Overview
To set up a new POS Device, go to Venue Manager > Apps > Point of Sale.
There are two options for creating POS devices:
- Create a POS device from a template - This allows you to configure multiple devices at once and ensures consistency across your devices. We highly recommend this option, reach this guide to see how to set up your POS templates.
- Create a standard POS device - This allows you to configure your POS devices individually. Standard POS devices can't be attached to a template at a later date.

• Add in a starting Till float (optional)
