Introduction SambaPOS can work in three database modes. Demo mode, single user mode and multi user mode. Demo Mode You don’t need to install a database software just to evaluate SambaPOS. SambaPOS can work with a TXT file to let you understand basic SambaPOS functions. Some features might not work properly in demo mode so if you want…

SambaPOS Server, Workstation & RDP Setup Guide

This guide I wrote a while ago is based on SambaPOS V3.0.24, but is applicable to V4. It is still in draft, but covers Server setup Terminal setup RDP setup Printer setup SambaPOS Server Setup Guide (DRAFT) v2.pdf (5.1 MB)

Step by step on how to Configure multiple concurrent RDP clients to run SambaPOS (IPHONE ,IPAD, Galaxy tablet)

Perhaps there is something I am missing here. We have installed the patch. We have RDP into the main computer. We are using a Nexus 7 pad as a 2nd device. When we sign on to SambaPOS, we get a separate instance of it and are not able to share the same database. Are we supposed to configure terminals for each device? Thanks.

@kasharif
Thanks a lot kamal ! i have kind of figured out … still setting up but it helped a lot.
now i am stuck at inventory listings … how to enter inventory and its basic values.
also i am looking at a solution that can perhaps help me display orders placed by waiters to kitchen and bar
example . waiter takes order for burger / salad / coke and a beer … i want the burger and salad to be displayed in kitchen and the coke and beer to be displayed in bar. and also when the orders are ready the invidual who took the order be notified for the same.
are these things possible in sambapos ?

Thank you in advance kamal !
