Hi Lemmings,
Thanks for your response. I've come to realise that there are so many elements to this software that are beyond my understanding and I simply don't have the time to work it all out. We actually opened last week and we've been using an inadequate cash register that isn't keeping up. I found SambaPOS while searching for an inexpensive or free solution to our problem, as we've virtually maxed our budget.
Is there anyone in the community offering their services for hire to set the program up for businesses? At this moment, we're basically just needing a cash register with some added features. Our shop is a Cafe/Providore. We have 16 tables and a large communal table to seat 12 individuals. We're simply wanting to apply tickets to each table and easily keep track of orders as they come in and add items to the tickets as necessary, such as additional coffees and deserts. Though this software if very complex, it looks as though it would be easy to use for our wait staff once properly configured for our cafe. Once the software is set-up for the most basic functions, I can then add features as they're needed, such as printing to the kitchen. For now, I'm just wanting the table screen to open where we can select one of our tables and immediately start adding items to it's associated ticket. The customer will come to the counter to pay and we can call up their Table Ticket and print them a receipt. Splitting bills is also important, as many of our customers are wanting this. We also need to create takeaway tickets, as we're selling a lot of takeaway coffee.
Is there anyone who can set this up for us for a fee?
Thanks again!
