Drive-Thru Operation

 

 

Description

 

Orders are automatically sent to the KVS. Orders can be retrieved and paid for at the Cashier SwiftPOS Touch terminal.

When setting up a multiple KVS site, all SwiftPOS Touch terminals need to have the peripherals setup in the settings menu.

 

Here is an example on how to set up a typical drive thru situation with multiple KVS systems

  4. Any additional items are added to the order and the customer pays and gets their order.

  6. Normal Sales are taken from the front counter service and are compiled by the 1st KVS screen.
