Abstract: A method for determining dispatch assignments of delivery orders by a point of sale (POS) device of a storefront is described. A plurality of delivery orders for the storefront are received by the POS device. The POS device determines an estimate of an order efficiency value for the storefront based on the plurality of delivery orders and a delivery employee pool corresponding to the storefront. The POS device automatically determines a dispatch assignment of one or more delivery orders for the storefront to one of i) an employee of the delivery employee pool, or ii) a contractor of an independent contractor pool, based on whether the order efficiency value meets a predetermined service threshold.

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.
