Store Record

The Store Record is the first screen you will access in the POS Administrator menu. The Store Record must be set up before you can set up anything else in POS.

IMPORTANT!  Read this before you do anything...
  • Make sure you have set up the new company/store in System Administrator (or System Maintenance.) Company 01 already exists, but you might want to change the company name. Note: all company codes must have two digits (01, 02, etc.)
  • Make sure you have a User ID set up for the new company or store. This must be done in two places: System Administrator (or System Maintenance) and POS Administrator.
  • Set up the User IDs for the new company from the company you already have access to. To set up a user for all companies/stores, enter ** in the "company no." field.

 

Store Record Warning

 

When accessing the Store Record, you will see the following message: Accessing the Store Record with active POS Terminals may cause problems. Are you SURE you want to continue?



DO NOT access the Store Record during business hours at your restaurant, bar, or store while checks are open or while the system is being used. Wait until everyone has closed all checks and logged out of Execu/Touch. (If you are setting up your store for the first time, it will not matter.)

 

Answer Yes to open the Store Record and continue.
