In this article we will cover the main features and layout of the new Point of Sale.
Profiles and Screens are covered in the Initial Setup article.
Once you have profiles, screens, and buttons configured, your Point of Sale should look something like this before you initiate an order.

You will notice a change to the navigation bar when you open the new Point of Sale.
This new navigation bar contains an order search.
Clicking on the search will reveal a list of all Point of Sale orders recently opened by the user account to which you are currently logged in at your facility.
You may search by order number, customer name (if one was assigned), or by the last four digits of a credit card if a card was used to process a payment on the order you are looking for.
The color coding indicates the order status.
