How to use this wiki
How the FooodPos Wiki is laid out, how to read its drawn screens and their numbered markers, how to search, and how to switch between English, 中文 and Bahasa Melayu.
On this page
This wiki explains every function of FooodPos, one by one. Each guide is about one thing you do, or one screen you see. It names every button exactly as your screen does.
Find a guide
There are three ways.
- Use the list on the left. It is in the same order as the screens you use:
- Start here: signing up, downloading the POS app, pairing it and your first bill.
- Back office: the same headings and the same names as the back office's own menu: TODAY, then MASTERS (Menu, Room, Stock, Customers, Member, Outlet, General Setup), then REPORTS. If you can see a page in the back office, look for the same name here.
- POS (Windows and Android): in the order a cashier meets the screens: set up and sign in, the tables, taking an order, payment, then every button and menu of the POS.
- Kitchen, board, kiosk and display, For your guests, and Hardware and help.
- Search. Type in the search box at the top. It searches the titles, the headings and every word of the guides in the language you are reading. Use the arrow keys and Enter, or tap a result.
- Follow the links. Each guide ends with related guides, and with Previous and Next to read on in order.
On a phone, the list is folded under the Guides button at the top of the page.
Read a drawn screen
Most guides have a picture of the screen they talk about. The pictures are drawn, not photographs: clean copies of the real screens, with made-up dishes and prices, never a real restaurant's data.
Red numbers point at the parts of the screen. Under the picture, the same numbers explain each part, in order.
- ← Back to the bill: the first part of the screen this example explains.
- Bill total: the second.
- Take RM 23.40: the third. In a real guide, every button of the screen has its number.
A drawing can be a little different from your screen: your own dishes, prices, outlet and payment methods are shown instead of ours, and a button you have no right to use, or a function your plan does not include, is not shown at all.
In the text, words you see on the screen are in bold, exactly as the screen writes them.
Three languages
Press EN, 中文 or BM at the top right. You stay on the same guide.
- The POS speaks English, 简体中文 and Bahasa Melayu. Each language's guide uses the POS's own words for that language.
- The back office is in English only. So a Chinese or Malay guide names a back office page or button in English, the way you see it, with its meaning in your language beside it.
- A guide that is not translated yet is shown in English, with a note at the top.
Who it is for
At the top of every guide:
- Who uses it: the owner, a manager, a cashier, a waiter, the kitchen, or your guests.
- Where: the back office, the Windows POS, the Android POS, the kitchen display, the order board, the kiosk, or QR ordering.
When the Windows POS and the Android POS work differently, the guide has a part On Windows and a part On Android.
