About
PhoneOrder is a order-desk/point-of-sale project targetting the catering sector. The early development is starting with a simple task to make it immediately useful and usable: Support users to pickup and manage orders by phone, printing the bills and order instructions and manage a customer database. This is very simple yet and not very point-of-sale like. But future improvements are planned:
- Scriptable discount definitions to automatically calculate daily discounts
- CTI integration by recognizing callers with CAPI
- User logins and password locking
- Cash register and multiple printers support
- Mobile order pad support to easily serve tables in a restaurant
- Terminal client support by interfacing with the DB or using remote screens
- Multi-client support to support owners of more than one restaurant to use phone call redirection
- Store sensible data like credit cards data encrypted
- Accounting and bookkeeping
PhoneOrder should be runnable on any platform, as long as it is supported by Trolltech’s Qt.
PhoneOrder currently uses Qt3 to display it’s interface and should be thus portable to other OSes like Windows or whatever is supported by Qt3. It will be changed to Qt4 soon to support Windows by using GPL instead of commercial Qt3.
