Unlike other systems, our cashier closure does not require an opening, so once the day or shift is over, the cashier must be closed.

We go to Closing box and then click on Close box. In this window you will have to enter the amount that you counted at the beginning and each of the currencies and bills for you to make the sum in the final amount. You can also enter the final amount directly if you prefer to do it faster.

If we look at the following example, we have placed 2 $50 bills, which would make a total of $100, but as we have placed, we have started with $50. The result total is $50 (100-50=50).

Then we can check if the printer prints a Windows test page, to do this follow these steps:
1. From Windows we look for the Printers and scanners option.
2. Next we look for the printer that is not working. We click on it and then on Manage.
3. Here we will press the option to Print Windows test page.

In the event that the printer does not print a Windows test ticket, we advise you to restart the computer and the printer. If the problem persists, contact the supplier provided by the printer.

If the printer prints a Windows test page, but does not print in Foodeo, we must check that in the printer section, the printer has the same name as in Windows. And that it is assigned to the desired categories and areas.

Most app-related issues are resolved by closing the app and logging back in. We recommend that you first update the app from Google Play or App Store.

Before contracting the software

It is not easy to find a POS for hospitality in a physical place, since these devices are not for all the public, so you will have to look for a specialized hospitality hardware store.

If you don't want to bother looking for a physical store, you can place the order through an online store such as Foodeo, The advantage of an online store is that the prices are usually more reasonable and that the order arrives directly at your home or restaurant.

Our POS terminals come with Windows 10 pre-installed, in a few minutes you can start working with your hospitality program.

If you are thinking of buying a printer, surely you have considered what type of printer to buy. There are different types of printers on the market. such as WIFI, Ethernet or USB printers, there are also printers that print the ticket with different sizes, among all of these, We recommend the WIFI and USB or NETWORK printers with an 80mm ticket and a speed of 200mm/s.

The main difference between a WIFI printer and a USB or NETWORK printer is that you can use the WIFI printer remotely without installing cables, as long as there is WIFI coverage.

This allows you to be more mobile and place it wherever you want, also if you need a printer at the bar and another in the kitchen, sometimes the easiest thing to do is set up a WIFI printer in kitchen.

The other difference is the price, WIFI printers have a slightly higher price than USB printers. If you are not sure which one to choose, The best thing would be to acquire a WIFI printer, since these also allow you to connect them via USB.

The advantage of a USB or NETWORK printer is that it is easier to install and less prone to errors, since there is no need for WIFI coverage.
