Amigo Pos 7includes two main components, the Amigo Pos Front End and Back Office.
Amigo Pos 7Front of House
The front end is used for most pos functions including order entry and recall, time clock, transactions, credit card processing and cash drawer management. All features that require text or numeric entry provide and on-screen keypad or keyboard, eliminating the necessity for an external keyboard. The use of a touchscreen display eliminates the need for a mouse. Most buttons contain customizable text and are designed specifically for touchscreen use. The front end will run on any monitor capable of 800 x 600 pixel screen resolution, eliminating the need for a more expensive high resolution. In addition, many newer UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) devices are capable of running 800x600 pixel screen resolution, allowing Amigo Pos 7 to run on many wireless handheld devices without compromising any aspect of the user interface.
Amigo Pos 7Back Office
Back office is used for program setup, configuration and management. All regular, retail, bar and pizza menu items are managed in back office. Data is displayed in user friendly data grids that allow viewing in either List View or Detail View modes and can be exported for use in many popular spreadsheet or database programs. Back office requires a keyboard and mouse to be used effectively. When running back office on pos pos stations, many users elect to use wireless keyboards and pointing devices, storing the devices in a drawer when back office is not in use. Back office can be installed on any PC without a USB Software Protection Device, eliminating the need for an additional Amigo Pos license. If a USB Software protection is not present, Back Office can not be used to reprint orders, but all other functions, including report printing, are available. Back office is installed by default during Amigo Pos 7installation and can be opened in stand-alone mode by clicking the Back office link in the Amigo Pos 7Start Menu Program Group or run by pressing the Back Office icon on the Amigo Pos 7Front End after logging in with appropriate permissions.
