Setting up a Tablet for Use on the Beverage Cart (Full Point of Sale)
This is the case where the Tablet is using cellular to get back to a computer/workstation at the clubhouse.
For use on the Beverage Cart, there are 3 options:
- A dedicated machine in the clubhouse that can be used for the Beverage Cart.
- If the club has a Windows 10/11 machine as the server that is not used as a POS client or as a desktop for other business use (e.g. accounting) at the club.
- If your club has a Server Class machine as their server, they should be able to configure a remote desktop session to this machine.
Install the POS client with name C:\Program Files\TeeOn\PointOfSaleBeverageCart. Optionally, just use the client that may already be configured on this Computer.
Install and configure Splashtop Business on the Tablet:
- Set up a Splashtop Business Account
- Download the Splashtop Business App from the App Store on the iPad & Google Play Store on Android Tablets.
- Open the App and configure.
- Install Splashtop Streamer on the Computer with the POS Client you will connect to and register the Computer.
You are ready to use the POS:
- Open the Splashtop Business App
- Click on the desktop you configured. It will auto logon.
- You should see the icon for the POS that this tablet should be using.
- Double Click it to open.
Notes:
- This solution does not currently have the ability to integrate with payment terminals.
- This solution does not provide the ability to print receipts from the Tablet. The POS already provides the ability to email receipts which can be used when a customer requests a receipt.
- This solution makes it pretty simple to swap Tablets in and out with very little setup. All the POS client and printer setup is done on a Windows computer, is done once and does not have to be redone when replacing a tablet.
- Alternatives to this setup
- Configure VPN into the clubhouse and connect the tablet through the VPN connection. Use the instructions for setting up a tablet in the restaurant. This is more complicated to setup and requires an IT company.
