You are a consultant who has been hired to design a
point-of-sales (POS) system for a restaurant that
accepts cash and credit cards. The restaurant also
issues coupons through local newspapers, which it
accepts as cash from customers.
The system will employ computer terminals with
cash drawers that are connected to a central
computer. Servers take orders and receive payments
from customers. At the end of the shift, servers
reconcile their cash drawers with the manager. The
system automatically updates the journals and
General Ledger accounts.
