I don't have any experience with POS touch screens specifically, but I do understand that touch
screen monitors aren't aware of what software is running on the computer - they simply translate
screen touches to mouse click coordinates. So, it seems to me that any software that accepts mouse

>>Hi everybody,
>>sorry for the long post, but please read ahead and tell me your opinion.
>>I have to implement a web based pos system for a restaurant.
>>Before start coding i will be glad to hear your opinions and advices.
>>
>>First of all i decided to go web-based instead of using existing ofbiz POS
>>because it does not cover all my needs. In the restaurant i need:
>>1) To enter the registered customers for order payments.
>>2) To edit orders.
>>3) To do Returns.
>>4) To visualize tables, seats, to do table reservations...
>>
>>I decided to do a new ofbiz component, with UI similar to pos (but html, not
>>swing) for easy using with touch screens, that allows order entering in a
>>fast way (similar to order manger but with possibility to enter orders in
>>lesser clicks).
>>
>>Is there someone that has experience in this kind of things that can give me
>>some advice? Do you see any possible difficulties and drawbacks in doing a
>>web based pos system?
>>
>>About the implementation:
>>The other thing that i have to care are the tables and people setting there.
>>For tables i can use Fixed assets, but i cannot decide how to handle/group
>>customer orders.
>>1) One way to go is to create a separate sales order for every person, so
>>everyone can pay only for his/her products.
>>Then i can group the orders for the table with a work effort. I need to
>>group the orders, because i need all the time to calculate the total for the
>>table, the total product list and the complete all the orders for the table
>>with one click, if needed.
>>Do you think that manipulating lots of orders could work fast enough,
>>because for example the order creation in ofbiz is heavy_weight/slower than
>>other operations?
>>
>>2) The other way to go is to create only one order per table at a time and
>>to create separate ship groups for every person. This way i can assign
>>parties to ship groups, but it is NOT possible these parties to pay only for
>>their products in the ship group. Is it possible somehow? This way i have to
>>create, edit , complete only one order for all the people setting around a
>>table at moment.
>>
>>(In general my questions are: is it a good idea to do a web based pos and to
>>manipulate lots of orders at the same time (like one order) regarding fast
>>working needs of a pos system ?)
>>
>>Please advise and thanks in advance.
