Mobile Workstation Settings

Mobile POS workstations require some specific settings in Point of Sale Control > Workstation > Options.

Access Workstation Options

Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)

Start the Point of Sale Control module.

Click on the Workstation menu and select the Options... option.

The list of available workstations will be displayed. Select the workstation for which will be used as a Mobile POS and click the Modify button.

The workstation's properties open on the Workstation branch.

Since Mobile devices can't print on their own, set all Outputs and Receipt printouts to NULL.

In the Devices tab, make sure there are no devices setup. The device list should be empty.

Click on the Advanced tab.

Operating system

From the drop-down list, select the Mobile POS app option.

Dark Mode

Enable this option to use this mobile POS with the Dark user interface. If this option is disabled, this mobile POS will use the Light user interface.

NOTE: Contrary to the Advanced User Interface (HTML POS), there is no toggle switch to change between Dark mode and Light mode on the Mobile POS app. This change can only be made from the Maitre'D Back-Office.

Reset Token

When the Mobile POS application connects to the Maitre'D Back-Office for the first time, a token is created to speed up subsequent connections. If you experience connection issues, resetting the token will delete the current connection token and force a new one to be created. This should resolve any authentication issues.

Once this mobile POS is configured, click OK to save changes and return to the list of workstations.
Repeat this process for all Mobile POS workstations.
