Speed on ringing up the item is critical…

So I normally set up – on the main menu –
Small Pizza
Medium Pizza
Large Pizza

Then on each “Page” set up all the small / med / large pizzas or if you don’t have a BIG selection – all on 1 page.

Now you can sell…

Then – on the small Pizza screen – a button for No’s & Extras – this will be linked to stock items to work out your stock better… BUT no price on the No’s..

Same for Med & Large…

Similar concept for Swops – Eg. An item that will say no Seafood – linked to cooking message for all the seafood items & once selected it will then bring up the “Swop to” page for other seafood or all items…

Eg. No Seafood – possible options : Prawns, calamari, mussels & then swop for : prawns, calamari, mussels, steak, ribs, avo, etc etc

This way a customer can order a prawn pizza & swop for a calamari pizza…

It takes time, but once configured – it works well & you wont loose money…

Then w.r.t. Bill of Materials – do the BOM for a Small Margherita then Small Hawaiian has 1 x Small Margherita plus ham plus pineapple… Medium would be 1.5 of small & large 2 x small (In other words – you only do the full breakdown of a small margherita…

You can also add the small / medium / large boxes in or create an item for small prep item which will have a BOM of the box, serviette etc.

Hope this makes sense…

How do you change your default printer to an A4 printer?

Go into your Windows control panel.

Easiest on win10 is to click on your Window logo bottom left & type in CONTROL

In the control panel - select display as small icons & then devices & printers (As Attached)

In the devices & printers - right click on any A4 printer & select "Set as Default"

1. Do a 4POS backup if you can : c:\4POS\4POSBackup.exe
2. In control panel - Programs - click on 4POS - Repair
3. Run 4POS upgrades (From where you saved it or normally under c:\4POSUpgrade\4POSSqlExeUpgrades.exe)
4. Open 4POSScan to see if it is opening
5. If it opens - close & restore your 4POS backup
5.1. Either open the 4POSBackoffice - click on register later - click ok on password then under utilities - other utilities - restore backup or...
5.2. c:\4POS\4POSRestore.exe (Master password explained in the 4POS Manual)
6. Open 4POSbackoffice & do update POS

Might be obvious to some but you can configure 4POSTouch to print the word "Order" on the invoice rather than "Table".

When entering the font size, ensure that it is entered in decimals... Eg 12.00 will be entered as 1200

If it is entered as 12 it will show / save 0.12 & not print anything...

The same concept is used by some of our customer to deal with large amounts of cash received in coins or small change.

They would then ring up a "Deposit" with negative value & save the sale.

This is a Credit which the customer can then redeem when he / she has done their purchases.

The reverse is also true if you wish to only sell at your sales counters & then only receive cash at your central cashier....
