What are the cheaper routes to creating a complete accounting and pos software with ERP, CRM and Ecommerce website tailored to restaurant operations? MS Access with other programming language add ons, MS Visual Studio, VB.Net, open source softwares, software development firms and individuals/specialists are some of the options I am expecting to be expounded upon. Your expert knowledge is always appreciated.

What I have tried:

Custom development from a few Software development firms such as Aatex and Yuma POS.

May be customizing an open source ERP.
Can be the cheapest, but certainly not cheap.
Whatever the solution you chose it will be expensive because it is huge.

To develop that suite of applications is a few $million, unless you are a huge restaurant chain you should start a little smaller. Look into dedicated restaurant software, it will probably have booking, POS and accounting functions.

Speaking as a Dynamics GP professional I would question your concept of "cheap". I've provided clients with things like a QuickBooks accounting package with a custom written POS, and that was not even close to "cheap". Alternatively, if a company is facing $15 million to implement SAP then customizing Dynamics AX is " cheap".

No business in their right mind would EVER stake their future on a project like the one about which you are inquiring, and if they are... Run away, 'cause you'll never get paid.

You again?

Creating a MASSIVE system (POS, Account, ERP, CRM, Ecommerce) and putting all that on Access databases? Now I know you're not serious and have no idea what you're doing.

With all of this development work there is no such thing as "cheap".
