    Need ideas on how to sell a POS system

    An even greater challenge is the software that's installed on it. Since I'm not familiar with yours, I won't venture a guess on its versatility for possible implementation in a non-pizza setting. However, the hardware of course has value. If indeed the system was *never* put into production...

    osql datetime syntax

    I am a database novice and can't get datetime usage right. There is a stored procedure named ms_purgeolddata that when I enter exec ms_purgeolddata null it works fine and will delete all past data. What I need to find out is how to delete data prior to a certain time, like midnight on...

    POSPRINT.EXE an Aloha Utility

    Part of our group does Aloha... one of the other techs thinks she can figure it out. Send the tool to fnb_pos@yahoo.com. Her name is Laurie.

    Print Time

    I am a beginner using VB and have written a simple project in VB6 that sends instructions to a commercial kitchen printer. The user pushes buttons on a touch-enabled screen. It does most of what I need it to do, but I need help with two things: (1) How do I have it print the time at which the...

    Sorry; I honestly did not know the difference... thanks.

    Dinerware vs. Digital Dining POS

    Dinerware is making a strong charge into the market. It's very robust and reliable as well as affordable plus it's easy to use yet offers lots of reports. I know a few dealers that offer Dinerware. Where are you located? I could put you in touch with one.

    Aloha screens

    That's hard-coded. It cannot be changed except by Iberetch/Aloha/Radiant and I have never known them to honor such a request. This "dead spot" situation is not uncommon in B-grade resistive touch screens, and switching to capacitive ones probably will cost more than replacing the touch head...

    software is a lemon - any recourse??

    Ugh. Sounds like he might have legacy SW that needs more power and/or memory than the machine(s) offer. Either of these almost certainly will cause more headaches and dissatisfaction. And if you do get it to work right, there'll be no guarantees that it will play nicely as the DBs increase in...

    Rewiring a straight into a crossover

    Save yourself from wasted time and aggravation... pull new.

    cat 6 cable with cat 5 ends

    Ditto to Servmatic... BTW, what's running across it? Is it something that now needs (or will need) GB capability? If you invest in the cable, do the same for the jacks, etc. The cost should not be a consideration if you've already planned to run 6.

    New Business Advise

    You get what you pay for... investing in a quality system eventually will yield its return in more captured revenue. Stay away from cheap systems that seem too good to be true. Aloha, Dinerware and possibly Digital Dining are about the only ones that are worth considering anymore. Remember to...

    zeroing item totals

    Why would you want to "zero out" item totals, or anything else for that matter, unless you don't want point-of-sale recording? One of the primary purposes of data capture is to *purposely* record that sort of thing. Ditto on Bospruell's comment re: "X" vs. "Z"... if you don't want a trail, get...
