A Sub POS either keeps its own shift, like the Main POS, or has none and is counted with the Main POS. The back office decides it: May run day end on the Sub POS (Outlets, the outlet, POS terminals, Edit, Orders & payments).

  • Ticked: the Sub POS has its own Shift button, its own drawer count and may run the day end.
  • Not ticked: no Shift button. It sells only while the Main POS's shift is open, and its cash is counted with the Main POS's drawer.

On the Main POS's Shift screen

The Main POS T01, with T02's cash counted with its drawer, and T03's shift left open here.
  1. Drawer should hold: already includes the cash of every Sub POS counted with this drawer.
  2. Counted with this drawer: shows only on a Main POS with such a Sub POS. Count all the cash boxes together, as one count.
  3. T02 cash: what that Sub POS took, and when it last said so.
  4. T03's shift, opened through this POS: a Sub POS that worked through this Main POS and left its shift open here.
  5. Cash counted in T03's drawer: count that Sub POS's cash box and key the total.
  6. Count and close: closes that Sub POS's shift. Its slip prints on this POS.

On Windows the box of a Sub POS's shift sits at the bottom left of the Shift screen. On Android it is above this POS's own shift.

Close the shift of a Sub POS

  1. On the Main POS, press Shift in the bottom bar.
  2. Find the box T03's shift, opened through this POS.
  3. Count the cash in T03's cash box.
  4. Key it in Cash counted in T03's drawer.
  5. Press Count and close. The screen says T03's shift is closed.

Left open, the shift is closed by the next day end, as not counted.

If something goes wrong

  • T01's shift is not open. Open the shift on T01 to start selling here.: on the Sub POS. Open the shift on the Main POS, and the Sub POS sells again by itself.
  • Main POS not reachable: on the Sub POS. Check that the Main POS is on with FooodPos open, then press Search again.
  • T02 not reachable since 15:40: its cash may be more than shown.: count its cash box anyway, and check.
