Smart Customization

Item Modifiers, Cooking Options & Add-on Selector

Never miss an order detail. When cashiers click on customizable menu items, POS Awesome launches an intuitive modifier dialog handling temperature, preparation notes, sauces, and paid extras.

Modifier Engine

Enforced Modifier Rules & Dynamic Pricing

Configure single-choice required modifiers (e.g., Doneness: Rare, Medium, Well Done) alongside multi-select optional add-ons (Extra Cheese, Jalapeños, Truffle Sauce).

  • ✓ Mandatory vs. Optional: Cashier cannot add item until mandatory kitchen choices are satisfied, preventing chef re-queries.
  • ✓ Incremental Pricing: Add-ons automatically recalculate line item totals and apply tax rules transparently.
  • ✓ Kitchen Routing Tags: Modifiers print prominently in bold/red under the item name on Epson kitchen order tickets (KOT).
  • ✓ Freeform Notes: Support for special allergy or guest preference instructions passed directly to station chits.

Guest Check Flow

Direct ESC/POS Bill Dispatch via F7 or Touch Button

Unlike standard retail point-of-sale apps that force full payment before printing, our Epson Middleware hook adds a dedicated "Print with Epson" button and F7 / Alt+P keyboard shortcut.

  • ✓ 100% Cart Preservation: Draft invoice is saved and printed instantaneously without clearing items or reloading the UI.
  • ✓ Bypasses Browser Dialogs: Direct raw TCP socket print over LAN to the designated cashier Epson TM-T20 / TM-T88 printer.
  • ✓ Itemized Modifiers: Add-ons (e.g. Extra Cheese) render nested under primary parent dishes on physical receipts.
  • ✓ Sub-Second Execution: Asynchronous server handshake sends ESC/POS payload to the thermal printer in under 90 milliseconds.

Manage Epson TM-m30, TM-T88VI, TM-T20III, and U220 impact kitchen printers directly through the centralized Epson Printer DocType registry.

Smart Order Fan-Out

Station Print Routing & Differential Round Dispatch

Split tickets with zero human intervention. When a cashier submits an order containing appetizers, hot mains, cold drinks, and desserts, Epson Middleware automatically routes items to their respective production stations.

Station Fan-Out

Item Group Station Mapping & Differential Rounds

Kitchen order chits (KOT) print with large readable fonts, station header tags, server names, table IDs, and timestamps.

  • ✓ Category-to-Station Matrix: Map "Hot Dishes" to Grill, "Sushi" to Cold Bar, "Cocktails" to Bar, and "Sweets" to Pastry.
  • ✓ Differential Round Printing: Adding an extra round of drinks only prints the newly added items—never reprinting previous rounds.
  • ✓ Buzzer & Red-Black Print: Trigger internal audible buzzers on impact printers and highlight order modifications in red ink.
  • ✓ Failover Printer Fallback: If a station printer runs out of paper or goes offline, print jobs redirect to the backup cashier printer.

Financial Rigor

Cashier Order Auditing & POS Shift Closing

End-of-day register balancing without discrepancies. Full ledger tracing of every cash tender, credit card slip, drawer kick event, and shift closing entry with instant thermal Z-report generation.

Register Auditing

Electronic Cash Drawer Kick & Z-Report Audits

Automate cash control. The printer’s RJ11 DK port fires a 24V pulse to release the cash drawer upon cash tender submission or via manual supervisor hotkey (F9 / Alt+D).

  • ✓ Cash Tender Auto-Kick: Drawer kicks open only when valid cash payment is registered, preventing unauthorized drawer access.
  • ✓ Manual Kick Audit Logging: Emergency drawer openings record cashier ID, timestamp, and audit justification in Frappe logs.
  • ✓ Blind Cash Drop Closing: Cashiers enter physical currency counts at shift end; system highlights overages or shortages immediately.
  • ✓ Thermal Z-Report: Instant receipt printout summarizing gross sales, net taxes, discounts, tender breakdowns, and void counts.

Engineered For Reliability

Hardware-Native Architecture Highlights

Built from the ground up to eliminate single points of failure in mission-critical retail and restaurant checkout environments.

🖨

Raw TCP Socket ESC/POS

Bypasses Windows/macOS print spoolers and OS dialog boxes. Delivers binary ESC/POS formatting directly over TCP port 9100 with sub-100ms print head response.

💵

Dual-Pin 24V Drawer Kick

Electronic drawer solenoid triggers via printer DK port pin 2 and pin 5. Supports dual independent cash drawers for multi-cashier shift stations.

🔄

Differential Round KOTs

Multi-round dining intelligence. When guests order additional rounds of drinks or dessert, station chits print strictly the delta items to avoid double cooking.

💻

Dual-Monitor Customer Display

Native /pos-menu-display route with HTML5 BroadcastChannel synchronization. Displays real-time cart updates, totals, and promotional banners to guests.

🔗

Offline Outbox Resilience

IndexedDB local storage buffers invoices when network drops occur. Invoices queue locally and sync back into ERPNext ledger immediately upon reconnection.

⚖

Direct General Ledger Posting

No external sync connectors or batch exports. Every checkout immediately debits Cash/Receivables, credits Sales Revenue, and depletes real-time inventory balances.
