Chapter 3
The POS Terminal
This is the register, at /pos in the sidebar. Time packages and products share one cart here, so a customer buying an hour and a drink checks out in a single transaction.
- A stats bar across the top shows today's revenue and counts, so far.
- Attach a customer to the sale to pull in their balance and tier.
- Checkout supports split payments, a promotion code, or a manual staff discount.
- A recent sales table shows the last several transactions today, for a quick "did that go through" check.
Printing receipts
The receipt icon in the recent sales table, and the Receipt action in the Transaction Log, open a receipt already laid out for an 80 mm thermal roll and pop the print dialog straight away. Pick your thermal printer, print, done.
- Set the 80 mm printer as the default printer on the counter PC, so it is pre-selected every time.
- For one-touch printing with no dialog, launch Chrome or Edge with the
--kiosk-printingflag. The receipt then prints to the default printer the instant it opens, and the tab closes itself. - Nothing is installed on the server. This uses the printer's own Windows driver, so any 80 mm printer that prints from Notepad will print receipts.
Note
Opening and closing your shift also happens from here, not from a separate page. Look for the shift button near the top once your center has shift enforcement turned on (more in Chapter 7).
