I once worked in an architecture/engineering firm with an old school architect who worked wonders with pencils and inks. He had a cartoon over his desk: "Computer aided drafting." Showed a crusty, bearded architect sitting on top of his computer as though it were a chair, while drawing with pencils as usual.

Back on topic, the solution as I see it is a data store, and different interfaces customized for each employee. Expensive, but the bartender and the hostess don't need the same information.
