Abstract: Systems and methods for processing multiple point-of-sale (POS) transactions include receiving, at a first window of a user interface, a first input of payment information associated with a first item of a first POS transaction and presenting, at a second window of the user interface, a status of the first POS transaction. The POS system then may receive, at the first window and concurrently with presentation of the status at the second window, a second input associated with a second POS transaction, where the first window is associated with the second transaction and the second window is associated with the first transaction. The POS system may receive a notification of a confirmed payment of the second POS transaction prior to a resolution of the first POS transaction.

Abstract: A point-of-sale system for concurrently processing multiple point of sale transactions, each point of sale transaction including an item input portion and a payment portion of the transaction, each portion performed in series. The point-of-sale system comprises a customer facing terminal and a merchant facing terminal. The system can comprise a plurality of customer facing terminals and can be portable. The customer facing terminal is configured to receive an input of payment information for a first point of sale transaction during a payment portion of the first point of sale transaction. The merchant facing terminal is configured to receive an input of an item selection for a second point of sale transaction during an item input portion of the second point of sale transaction and during the payment portion of the first point of sale transaction.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for enabling more efficient tipping by providing a merchant the ability to reduce the time used on manually entering tip amounts. In one embodiment, a method includes automatically generating, by a point-of-sale (POS) system, a transaction receipt that indicates a plurality of selectable tip options, wherein said automatically generating the transaction receipt is based on one or more rules specified by a user of the POS system. The method further includes causing the transaction receipt to be printed as a printed receipt. The method further includes identifying, by the POS system, a one of the plurality of selectable tip options specified by a customer on the printed receipt. Among other benefits, the disclosed techniques reduce the time and effort the merchant needs to spend on collating the tipping at end of the business day.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a system is described that includes one or more management servers comprising instructions operable when executed to present a user interface displayable at a remote host computer, the user interface enabling a user at the remote host computer to input management information for managing a mobile device; receive the management information input by the user; update configuration information in a configuration database for the mobile device based on the management information; and send the configuration information to the mobile device for configuring the mobile device. In particular embodiments, the instructions are further operable when executed to access one or more third party servers; pull third party information from the third party servers; aggregate and reconcile the pulled third party information with the configuration information stored in the configuration information database; and store the reconciled configuration information in the configuration information database.
