Previous Top Next |
|
|
| This POS Interface Module works seamlessly with RMS to record transactions from your restaurant etc. and in turn bill them to your guest's accounts.
|
|
|
| The POS Interface Module must be installed onto a computer which will run 24 hrs a day to monitor all incoming transactions.
|
|
|
| Your POS monitor will show in your system tray as the icon below.
|
|
|
| WHAT IS THE POS INTERFACE MODULE?
|
| POS INTERFACE MODULE – is the RMS module.
|
| POS SYSTEM – is the 3rd party software.
|
|
|
| The POS Interface Module is designed to work in conjunction with third party software; this software is to be purchased separately to the RMS software. Our Sales staff will make available to you a list of providers which we currently interface with.
|
|
|
| For a debtor who is not a guest, setup a client in the RMS system, note the client account number and enter this same account number into the same debtor account in the POS system in the RMS field provided. As the guest pays there account you must also receipt this money from the guest account in RMS.
|
|
|
| Cash Sales are not debtors and thus do not go through the RMS interface.
|
|
|
| You cannot have Alpha/Numeric rooms numbers when using the H&L Interface program.
|
|
|
| Shopper-dockets are debtors within the POS system therefore must be setup as a client in the RMS system. You must periodically charge a credit to the account to create a zero balance.
