Windows Phone 7 Point of Sale
DigiWaiter Phone 7 POS for restaurants and bars. Take an order with your Windows phone and send them to the kitchen server!
Select your table, click a category (e.g. drinks, entrees, desserts) select an item (e.g. steak, beer) and a quantity and click send.
DigiWaiter POS started out in 2005 and was a bundle of 3 programs written in VB.NET
- DigiWaiter Server
- DigiWaiter Desktop Client (XP / Vista / Windows7)
- DigiWaiter PDA Client (PocketPC 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6.0)
After a couple of years interest in the software decreased and development froze.
But Windowsphone7 and especially the Mango update brought new life to the project and I started developing a POS client in WP7 which would connect to the 'old' POS server.
The roadmap I've set is now:
1 Launch the DigiWaiter POS Windows Phone 7 Client on the micorosoft marketplace
2 Collect feedback and bug reports for WP7 Client 1.0
3 Release a 1.1 version of the WP7 Client
4 Develop a new 2012 version of the DigiWaiter POS server with a.o:
- Microsoft reporting reports (instead of Crystal Reports)
- SQL database engine (instead of Access)
5 Android DigiWaiter POS
