"4D POS" is a cross platform, server/client, point-of-sale relational database system, built with the highly acclaimed 4th Dimension family of Database/Web products. It functions on Macintosh and Windows platforms (navigate to "System" for exact requirements), and clients can be mixed - i.e., both Macs and Windows. Efficient, intuitive, logical design results in a shallow learning curve and rapid order entry - employee high turnover rate will be a thing of the past, and employee training is a snap - no prior computer knowledge required. The QuickDrink functionality enables bartenders to handle drinks in large crowd situations - much emphasis has been placed on this in this system. Developed and extensively tested in an actual restaurant/bar environment. Easy installation. Low maintenance. Handles all bar and restaurant customer order needs. 30 days of FREE Email and phone support. Please use the "Contact" button to reach us. Can be customized to meet the unique needs of its end users. Complete On-Site installation, system and network design, etc. (at extra cost). Extensive reporting capabilities (Sales, Revenue, Employee Productivity, Profits, Shift Schedule Optimization, Costs, Item Performance Analysis, and much more). Analyze any day or period, in real time, as it happened, or as it's happening. Every report is available forever because old data is NEVER erased to make room for new data. All Orders are automatically date and time stamped, for reporting purposes. View and report on data every conceivable way. Example: Time Analysis Report - Labor costs will eat away your profits if not managed properly. the Time Analysis Report uses existing sales data to yield a report that shows what the sales volume is during different hours of each day of the week. You generate your employee schedule around when you are most busy and when business is slow. Avoid overstaffing during days and times when you KNOW business will be slow, and make sure adequate staff is available when you KNOW it is going to be busy, instead of guessing... Ability to remote monitor the database system from any computer in the world, in real time (costs extra - not included in prices listed on this website). Ability to assign Supervisors.

Multiple Discount Levels - user configurable - Seniors, Locals, etc; Exact Amount or Percentage; on Item or Entire order. "Repeat Item" functionality. Duplicates single or multiple line items. Server End-of-Shift CashOut - CashOut is prevented until all Orders are properly closed out. Servers/bartenders cash out in minutes, as all factors are taken into account and calculated automatically, including tipouts, totals, gratuities, comps, duebacks, cancels, and house accounts. Also included is a Server Item Sales Synopsis for the shift (e.g., quantity and amount sold for appetizers, entrees, desserts, etc.) so that servers and management can keep tab on sales. Also prints a Server Recap Sheet, which summarizes everything, which makes it a breeze for management to handle the shift cashout. TimeClock via keyboard entry of Employee ID, or card swipe. Payroll - Generates pay stubs from TimeClock data, includes payroll tax, overtime, and tip calculations. All you do is write the checks! Manage Customer Data. The system enables the storage of customer information. That information, including mailing and email addresses, can then be used for marketing purposes. Built-in full featured Word Processor. Create letters which can then be sent to customers. Letters are kept in the database for re-use, and are easily accessible from within the word processor. Database fields (like customer name, etc.) can be merged onto the letters, to create custom and personalized communications. Easy marketing to Customer list from Word Processor via Print Merge and Email Merge. Send Web Pages via email (very powerful marketing tool). From the word processor, you can Email a letter to any selected group of customers. You can also attach a web page to the email, so that the web page actually displays on the email. Any link that the cusomer clicks on the web page in the email opens the customer's browser and takes them directly to the website. This can be used to send an email with YOUR website attached, to draw the customer to your site. Built-in Web Server enables the POS system to serve up one or more websites. Simply place the html files for your website in a special folder (that's all there is to it), and avoid ISP hosting fees.
