Product Information


The Forza POS package is a sophisticated 15" touch screen POS system suited for cafes, restaurants, takeaways, bars and pubs. The system is quick to set-up , fast and very easy to operate, with a full range of restaurant and takeaway functions and reporting.

No Monthly or Annual License Fees
The Permanent License for the SamTouch POS software means there are no ongoing fees to pay each month or each year. You buy the whole retail POS system outright as a package. There are no product limits or sales capacity limits or feature restrictions.

You do not require internet access to use the system or reliance on any web server - everything is locally stored on your POS terminal for fastest operation and you can backup to USB media or to your own cloud storage account.



No Internet Required
The system is very fast and secure as it is not a cloud-based system. The POS software app and your data are all stored locally on the POS hardware. Only if you use Integrated Card Payment Processing, the optional Cloud Back Office app and related modules would you require internet just for those features.

Benefits of an Installed System over a Cloud System
With an installed POS system the program application and database are all installed locally on your POS terminal(s). This results in much faster processing time, greater staff productivity, allowing you to serve your customers faster and minimise waiting times during busy periods at your store. There is no reliance on outside web servers, no reliance on internet connectivity, no dependence on internet reliability, signal strength or connection speeds. Furthermore, there is no need to keep paying monthly or annual software fees to use the system. The SamTouch POS software has a lifetime permanent license.

With an installed system, there is no unexpected down-time due to server maintenance or cloud app upgrades. Your POS program and business data are all physically stored at your premises, on your POS equipment, available 24/7 365 days a year, 100% under your control at all times.

The standard Forza POS package includes the Sam4s-branded 15" touchscreen terminal, a high-capacity cash drawer, a fast thermal receipt printer and comprehensive hospitality POS Software to give you a complete business solution.

No Internet Connection Needed - No Monthly / Annual Usage Fees to ever pay. You simply pay once and buy the system outright.

You can optionally add additional Kitchen Printers, Wireless Waiter Tablets or PDA's, and a Kitchen Monitor System. With the SamTouch pos software there are also optional apps for online food ordering, telephone caller ID and customer database for efficiently taking telephone delivery orders, and a loyalty points module that can be used with custom-printed plastic cards. A Self-Service Touchscreen Kiosk with card payment will also be available soon.

SAMPLE SCREEN SHOTS


USER-FRIENDLY SCREENS
Clear colour co-ordinated screens allow the operator to easily choose the required menu items. There is no limit to the number of screens. Navigation is easy with the menu structure. Staff access can be controlled to managerial and reporting screens.

As the POS software and database are all held local on your terminal, it is much faster than cloud-based systems which rely on internet connectivity and the provider's website availability and they are therefore much slower. The installed system gives you speed, reliability and 100% control over your POS system and data, without relying on outside parties and without the need to make ongoing payments to any cloud system provider.




LIVE STOCK LEVELS
The 'Count Down' feature allows you to see how many of each item is available, with a trigger level to prompt further cooking / ordering. For example, you may have 8 doughnuts - as each one is sold, the button shows how many are left. If you have set a trigger level, then it will prompt you to prepare more. With networked systems with multiple terminals, each terminal is updated in real-time.




POP-UPS FOR OPTIONS
Pop-up Windows allow selection of optional extras for condiments, sauces and sides. These can include a Price addition too. These can also be used for Salad options, Bread types (white / brown / baguette etc), Cooking (Rare / Medium / Well Done), as well as 'No' instructions (eg. No Onions). A Free-Text feature also allows specific instructions to be typed on the touch screen for kitchen tickets.




CONTROL THE SCREEN LAYOUTS
Each screen can have upto 80 single buttons or these can be re-sized to double, quad-size or custom size buttons. Buttons can be coloured as required, with the desired font and font size. Images may be placed on custom screen buttons if required such as brand logos or food/drink product images.




UPSELL EXTRAS FOR ADDITIONAL SALES REVENUE
Where an item has an optional item, a simple Popup Window allows the operator to choose. This makes it clear for the kitchen chef, avoids mistakes and allows you to upsell extras for additional sales revenue.




REDUCE MISTAKES & KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY
Where you have a mixed dish or choices, such as salads, toppings, sauces then you can choose from a list of "With", "Extra" or "No". For exmple, With Chilli Sauce, Extra Chilli Sauce, or No Chilli Sauce.




SCREEN EDITOR
The Screen Editor gives you total control over your system layout and buttons. You can have an unlimited number of screens, and position required menus, products, sizes, pictures and special functions as required.




STAFF CONTROLS AND SECURITY LEVELS

If the Clock In / Out module is set, you can specify if the employee is required to use the system timekeeping to record their working hours.




TAX / VAT RATES
The system supports upto 10 different VAT rates, so you can specify the required VAT Rate (20%, Zero, 5% etc) for each product. If you have multiple VAT rates for different transaction types (eg. Eat In / Take Away) then the VAT Shift function allows the calculations to be automated. If you have split items (eg. Hot and Cold food in the same takeaway box), then the Product Link function allows split VAT rates to be applied automatically.




PROMOTIONS & SPECIAL OFFERS
A powerful Promotions module allows your special offer pricing to be automated, and it can be scheduled to apply for particular date periods, days of the week or set hours. (eg. Thursdays 5-7pm only, or Weekends only, or Mon-Thu 12noon-2pm only and so on). You can have Fixed Price offers, Cheapest Free, Buy X for £Y and volume discounts.




STAFF MESSAGE BOARD
The Message Board can be placed on the login screen for all your staff to see. It can include multiple messages in text or graphic format such as information for 'Todays Specials', reminders for daily tasks and motivational messages. If your screen is customer facing, you can also include multiple photographs and promotional items on the screen.




REPORTS

Staff activity reports, Promotions reports. Customer activity reports. Gross Profit reports. Each report can be required for the required date / date period. Data can be stored on the system for upto 9999 days (or less if you define otherwise).




PRODUCT GROUPS
Products are neatly structured into Product Groups which allows the dynamic screens to be automatically updated and your reports automatically structured. You can add additional groups as required. Groups in turned are placed into higher level 'Classifications' such as Food (Dry Sales), Drinks (Wet Sales), Retail Items and so on. Reports can be produced at the Classification level, Group level, or individual Product level.




PRODUCT EDITOR
Instantly update prices, add new products, activate / de-activate products as and when required in a matter of seconds with the Product Editor. It lists all products and the group can be filtered to a certain Product Group or you can use the text search feature to quickly locate the required product(s).






GRAPHICAL TABLE PLAN
Multiple zones can be set up such as Bar area, Restaurant, Rear Garden, Balcony and you can position your tables in the required shape and size to emulate the actual layout of your premises. The system instantly shows the status of active tables and you can readily see vacant tables. Where there are shared tables, the system allows multiple bills to be maintained. Bills can also be transferred from one table to another table if a customer is relocated to a different table. If you operate a hotel, then bar / restaurant bills can also be transferred to a hotel room. Function rooms (eg. for weddings / parties) can also be operated and the system allows different price level if required, supports advance payment/deposit, and also allow stubs with a signature line to be printed.
