Premium POS Module

Overview

The Premium POS Module for POS Pizza gives operators full control over their desired POS experience. You design the workflow. You design the user interface. You decide what features are available. You can set the size, shape, function, wording, font, colors, icon, position and more for each button that you create on a page. Each page can hold up to 49 buttons, and you have 255 button pages to work with. There are over 40 individual functions that can be assigned to buttons as you design your system. A full list of these functions can be found below, but buttons can do all kinds of tasks from showing reports, printing receipts, opening the cash drawer, adding menu items, and navigating to other pages of buttons.

You decide the main screen colors, the price indicator colors, the order slip (upper right) colors, and the button area colors, as well as choose a set of fonts for each design. You can have multiple layouts for various machines in your store. You can have one setup for phone answering stations, another for the front counter stations, and yet another for the bar. Templates are easy to manage and copy between stations and even between stores when you use our free Premium POS Profile Tool found in our support forums.

You can decide how you want your workflow to operate. Do you want to ask the order type first (take-out, delivery)? For adding items, you can decide the steps needed. Specials could be 1 click if they are on your home screen. You can put other items 2 clicks away by creating a category button which goes to a new page of buttons containing items in that category. Maybe you want to ask for a size or even a crust type along the way. You have full control over the workflow, so you can design a system that best meets your needs.

The Premium POS Module is an add-on package which gives you expanded capability over the standard "Main POS Module". The Premium POS Module can be added on to any POS Pizza v7 or newer SA or CS license for only $179 additional. The Premium POS Module requires a node license in order to run, just like the standard POS module. This module replaces the standard module, so once it has been configured, there would be no need to run both.

Assignable Button Functions



Label mode: Flat Labels don't do anything and are only used to label your pages or sections
Label mode: Sunken Label with 3D sunken appearance
Label mode: Raised Label that looks like a button. Note: Fonts on labels add a 3D look so they look a little thicker and like they're stamped into the label surface.
Go to page When clicked, another button page is loaded. Most other functions can also set a page to go to after their function has been performed. This is especially handy when adding items to return you to the main page showing the list of categories etc.
Add Item to order Adds a specific inventory item to the order. Item, quantity, and edit locking are configurable with each button using this function.
Add Group to order (fixed) Adds a pre-selected group (or special) to the order. The group is assigned to the button when this function is selected.
Add Group to order(from list) Adds a group (or special) to the order, which the cashier chooses from a list.
Add Non-Inventory to order (fixed) Adds a non-inventory item to the order. This item is configured with the button. The description, cost, and taxes that apply are saved with the button.
Add Non-Inventory to order (open) Adds a non-inventory item to the order. The cashier gets to type in the description, set the cost and sales taxable.
Type Delivery (w/customer prompt) Prompts for a customer, and then sets the type to Delivery if the customer who was chosen is within the allowed delivery area.
