DEVICE PROFILE are Profiles you can reuse across multiples Devices: POS, Tablet, ... or have specific ones for every device.
What does it mean?
It means that every single Device (POS / Ipad) can have a specific setting that suits its needs:
What Payment Terminal it's connected to, the Workflow, which Sections are assigned, your prefered Order Types (dine in, takeaway, delivery, ...), the options you want to display, ...
For example, let's say you have 3 POS in your Venue:
1 x at your BAR POS: might only need to display Snacks / Drinks instead of the whole menu. Does not need the floor plan. Needs fast access to the Cart for Takeaway orders, etc..
1 x in your RESTAURANT POS: Needs the Floor Plan to display first after login, etc..
1 x in your FUNCTION ROOM UPSTAIRS POS: Needs to print food at the kitchen but drinks at the upstairs Bar. Needs Seat options for big groups & dietaries, etc..
