Discover scale integration
Electronic scales are easily
connectable to the EasiPos terminals
for the following applications:
1.
For fruit and vegetable retailers or
supermarket checkouts, where the
goods are weighed on the scale
attached to the EasiPos terminal.
2.
For deli counters within a store. Items
are weighed on the EasiPos scale
system and a bar code is produced for
the parcel of multiple weighed items
to be scanned at the cashier’s EasiPos
terminal.
3.
For standalone weighing scales which
produce variable weight bar codes.
These bar codes are scanned into an
EasiPos terminal via an attached bar
code scanner.

Discover photo ID
Photo ID provides a single step solution for many applications. When
signing on an existing debtor, loyalty card user or server, EasiPos
immediately matches the user details with a photographic image and
displays it on-screen for confirmation – actively preventing fraudulent
transactions.
16
Discover a smarter loyalty system
EasiPos can sell values directly
to the popular smart card;
1.
Values written to the card, i.e. a R500
credit costing the customer R450,
creates an effective discount of 10%
on all purchases. EasiPos deducts
purchases incrementally until the
“wallet” amount is either exhausted
or reloaded with more credits.
Balances are posted to the card at
each event.
2.
EasiPos can also create Bonus Rules
for loyalty & reward promotions. If a
customer buys 10 (for example) of any
item over a period of time, they might
be rewarded with a freebie, coupon
of x value, or a preset discount.
All relevant information is written to
the card incrementally at each
purchase.

Ownership at an always low cost
Normally, the implementation of
an advanced point of sale system
would incur substantial cost
overheads in training. Staff
turnovers increase such costs.
Sometimes these “hidden” costs
are not factored in initial pricing.
The good news is that EasiPos
requires little or no operator
training and just in case one
does, EasiPos provides easy to
understand tutorials.
Importantly, EasiPos requires no
IT skillsets. It is designed to be
used by ordinary people.
Just another way in which
EasiPos saves you money!

Reports that make sense
One of the most often heard
complaints about modern POS
systems is that reports are too
long, complicated and thus
difficult to understand.
EasiPos allows you to make up
your own bespoke reports
from a report listings dialogue.
These reports can be further
modified at any time.
In addition, you can schedule
EasiPos to automatically email
selected reports in a secure
PDF format to recipients of
your choosing.
28
Now you can produce a receipt,
invoice or statement that reflects
the status of your establishment.
EasiPos runs on Windows and thus
any printer listed in the list of
printers can be used.
(the example on the left has been
printed on A5 whilst the example on
the right has been printed by a
standard POS receipt/invoice
printer) Printer selection can be
changed at any time.
Print to any printer
29
A common method of printing kitchen orders is
via a standard Windows printer. If the printer is
in an “out of order” or “out of paper” state
when the print instruction is initiated, there is a
risk of the order not being printed - resulting in
lost orders, a disaster in the kitchen and
unhappy customers.
To prevent this from happening, EasiPos has an
ultra secure printing method which
communicates directly with the printer driver.
An “out of order” print status is immediately
communicated to the waiter, forcing the waiter
to accept the error message with a
confirmation.
Can the printer be fixed quickly? Assuming that
it cannot, EasiPos provides an alternative by
allowing the waiter to print the same “stalled”
kitchen docket to another kitchen printer –
which can be predefined for this purpose.
If no other kitchen printer is available, EasiPos
allows you to print the same kitchen order
docket to your receipt printer.
Just another of the very many ways in which
EasiPos saves your business and makes you
more money.

Perfect printing makes for better
business
An important aspect of modern
restaurant point of sale systems is the
ability to send printed F&B orders to
the various preparation stations.
The EasiPos system re-defines it.
Preparation orders are transmitted to
the relevant kitchen printers
immediately the server finalises the
guest’s order – in real time.
Should a kitchen printer be out of
service, EasiPos simply reprints it to
another kitchen printer or even the
receipt printer to ensure that no orders
are lost – ever!
The need for clear, concise and legible
kitchen order slips is also taken into
consideration. The examples on the left
speak for themselves.

