Drive-Thru for DHPOS

Post by dtvsd » Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:15 pm

I have been expirimenting with networking with DHPOS, and have found a way to make a drive thru system for it. First you would have two computers at the drive thru window, one to take orders, the other to take money. You would have to have a headset system and then take the orders one the one computer, park the sale, but make sure the sales are in numerical order so you dont screw up the order of the cars. And then on the money collecting computer you would retrieve the parked sale with the lowest number, collect their money and then have a reciept print out so you would know what the orders were. This system would be even better if there was a screen so you could see all the orders, just like the kitchen viewer that was discussed, and then have an option to "park sales in numberical order" the first one would be parked as 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. And then on the money collecting computer have an option do "retieve last parked sale" so you can get the orders that were parked first, and not screw up the order of the cars. Sorry if i am confusing anyone.
