The EPOS Interface
A good investment in a decent till is probably one of the wisest decisions any business
person can make, especially when entrusting others in your workplace to collect
cash on your behalf. Resident Pro links to certain epos solutions so that you can
billback charges from your restaurant and bar. It is important to note that Resident
Pro does not link to every cash register and epos solution out there in today's
market. Epos links have been carefully selected, tried, and tested. Such compatible
epos solutions can be purchased from dealers all around the uk. For further details
of epos visit the dealers on the Contacts Page or read on.
If you are a local epos dealer, supplying ICRTouch, iTouch, GPoS Fidelity, or Uniwell epos systems, please contact M D Smith for further information.
Reception Cash Drawer
Before we look
at EPOS solutions for the bar and restaurant, let's start by attaching a Posiflex
Cash Drawer to the USB drive of your computer behind reception, to avoid cash being
left around the desk.
Each
time a financial transaction occurs on Resident Pro, the cash drawer opens, ready
to put away the money, or the merchant copy of the credit card receipt. A
hidden slot compartment is useful for non-cash items such as stamps that you may
wish to deposit without opening the drawer

The recommended CR4005 cash drawer can be fitted to the underside of your counter,
or alternatively a contemporary flip-top model CR2205 offers a space saving design.
Posiflex is a quality cash drawer, which is durable and highly reliable and can
be supplied direct with your Resident Pro order

Note: Price includes USB model CR-4005, delivery and software module. Optional undercounter
fixing bracket available.
ICRTouch EPOS
Technically
ICRTouch runs in all Windows Operating Systems. ICRTouch allows real time room verification
before the check is sent to the room bill, or non-residents. On confirmation of
the guest room, the transaction is sent to the Resident Pro room, or function diary bill.
ICRTouch
has been designed to be easy to use and maintain. Helpful prompts guide operators
through each sale, with messages displayed throughout to keep the operator informed
as to what is going on. Reports are similar to conventional cash registers and with
it's built in back office, X and Z reading functions, an end of day report can easily
be taken at the touch of a button. Programming and file maintenance also follows
a similar structure to a cash register.
Designed primarily with bars and restaurants in mind, features like the graphical
table plan option showing the status of the tables - e.g. green is free and blue
has had a bill issued. The number of covers also is shown on the table. Split checks
and bills are taken care of by simply highlighting the items to be separated and
touching the arrow keys. An advanced price level scheduler allows very powerful promotions and happy hour features.
ICRTouch connects to the computer via Ethernet cat5 cable over TCP/IP.
Uniwell EPOS
Uniwell
"HMS" and "06 ROM" range of epos allows real time room verification before the check
is sent to the room bill. A perfect solution if you need a "live" link from your
bar terminal, to send simple check balances to Resident Pro rooms.
If the Uniwell system is
configured for a real time link, then a transaction can be finalised to a room number.
When the room number is entered, either by number or by swiping a room card, the
guest name is displayed for verification.
On confirmation of the guest room, the transaction is sent to the Resident Pro room,
and a receipt with a signature line printed. The Resident Pro invoice is updated
with the major group totals and check details.
In addition to the touch-screen
models such as the Dx890, Dx895 and Dx915 (pictured above), the Uniwell range also
offers a low-cost epos solution in the SX700 model (pictured left).
Uniwell connects to the computer using an Rs232 Serial cable, or in the case of
the new 06 ROM range (v1.12 onwards), via Ethernet cat5 cable over TCP/IP.
iTouch EPOS
iTouch is an easy-to-use POS software suite which includes point-of-sale,
back office, stock control, accounts receivable, customer loyalty, delivery module
and time and attendance.
The iTouch can be configured for a real-time link, then a transaction can be finalised
to a room number. When the room number is entered, the guest name is displayed for
verification, and the transaction is sent to the Resident Pro room, to the correct
sales category.
iTouch connects to the computer via Ethernet cat5 cable over TCP/IP.
GPoS Fidelity EPOS
Being PC based, GPoS is capable of delivering "Legacy" ECR speed
along with the advanced flexibility of a PC based product. GPoS will run on most
leading manufacturers touch screen terminals including machines by Aures, IBM, J2,
Panasonic, Partner Tech, Protech, Sharp, Toshiba & XN. GPoS features a graphical
user interface that can be easily customised. This graphical system reduces the
training time for operators, as each screen is fully user configurable.
The GPoS can be configured for a real-time link, then a transaction can be finalised
to a room number. When the room number is entered, a list of rooms is displayed
for verification, and the transaction is sent to the Resident Pro room, to the correct
sales category.
GPoS connects to the computer via Ethernet cat5 cable over TCP/IP.
Conclusion
The Uniwell, Icrtouch, GPoS, and iTouch solutions are all standalone systems in
their own right.
They enable sales to be billed back to Resident Pro, and can be purchased from your local Dealer, with
optional stock control software, and remote Hand Held ordering pads.
These systems send the "Amount", "Receipt Number", "Date and time", and "Room Number"
to Resident Pro. ICRTouch & GPoS also send the "Itemised products" and "Quantity", whilst
the Uniwell sends the "Guestname data", and iTouch the table number (as follows)...

Audrey McMillan, Gower
Yours is the only one
I have downloaded and test driven many programs from all over the world produced
by both small and large companies, but they all seem to have something missing,
yours is the only one that comes near to having ‘the lot’.
Mike Lett, Spain
A pleasure to use
I was surprised how quickly I was able
to ditch my old faithful paper diaries for the new system and I have not looked
back
Greg Harrand, Hedley House Hotel
Fantastic
The usability is fantastic; any new members of staff pick it up straight away. The
database facilities has aided marketing initiatives which has had a positive impact
on business, allowing us to target and grow our repeat business.
