- Can I use Gladius restaurant POS software without a touch screen?
Yes. Our restaurant point of sale software is compatible with just a Mouse, Keyboard and regular CRT Monitor.
- Which POS hardware printer do you suggest for printing guest checks?
We recommend the FEC 80T Printer serial Interfaced thermal receipt printer. FEC 80T printers are fast and quiet, and are recommended for busy restaurant software environments. We suggest the serial Interface models, which are easier to setup and maintain. Gladius POS restaurant software also supports parallel printers. (Currently our software will work with almost all brands of Epson emulation printers.)
- Which POS hardware printer do you suggest for printing kitchen & bar checks?
For kitchen & bar printing, we recommend any of the following printers: FEC 80T Ethernet interface. We recommend the Ethernet Interface models, which are easier to setup and maintain. For the kitchen, we suggest to add a melody box so on each order a tone plays for the kitchen staff to hear, a special kitchen thermal paper roll is available as well so it won’t “smudge” as easily with greasy fingers.

You can install your database on one of your POS computers to save on expenses. However, for installations of three or more computers, we recommend that you use a dedicated computer to host the database.
