"Having succeeded so well with speed on the front end, we designed our back office to be so user friendly most people can figure it out themselves." ImPOS Technical Director, Paul Chiu. Saving an item into ImPOS is very fast and straightforward. To put that item on the screen involves selecting the item and dragging it into the desired position. Multiple menu designs can be managed from the one screen ensuring speed on the front end. A few features within Back office...

• Price Set overview - you may define a sub-list to look at different price sets for items great for functions or specials items
• Course overview - as soon as an entrée item is selected it can be grouped under the entrée course grouping in the kitchen
• Modi-List setup - quickly define the modifiers that can be attached to items, e.g. steak - cooking method - sauces
• Define discounts

Most POS systems will allow you to allocate modifiers for an item ImPOS allows you to set values for the modifiers picked within a list which is effective for venues that serve mains with a selection of two side dishes for example - this way the staff can't select a main without selecting two side dishes.

Using the Auto Modifier feature you can allocate what items are to be included for a particular dish. This function was developed for "Wrap it Fresh" venue so that the staff know the quantities of each modifier for make up an item each time the item is selected.

Managing different layouts within ImPOS is easily achieved. You have the ability to save away as many layout designs as you want, e.g. weekend/weekday or function A, B, C etc. and load a layout at any given time. Different areas within the venue can be setup with floor plan layouts/images sitting underneath the tables to familarise staff with the table positions.

Defining price changes based on time is made quick and easy. With the flexibility of 15 different price levels per item allow multiple different price changes effortlessly.

Each user or employee can be defined to a particular department thus enabling a cost vs. department report to be created with an hourly rate defined per employee. Smart Codes (wrist bands, swipe cards etc.) can be allocated to each employee for added security. Up to 100 different authorities levels can be defined when entering or editing an employee's attributes. This enables the administrator to lock an employee out of a particular function such as voiding or refunding.

Messages can be sent to employees instantly or setup so that the message appears on screen at a particular date/time in the future. When the message is read it records this with the date and time that they employee has read the message.
