Building SambaPOS 3.x Roadmap

(1/3) > >>

emre:
SambaPOS 2.x release is feature frozen. That means we'll add only bugfixes to 2.x release and we'll keep it stable.

Now we started working on 3.x release. Here are my first plans about 3.x release:

* Payment types will be configurable. Besides current payment types (cash, credit card, voucher) it will be possible to add new types. For example credit cards based on type or cash payments by different currencies.
* Templating cash transactions. We'll configure cash transaction templates like "personnel payment", "rent payment". By using templates entering transactions will be simpler and reports will be better.
* Users will send exception reports directly to our team.
* Getting payments and changing from different currencies.
* Graphical reporting and analysis tool.Let me know your ideas or suggestions.

Hi, First congrats by your great software.
I notice you have recipe and inventory but i was wondering if it could get a little more detail. Like the quantity in the recipe by wieght, or liquid. Example if i sell a staek it should take 250gr out of my inventoy. Or if i sell a long island ice tea it should take 30ml of rum, 30ml of tequila, 60ml of icetea, and so on. And in the report it should show me how much i have left.
Thanks,
Keep the great work.

I think payment types is a great idea.  Our restaurant has contracts with some online companies, like grubhub.com and seamless.com, both provide your menu online, do some marketing, etc.  They take a credit card online for orders, and mail a check once a month.  I settle them with Voucher now, but being able to break them out would be excellent!

Integrated Credit Card Processing

Configuration ... you can configure external processing or integrated processing.  If processing is set to external, it behaves as it does now, ie you can create a ticket, settle it, and tag that it was payed using a credit card.  If it's set to integrated the following happens: 

Cashier creates a ticket with food items
Customer get's the bill and provides a credit card
Cashier clicks settle, then swipes the credit card
If the credit card strip isn't readable, or the CC is given over the phone, like for deliveries, Cashier enters the information by hand in the terminal using the keyboard.

The terminal does a CC auth (pre-authorizes the amount + 30% to accommodate any tip that's left on the card)
If approved the terminal prints a receipt that contains the stared out credit card number and information, the name on the card, etc., the amount, and a blank line for the tip amount and signature.
Customer signs and returns to server. 

We still need to capture the Tip Amount, and "force" the transaction for the total amount of the bill (bill + tip), which, depending on how busy the restaurant is might be done at that time or at the end of the night/shift, etc. 

The total amount of tips could be added as a line item in the report, because it needs to be paid to the cashier. 

I can help with coding on this if you like, or maybe this is a candidate for an external module?

Hello aloupos.

Nice to see you here. After reading your post I thought it will be nice to prepare a document to demonstrate some SambaPOS features. I'll be happy if you can try it and share your thoughts with us.

Thanks.

edit:Hey it seems you created a nice feedback while I'm preparing this document. My comment relates with your first post. Thanks.
