Hi all,
since last December I deployed a B4J-based solution in order to manage 16 POS cash registers at the Cornaredo Stadium in Lugano, home of the FC Lugano, a football club partecipating SFL's Super League and UEFA Champions League.
The solution is data-driven, so almost anything is set up in a remote DB for maximum flexibility.
Each POS can show a different selection of items (eventually even different prices for the same item sold at different points), can be programmed to print receipts only, receipt plus voucher (so it can be consumed at a later time) or nothing. A POS can be instructed to manage separately special accounts where a payment is cumulative and made at a later time.
Actually the program was used not only at the stadium but for other events like Xmas Village and a couple of Conferences (programmed to sell food and beverages).
A smart show schedule permits to rotate as many advertising images as needed during the order composition step. This means the manager could sell those slots to more than two advertiser and set a price based on statistics like the average number of receipts a specific POS (or a given zone) prints.
While no order is running, one or more videos could be played (to sollicit some kind of interest by a passer-by) .
A companion B4A app is in the works to let the manager update things on the fly.
I'd like to thank Anywhere Software for making all this possible.
