Which POS hardware printer do you suggest for printing guest checks? top

We recommend the Epson TM-T88II or Epson TM-T88III Parallel Interfaced thermal receipt printer. Epson printers are fast and quiet, and are recommended for busy restaurant software environments. We suggest the Parallel Interface models, which are easier to setup and maintain. Gladius POS restaurant software also supports serial printers. (Currently our software will ONLY work with Epson and/or "Epson-Mode" printers like Star TSP600).

Which POS hardware printer do you suggest for printing kitchen & bar checks top

For kitchen & bar printing, we recommend any of the following printers: Epson TM-U210. We recommend the Parallel Interface models, which are easier to setup and maintain. For the kitchen, we suggest a TM-U210 series "dot matrix" printer for the noise it makes and it won't "smudge" as easily with greasy fingers.

Gladius restaurant point of sale software does not need a dedicated File Server or an expensive File Server operating system such as Windows 2000 Server. You can install your database on one of your POS computers to save on expenses. However, for installations of three or more computers, we recommend that you use a dedicated computer to host the database.

Can I process an order created on another POS station? top

Yes. In a network environment, all POS computers link to a "shared" database file located on one of the computers, called the File Server. This provides the ability to recall, settle, or initiate tasks from any POS station.
