The Main Back-Office desktop is the starting point for all tasks that can be carried out at the Veloce Back-Office PC. It gives you access to all the Veloce modules as well as tools to manage your license options and Back-Office users.
NOTE: The screenshot above displays all available modules. Modules that are not included with your license will not be displayed, so your own Veloce Back-Office desktop may look slightly different.
Below is a short description of every module and option that can appear on the Veloce Main Back-Office Desktop. For more information on a specific module, please consult the documentation specific to that module.
Point of Sales Control is a core module that is included with every Veloce license. It allows restaurants to manage day-to-day operations from one central location. This is also where most of the menu programming is done, from creating sales items to employee access.
Setup / Utilities is a core module that is included with every Veloce license. This is where the Veloce license is managed, and also where general settings and localization options can be found. This module also contains various troubleshooting tools as well as the manual backup tool.
The local workstation is not a module, but a shortcut used to launch a POS workstation locally, on the Veloce Back-Office server. The local workstation is often used on "all-in-one" systems where the Veloce Back-Office resides on POS hardware, or simply as an extra POS that can be used for other tasks, like for employees to punch in.

The Veloce Back-Office screen will be displayed, with all the modules that were purchased with the license.
IMPORTANT! It will be possible to login to the Veloce Back-Office without entering a password as long as no additional users are created. While this is convenient during the programming phase, this is by no means secure. Additional users should be created prior to deploying the system to a live site, and these should be protected by strong passwords.
