  • Publication number: 20210272089
    Abstract: A synchronization server for fulfilling orders under non-persistent network conditions includes a terminal update element, a queue processor, and a service area map. The terminal update element receives changes corresponding to one or more orders from one or more POS terminals. The queue processor queues the changes in terminal queues that correspond to the terminals, where the state changes are accessed by the terminal update element and transmitted to a first one of a subset of the terminals, from oldest to youngest, when the first one of the subset of the terminals is operably connected to the network, and where the state changes are maintained in terminal queues corresponding to other ones of the subset while the other ones of the subset remain operably disconnected from the network. The service area map is coupled to the queue processor and associates each of the terminals to one or more service areas, where the subset corresponds to one of the one or more service areas.

  • Patent number: 11074568
    Abstract: A POS terminal includes a state processor, an order processor, communications elements, and a connection monitor. The state processor queues state changes in one or more order queues that correspond to one or more orders in a restaurant. The order processor generates the state changes, and accesses and transmits the state changes to a backend server. The communications elements enable the mobile POS terminal to communicate over both a Wi-Fi network and a White-Fi network within the restaurant, and when operating in a Wi-Fi mode, the mobile POS terminal communicates only over the Wi-Fi network as a selected wireless network, and when operating in a White-Fi mode, the mobile POS terminal communicates only over the White-Fi network as the selected wireless network. The connection monitor determines that connectivity over the Wi-Fi network is degraded, and directs the communications elements to operate in the White-Fi mode.
