A web interface or Android/iOS app

(1/4) > >>

polymorpher:
For medium/large restaurant it would be very convenient if SambaPOS could be integrated with remote handheld device. An easy way to achieve this is to implement a web interface (on ASPX/PHP) or Android/iOS app to provide simple features like adding a ticket, remove a ticket, and editing a ticket. This would significantly improve the overall impression with customers (they will be like "Cool! It's an iPod / Kindle!").

JohnS:
There is a terminal app for SambaPOS that can be accessed thru RDP to a system running SambaPOS. You can use this with an iPod Touch, or as I prefer, an iPad which I find even better as you have access to all of the features.

polymorpher:
Thanks. It seems there are a lot incomplete work in the terminal version. I can't add ticket or remove items from existing tickets.

The full version doesn't sync information - Say if I create a new ticket in one instance I couldn't see it immediately in another instance unless I refresh the screen (by going somewhere else then return). Is there any workaround? Perhaps we need a server-client model?

JohnS:
The terminal app is designed for quick ticket entry, while it gives you lots of functionality, but its not the full version, hence why I prefer the iPad in most situations. It depends on what you actually want to do.

Make sure you have set the terminal settings within the departments, like what menu to show and which table layout. When you remote in make sure you have set a terminal number for that instance of SambaPOS.

To see instant updates for tables, etc, you need to run the messaging server app on one computers and tell the other terminals to connect to it via Manage -> Local Settings.

If you need more clarity, please don't hesitate to ask.

JohnS:
As you can see by the pictures, order entry is fairly straight forward.
You can modify items, add and remove quantities (on open tickets), set notes, merge and move tables, and print the bill.
And the tables update as you create tickets and print bills.

Yes, some of the words are in Turkish, and the localization is being updated now that the software is being used more widely across the world.

I hope these pictures help - they are from my iPhone running Pocket Cloud RDP with a resolution of 400x600.
