• Allow Tax Exempt : Do not enable. Applicable Tax Rate is set in BOM against the ITEM.
• Allow Tip : Enable the tipping dialogue at CHECKOUT.
• Show Common  Modifiers When Choosing Item : Enable so that any COMMON MODIFIERS that have been assigned to an ITEM get shown on the POS APP.

• Hide Button for Create Orders in Floor Plan Mode : Will remove the buttons ( if enabled ) for DINE-IN, DELIVERY and QSR when viewing the Floorplans TAB.
• Open Cash Drawer When Paying by Card : if you stick your EFTPOS Merchant Receipts on a spike, turn this off.
• Enable Order Creation and Payment Locally on POS APP ( Offline Support ) : Your POS APP can handle poor internet connections. But when it is really bad, you will get some performance issues. Our support team will sometimes ask you to turn this on – depending on your business structure and integrations. A proper understanding of Offline Mode is required BEFORE enabling this option.
• Don’t Show Pop Up Offering Enabling Offline Mode : If your internet connection is often flaky but quickly recovers, toggling this box will stop the nags.
• Make This Device as Local Server : Please read Local Server.
• Use Local Server : Please read Local Server.
• Ask Passport in Case of ITEMS 18+ : In your BOM you can make an ITEM require verification of age by the CSR. It says “passport” but is just a way to nudge your CSR into checking.
• Show SKU : Where an ITEM has a SKU attached, this can be shown on the ORDER screen.
• Show Orders Only Current User : The ORDERS screen will be filtered to show only the ORDERS created by the logged in CSR.
• Show Virtual Keyboard Button : Where your O/S doesn’t automatically pop up a keyboard on a data entry field, this toggle will let you select the On Screen Keyboard.
• Barcode Format : This is currently configurable for “weight encoded” labels. Soon I will have “price encoded” for use with label printing scales.
• Enable Tare Mode in the Weight Measurement Dialogue : Enable when you use integrated weighing scales that are NMI Approved.
• Tare Weight (GR) : NMI inspectors generally do not like manually entered tares when using integrated weighing scales. Set one here that is always in favour of your customer based on the weight of the bag the customer will put your weighted ITEMS into. ( 4-7 grams as a rule of thumb. heavier if you sell yoghurt in a cup ).
• Maps Provider : Google.
• Region for Search on Map : Australia.
• Enable Extended Log : Please do not enable unless asked to do so by your support team. These can make the logs very big as “everything” gets logged and is used for in depth trouble shooting if required.
