    Squirrel 3.2 Help cashout information

    New POS Help

    We use Infinity POS within our liquor store. It has been very stable and quite easy to use thus far. I'm not sure if it would be useful in the bar portion or not....I'm thinking it won't.

    Squirrel 4.0 problem

    Can you make sure you are doing a normal shutdown at the end of the business day. You should see the day save and then a program called "dataconvert" should run, converting your sales data into the SQL reporting database. If you don't see the dataconvert program running at shutdown (possibly...

    Having problems with old school Squirrel

    The workstation that does not work: - does it say "loading program page 0" on it and just stay there? - Is it highlighted on the Host Processor Log Screen after you start POS? I know you probably have done this many time -- but can you re-check the connections at the workstation side. Make...

    Catching Bar Scams

    One scam I saw in a hotel was a bartender would stop at the liquor store on their way into work and buy a bottle of rum -- selling drinks out of their "own" bottle all night for cash -- pocketing it. This didn't appear on inventory as it was their own bottle. We implemented a sticker system...

    Squirrel POS

    Your Squirrel Host PC (POS Server) is full of sales data that needs to be backed up & removed. Buy a box of floppy disks and "mark" them all for backup by going into Housekeeping>Backup & Restore>Mark Backup. This puts a tiny file on the floppy disks to indicate that they are squirrel backup...

    squirrel compatible receipt printers

    out of balance was probably caused by a price change on an item after it has already been sold before the price change You would need to examine/adjust this servers checks in Cashout & Revenue and find the cheque that is out of balance -- then correct it. Then you correct their cashout in...

    Squirrel Classic 3.2 Help

    If this doesn't work -- then you can rename the CACHE.DAT and CACHE.IDX files in the Squirrel\BIN directory to *.OLD (moving them out of the way without deleting them)-- then do the same steps as above (running dealer & config), and try to start POS.

    Squirrel SQ-2066 Workstation

    I should add -- if it's a Classic Workstation -- it is compatbile with all versions of classic squirrel. The only thing that would make it not work is if you used 232 protocol and it was a 422 workstation (visa versa)....

    Squirrel SQ-2066 Workstation

    Can you give me the workstation name -- like WS V or WS III? If you turn on the workstation and you get the screen "Loading Program Page 0" then it's a Squirrel Classic workstation that can be jumpered to use 232 or 422 serial communication. If you turn the workstation on and you get...

    Squirrel cashout problem (transaction file error)

    FCASHOUT.EXE is a datafix utility that only squirrel has to my knowledge. Do you have a split day (2 prefixes) or did you just save the day twice? You could have a look at both prefixes -- the bad cashout may only be effecting one of the prefixes and if it's not a split day, just change day...

    Squirrel colour vs black and white terminals

    can you provide some details on "unstable" when you use this workstation? Is it the workstation that is unstable when used or the entire system? The B&W and Colour workstations are interchangable -- there should be no impact, to my knoweldge, in system performance/issues.

    POS for a cafe/tea shop with ecommerce

    If I were you I'd look into the Microsoft Retail Management packages -- I believe they have an eCommerce piece which would probably be pretty good.

    POS system recomendations

    I have SquirrelONE in my restaurant and was given the option to use SurePOS workstations from IBM -- so I think it's not as proprietary as people think. I also did a demo on their POS manager product before my purchase -- this product allows you to have 1 central database where all the...

    remove employees from squirrel TIPS

    I believe the employees will not stop appearing on the Tip Allocation report until you perform a EOP. This would make sense, because even if you generate the allocation report for current period versus to date, employees that don't even work that period appear with blank $ values. I believe...
