What is the POS Manager Module?

POS Manager is a module within POS (via the Tools menu) that allows a POS operator (aka POS user) to manage certain features directly in POS rather than having to use Touch Admin.



At this time, POS Manager allows access to the following:

• Product management
• Modifier prompts
• Table management
• POS operators
• Closing the Day
• Schedules and Services
• POS Dashboard

Giving a POS Operator Access to the POS Manager Module

For a POS operator to access POS Manager, that POS operator must first have a Touch Admin user profile (to create a Touch Admin user profile, see Creating a New User for the Touch Admin Software of an Account). 

You then assign that Touch Admin user profile to the POS operator profile. To do so, complete the following steps: 

1. In Touch Admin, click POS Settings > Operators. The POS Operators screen appears.
2. Click the Edit button of the POS operator for whom you want to provide access to POS Manager. The screen refreshes with the operator settings. 
3. Scroll to to the bottom of the screen to locate the Associated User for POS Manager Tools drop-down. 
   
   
    
4. From the drop-down, select the operator's Touch Admin user profile.
5. Click Save to apply your changes. 
6. When the POS operator logs into POS, the POS Manager module will be available from the Tools menu, as per screenshot below. 
   
   

For MealSuite Support: Enable Permissions for the POS Manager Module

Certain features that are offered in the front-end POS Manager module are determined by the permissions profile assigned to the Touch Admin user profile that in turn is assigned to the front-end POS operator through their account. 

If you are MealSuite Support, see Managing Permissions for the Front-End POS Manager Module (INTERNAL).

For MealSuite Support: Configuring a Self-Service Kiosk (SSK) to Allow Access to POS Manager Module

The means for an SSK to allow access to the POS Manager module is via the POS operator profile that is selected in the What POS Operator should transactions for the kiosk be registered under? field in the Self Service Kiosk Configuration section of a POS location (screenshot below). 
 

Because the purpose of that field is to indicate that an order is coming from the SSK (screenshot below), a POS operator name such as "SSK Order" or "Order from SSK" is created and entered in the field. 

Therefore, you must assign that "SSK Order" POS operator profile a Touch Admin user profile. See Creating a New User for the Touch Admin Software of an Account. 

 

A user can then use the "SSK Order" POS operator profile to login to the SSK, and the POS Manager module will be available. 

Note that for an SSK station, a POS operator accesses the Tools menu (where the POS Manager Module is accessed) by tapping the Powered by MealSuite image five times (first screenshot below), and then entering their operator ID.
