Title: Any plans for a table plan screen?
Post by: chrismint on January 24, 2012, 07:11:22 pm
Firstly, great job on a great, clean, usable pos!  I've been in catering for over 15 years and have been driven mad by bad/bloated pos software, but somehow so far sambopos seems to be able to do what it needs to and nothing more.

I understand v3 is intended to expand sambapos beyond bars and restaurants, but is there any plan to extend features specific to restaurants?  The biggest example would be a configurable table plan instead of just a big page of table buttons, but other features could include -

- Improved table/bill splitting merging and sharing
- User specific cash ups / tips
- Rota/wage module to handle payroll recording

Even without these sambapos seems great to me and I'm really looking forward to seeing how v3 works out!

Cheers,
Chris

Hello chrismint

Open a Table Screen, change View Mode to custom and give a background image. When you come back to table screen and right click on it you'll be able to enable design mode and configure buttons as you want. For example
(http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/294100_197113447023684_142820085786354_464067_892631110_n.jpg)

Sambapos does table splitting / merging. I'll be happy if you can tell us what do you mean by improved splitting...

Yes V3 will open a path for different types of businesses but every new V3 features are primarily for restaurants. For example you want to track server tips and wages. V3 will include a special accounting system simplified for restaurants. That means there will be no need to implement specific features / modules for tracking similar (tips, wages, customer credits, gift cards, etc) amounts.

Just when I thought this software couldn't be any better.
Thank You
