POS
Opening a restaurant can be one of the most daunting challenges an entrepreneur can take on. The sheer mountain of equipment to shop and acquire These days, a restaurant's point of sale system (POS) is almost as important as the fridge and oven. The question is no longer, 'should a restaurant have a point of sale system' but, 'what kind of point of sale system should my restaurant have'?

As a restaurant computer consultant, I've found that there is a lot of confusion from new restaurant owners on what kind of system to invest in. To summarize the answers to some of the most common questions that I get at our website – http://www.cookcomputers.com/ . Here are 4 considerations you should look at before choosing a point of sale (POS) system.

Management features :

A restaurant with a POS system logically performs every transaction on that POS system. So more than making a restaurant run more smoothly, a good POS system can provide data that an owner can use to find ways to improve and be more profitable.

A good POS application can even help a restaurant owner market his business. For instance some POS systems can generate mailing lists of customers, email lists of customers and have loyalty rewards and gift card programs. Even more practically, some point of sale applications have fast audit and anti theft measures built in helping curb employee dishonesty. Whether or not you go with a system that has anti-theft features, any POS system that you look at should track employee hours and function as their time clock weather with their own employee code or with a magnetic swipe card.
A system should be configured by a supplier for the work flow that the restaurant has. A restaurant with a sushi bar for example might need some order tickets routed to the sushi chef and some orders routed to the kitchen. Furthermore, a fast service place with a drive through should have the ability to run a video kitchen display with bump bar whereas a coffee house on the corner may only need to be able to ring up items quickly and accurately but needs little else. A one size fits all system probably won't be an exact fit for anyone. So look for a provider that can customize hardware and software for your needs.

}


when confronted with a quite similar problem, i remembered FIT as a valuable tool for testing different 'input' combinations, coming up with a little TestCase extension that behaves like FITs ColumnFixture but only in the context of JUnit.

You may want to take a look for an example as well as the extended TestCase at
