Linux
Point of Sale ( Linux POS ) is better in so many ways. It's
more reliable and is much more affordable.
It's supported by a world of Free Software contributors.
It's more versatile and more intuitive to use. Linux point of
sale, 'POS' is a far better value because it is second to none, at any
price, from any company. In this photo you can see what a
state-of-the-art, Server-Free, solution looks like. If you
want a POS system that just works, won't cost as much as a new car, and
if you want to be able to freely talk with the people who stand behind
it, you will find all this and more at ViewTouch.
I'm Gene Mosher,
creator of the ViewTouch POS trademark.
this is my 34th year in the POS business. I stand with a
worldwide network of Linux Point of Sale Specialists behind every
ViewTouch display. I
first devised kitchen printing in 1979, created the first graphic touchscreen POS
interface in 1986 and named it ViewTouch. The touchscreen interface
almost certainly looks familiar even if you've never actually seen it
before. The 'look and feel' of the copyrighted ViewTouch POS
interface has been copied by virtually every POS company throughout the
world. My ViewTouch interface has become the global de facto standard;
it's intuitive and easy to learn. Any
hospitality business in the world can afford the world's best, the
world's 'Original', Point of Sale.
The ViewTouch
trademark applies to the POS interface and to the community of point of
sale and Linux
experts which I sponsor, a community which spans the globe.
This community is a network of dedicated professionals who share the
vision and the spirit of innovation that has inspired me since I first
began building restaurants and building information automation systems
nearly forty years ago. These Linux and POS experts share and are
enabled by all of the ViewTouch POS resources and expertise accumulated
across four decades.
They have pledged their efforts, with mine, to provide you
with top notch point of sale technology at a price that is readily
affordable. You may trust that the members of the ViewTouch community
around the globe understand the challenges facing hospitality
professionals and can offer solutions to meet them.
I proudly introduce
you to ViewTouch Point of Sale. On the following pages you'll
begin to find answers to many of your questions about how POS
technology can make your hospitality business easier and more
profitable to operate. Let's begin the tour, then.

Analysis:
Report formats in HTML, Postscript or PDF. View or print on any
Internet browser or printer. Analyze any day or period, in real time,
as it happens and at any future time. Every report is available
forever; we NEVER erase ANY old data to make room for new data. We back
up data as part of our service and support package.
ViewTouch includes Touch
'n' View for easy access to reports and
data. It's a quick, easy-to-use, data storage design and report
generator which does away with the need for any third party relational
database (RDBMS) and sequential query language (SQL). It's a versatile,
easy way to obtain meaningful transaction reports without having to
install some third-party's database and learn how to query it. Simply
put, we stand for simplicity, especially when it comes
to understanding the significant implications of all that data
about your organization that we are archiving.
There
are Touch
'n' View
reports for every aspect of your operation -- a revenue report provides
details of daily transactions shows, shift by shift, food and beverage
class totals, average check/table totals and productivity totals.
Analyze the strength or weakness, success or failure, of every item on
the menu, including modifiers. Evaluate menu item performance for any
day, period, year, even by employee. View an analysis of menu items
alphabetically or by their family grouping. There are important facts
there you need to know.
Table
Graphics and Guest
Check Management: Create
table graphics, manage seating and guest checks. Table waiters and
waitresses can each have personalized table views. Checks are
transferred to other tables. Takeout, delivery and catering schedules
are supported. All checks and payment detail are view able on screen at
any time in the future. An audit trail permanently captures the details
of all check edits, voids and comps. Split checks and merge
checks with ease, either by seat or by menu item. Do reorders with a
single touch. Capture the revenue that should go with all those
upcharges!

groups will have which responsibilities, whether at the supervisory or

account ledger.
