Point of Sale (POS) Restaurant Log in page

To reach this screen from the start page of Skyware Systems select Point of Sale (POS) from the Other section of the Full Menu.

If you are looking for the Maintenance screen for the Point of Sale (POS) system, enter the Configuration area of the Manager's Screen and click Point of Sale (POS).

After initial log in, any restaurant staff will use the restaurant start page as their landing page when accessing the Skyware Systems software.

This start page has several areas that only become live after log in. If changes are attempted without user ID being entered the screen will revert back to the original with the red banner A Quick ID is required!

• Type the User number into the Server Quick ID log in field to make the rest of the screen live.

This can be done using the keyboard, or by using the keypad on the screen.

The options for service are across the top tool bar and the contents are dependent on property.

These include:

• Meal or beverage period (breakfast, lunch, dinner etc)

• Location of service (restaurant, bar etc)

• Section of service (patio, booth, or table),

• Service layout, (which maps out the available tables)

• and Check(s) open. The available options for checks are:

With the Quick Sale button being available for a one-off sale that does not require an open check. Any already open checks will be listed in the respective color under this button.

 

From the example above, we can see that the options chosen are: Dinner, at the Ocean view Restaurant, sitting on the patio, where there are currently 8/8 open tables.

 

Once the options have been specified, the user can click on any of the available table options to open a check. This will turn the table from green to blue, indicating it is no longer available to other staff.

Conversely, if a table is red rather than green (available) or blue (yours), this table is being served by someone else and is not available to open a check at.

For step by step instructions see Create or Open a Check.

Once logged in from this start page, clicking on an available table will open a check for that table, clicking on a table labeled as yours will open the current check for that table. Both actions will take you to the service screen titled Restaurant Check. See Restaurant Check page for more details.
