Re: POS software for food service

We currently are using Horizon's IQ system POS with Metz's food service
and MealPay Plus for online accounts. The system works fairly easy
enough for all user. We use ID's card though the line. We have
integrated the system with Blackbaud Education Edge product for student
bill and ID / user setups. Each checkout station ( cash register ) runs
a copy of SQL express which in turn sync to the main server when
communication is restored in the back ground. Mealpay is used by
students, staff and faculty to prepaid online. They host all needed
websites for a 5% transaction fee. We currently are not yet connecting
any of our vending machine.

I'm just waiting on a final okay to purchase Food Service Solutions'
shrinkwrap POS system.

The design of the software seems solid, especially in terms of how it
handles network outages. Pricing was competitive, and they are more
than
happy to help us with a very quick implementation. They said it could
be
done in as little as a day if we put people on it.