An easier way to split bills
Split item

Split lines to
singles first
Print bill
Close bill
OK
You can move items from the original bill to additional bills.
You can also split an individual item across two or more bills.
Re-calculations are automatically done in a flash.
Easily split
items into 2 or
more parts
To cover all requirements, EasiPos provides
three elegant ways of splitting bills.
Method 1 - The traditional way
Select the table / bill and navigate to the
panel with the split billing options (normally
the other functions panel) and select the
“Split Bill” Function. This action will bring up
the Split Bill panel. Touch the item to be
moved and touch the split bill on the right.
If you wish to split an individual item first,
touch the item and then select the number of
splits for this item (in our example we show
two). Now, both equal parts will be shown
on the original bill. Then move the one part to
the second bill as before.
When the splitting is completed, you have
created two bills, the original minus the split
(or transferred) items and the additional bill
with the added items. To finalise, select
either “OK” or “Print Bill” or “Close bill”.
If you wish to create a third or further split
bill, first close the current split bill and then
proceed with the original bill as before.
32
Method 2 – The Equal Split or Sharing Bill
If the parties to a table would like an equal
sharing of the final bill, then EasiPos offers a
very quick and beautiful solution.
1
Select the table / bill and navigate to the
“Share Bill” function (normally found on
the other functions panel.
2.
Next, select the Share Bill function. This will
be followed by another panel asking for the
number of equal sharers to be registered.
3.
That’s it. EasiPos now prints the number of
requested bills and clearly indicates the
amount due by each sharer (In our example
we show 2 bills)
In this example, the bill is equally shared between two guests.
An easier way to split bills
1 2
Bill 1
3
Bill 2
33
Method 3 – The Group Table Off-Splitting
This method is of great value in
restaurants that seat different guests
together at very large tables or banks,
like beer halls.
In this instance, servers do not allocate
separate bill numbers to the different
parties, instead all orders are combined
together under a single table number.
When an individual party departs, the
same split bill panel for method one is
used - but with a slightly different twist.
Once the splitting off for a party or guest
is complete, the splitted off bill is
immediately finalised via the “Closed
Bill” function.
For this operation the use of an EasiPos
Mobile device (handheld terminal) is
highly recommended as it allows the
server to quickly complete the
transaction directly at the table.
Receipts can also be issued at the table If
the server is equipped with a mobile or
belt receipt printer.

Discover auto course management
Above is an example of a course management screen – showing
details of each course. Items can be moved left or right or right to left.
Any amount of courses can be accommodated. It really is that simple!
EasiPos Automatic Course
management ensures that all items
belonging to a specific course are
“fired” or sent to the kitchen
printers at the same time for
preparation.
How does it work?
Selected items and quantities are
linked to a specific course. Each
course can be fired immediately or
at a predefined elapsed time or a
pre-selected time.
What are the benefits?
The chef gets all specific course
orders at the same time. When no
automatic course management is
available then often a kitchen
coordinator would be needed.
The Course Management feature
can also be used to fire orders to the
kitchen at pre-selected times for
both telephone and takeaway
orders.
35
Buttons are freely designable.
Colours, shapes, sizes, fonts, font
sizes and even font colours are
selectable in the EasiPos editing
panel.
A set of easy to use editing tools,
allows you to duplicate button
styles, equalise buttons, space,
move & line up buttons and add &
delete buttons at will.
Editing can be done at any stage.
A selection of ready made
buttons, panel backgrounds and

A panel is the screen you see when
running EasiPos, for example the
screen pictured on the right. There
are some 80 panels in total. How
many of these are used depends on
the application.
Once logged in or signed in,
another panel instantly and
seamlessly appears. This may be a
table layout panel, a department
panel or a PLU panel. Again, it all
depends on the application.
Each panel contains buttons and
may also contain a display and
journal area.
Every element of the panel can be
customised, including its
background as well as the shape,
size, colour and position of its
display and journal areas.
Design your own panels
Logos can be
added to the
panel
The journal area can be of any
size, colour, text and can be
positioned as required.
Backgrounds may be

Panels can have the same
background or different

to add or remove management

How secure is your system?
EasiPos employs several
concurrent levels of protection to
ensure the security of your
system at all times.
Master with back-up master
Connected terminals write all
transactions to both the master
and back-up master terminals.
In the unlikely event of the
master failing, the back-up
master takes over as the new
master and a new back-up
master can then be designated.
