US 2017/0344971 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A HIGH AVAILABILITY CLOUD ENABLED POINT OF SALE SYSTEM

Abstract

A method implemented on a client device for displaying pricing information is described, for example, in a restaurant system having “bundle” pricing when purchasing predetermined groups of items. The client device can determine and display pricing information, even when a communication connection to a server is unavailable. A graphical user interface configured for sales transactions is generated. First order information for a first sales transaction is received via the graphical user interface and first pricing information for the first sales transaction is obtained from, and generated by, a remotely located server device using server pricing information. Second order information for a second sales transaction is received. Second pricing information for the second sales transaction is determined by the client device, including generating the second pricing information based on client pricing information located locally to the client device. Pricing information is displayed by the client device via the graphical user interface.
