1, the development platform and database:
Desirable is the SQL database (ORACLE), rather than ACCESS
Development tools are poorer is the VB, some of the better into the PB, C++BUIDER.....
2, software features
Catering industry focus on the front cash register, the front function is fast, flexible and good
Background into the analysis of more than the inventory, belonging to the supermarket version of the revamped, flashy
3, the kitchen printer
Foreign and Hong Kong and Taiwan's catering software, the kitchen hit the serial port is the main, never lose a single
Domestic software to the network interface-based
Domestic software to the network port is the main
So the customer to choose the software, the kitchen hit as the most important assessment. With wireless ordering, 100% of the kitchen will hit. Then there can only be two choices, one is the PC as a printer server + serial kitchen hit the way, the second is the software company's own development of the printer server. All generic printer servers and printers with network port, all unavailable!
4, wireless ordering device
One is the IC card type, Chen Sen software, trouble, investment
Two infrared type, Shanghai Gongli's best, the transmission distance of 6 meters. To lay multiple receiving points, also bad
Three kinds of PDA (Pocket PC), only DELL and hp can be used, plane distance 100 meters, can not penetrate the wall, standby time is short, expensive. Good looking but not practical
Four kinds of radio technology (433's), Taiyuan Boli's is more mature, cheaper, standby time is long, can penetrate the concrete wall, long distance.
5, localized services
Since it is a computer system, it can not be separated from the service provider's services. Operating systems, databases, local area networks (LANs), computer hardware, these services are inseparable from the service provider's localized services.
So while it is important to buy software with features, you have to choose between features and a local service provider. You should choose the local seller, not the software. Restaurant software, also known as database software, is a product that cannot be purchased off-site ！！！！
6, if it is a single store single table form of catering, should be used without xp and database, without the need to install and maintain the catering electronic cash register, such as not a computer
7, if it is a fast-food, you should use a touch-screen cash register, touch-screen cash registers are also divided into two kinds of, one, pc touch-screen + database software, the second generation of fourth-generation embedded touch-screen cash registers
I do not On behalf of any of the catering software and wireless ordering treasure, I just have 18 years of experience in the industry, to tell customers that I summarize the identification method. May stimulate the interests of some people, but do not blame me, or from their own problems to solve it!!!!
