Install the Boss app and sign in

The Boss app shows your restaurant's sales on your phone: today's figures, sales by hour, the best sellers, staff sales, payments, every bill, and the stock, kept items and Pay later balances. It lives at fooodpos.com/boss.

It only reads. Nothing can be changed from it: no bill, no price, no setting. Every figure is one a back office report already gives, for the same outlets and the same business day, so the phone and the back office always agree.

You can use it in two ways:

• On any phone, iPhone or Android: open the page in the phone's browser and add it to the home screen. It then opens like an app, with no browser bars.
• As an Android app, when one is published: install FooodPos Boss from a file.

Both show the same pages and use the same sign-in.

Before you start

• You have a back office sign-in: an email and a password. The Boss app uses the same one. There is no separate Boss account.
• What you see depends on your back office access group. The owner (Administrator) sees everything. Each tab needs the same right as the back office report it reads; see Good to know.
• The phone is on the internet. Every figure is read fresh. The figures you saw last are shown at once while the new ones load.

Where to find it

The address is the same everywhere: fooodpos.com/boss. The back office also points to it in three places:

• Dashboard: the Boss app button at the top, and Install the Android app beside it when an Android app is published. See Dashboard.
• Today at a glance: the same Boss app button. See Today at a glance.
• POS apps: the box Boss app (your sales on your phone), with the Android file and a QR code to scan. Open it from the menu under your name: POS apps (download).

Part 1: put it on your phone

A. On any phone: add the page to the home screen

B. On an Android phone: install the app

The Android app is the same pages in a window of their own. What it adds:

• Pull down to reload: drag the page down from the top to read everything again.
• No connection: with no internet it shows No connection. Check the internet and try again. and a Retry button, instead of an error page. Coming back to the app tries again by itself.
• Back goes back through the pages you opened (a bill back to the list). At the first page, Back puts the app in the background; it is still there when you come back.
• A link to another site opens in the phone's browser.
• Inside the app, the menu has no Open the back office and no Install the Android app.

Part 2: sign in

Choose a subscription

Choose an outlet

What you see after signing in

• The app opens on Today every time, with the outlets it was left on.
• The top bar names the restaurant. Press it for the menu: the subscription, Switch subscription…, Open the back office and Sign out.
• The look follows the phone: light by day, dark when the phone is set to dark.
• You stay signed in on this phone until you sign out, or until the sign-in ends.

What if…

Good to know

• It changes nothing. The menu says it at its foot: FooodPos Boss shows figures only. It changes nothing.
• Each tab asks the same right as its back office report. A tab you may not see says Your sign-in may not see … and An administrator can allow it in the back office, under the access group this sign-in belongs to. The rights, in Back office access groups:

• A right given or taken shows without signing in again. The app reads your rights again each time it comes back on screen.
• Signing out forgets this phone's copies. The figures the app kept to show quickly are deleted, and so is the outlet choice.
