Idealpos 7.1 Key Features

Kiosk

Idealpos can now be configured as a Kiosk!

A Kiosk is a POS terminal configured in a portrait orientation, secured in a mount and customised with a simplified POS screen layout specially designed so customers can easily and quickly place their own order.

Included in the demo database is a demo Kiosk layout that you can use to get some ideas on how to create and design a Kiosk for your customers. The Kiosk is configured just like a standard POS terminal and supports customer loyalty, EFTPOS integration and all features that are available in the POS screen module.

CASH DISCOUNTS

A Cash Discount can now be applied to anyone who pays for their purchase by cash.

If you have a Customer Display installed, the customer will see their potential savings at the bottom of the display if they pay by cash. The checkout operator will also see the Cash discount displayed on the Tender screen.

CENTRALISED CUSTOMER ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS THROUGH POSSERVER

When enabled, Customer Account Transactions are stored in the central POSServer database, ensuring that all POS terminals will retrieve relevant and up-to-date transaction data, resulting in consistent data and increased reliability!

Enabling this option also ensures that a customer is only accessed from one POS terminal at a time.

OPTION TO REMOVE TAX FOR TAKEAWAY ITEMS OR CUSTOMER TYPES (U.S. & CANADA)

Tax can be exempt from Takeaway Items (such as Hot Food). In addition, specific Customer Types can also be configured to be exempt from tax.

DASHBOARD INCLUDES 3D CHARTS

It is now possible to view a 3D Pie-Chart on the Back-Office Dashboard by simply clicking on the existing 2D Pie-Chart. It can be moved by clicking and dragging, or reszied by hovering over the chart and scrolling up/down with your mouse scroll-wheel!
