The Freebees app can operate in a fully integrated environment with either Maitre'D or Veloce as the POS solution. Select the POS you are working with for details on how to use Freebees gift cards with that system:
When working in a Maitre'D environment, the POS and payment terminal communicate automatically, ensuring that there is no input error for the total amount. When Maitre'D communicates the purchase amount to the terminal, the terminal uses the SecurePay or SecureTable application to display the sale amount and, when a gift card is identified as the payment method, it will automatically switch to the Freebees app.
IMPORTANT! The procedure described below is for a purchase (redemption) using a gift card. Any other transaction using a gift card must be processed using the Freebees application in standalone mode.
