management.
