Restaurant with Wi-Fi for customers considering POS system

QuickBooks Point of Sale : Free 10.0

Small counter-order restaurant with Wi-Fi for customers wants to use POS at register, with QBF in back office. Intuit POS reps mentioned we need to set up a firewall system to restrict access to network with POS installed at cash register, and POS and QBF at back office.   Also want to incorporate Wall St Jnl's suggestion to cut off access to internet for cash register computer with POS.  How can this be done?

I am not sure about the IT stuff, but I would suggest that you do some serious research regarding using QuickBooks Point of Sale for a restaurant.

My motto:
Keep it as simple as you can. . .with only as much detail as you need.

When in doubt, make a backup first!!

Yes, thanks Laura.  I know its not the best system, but was just looking for a way to automate their revenue recording, given they are under-staffed and lack funds for a more sophisticated POS system. I'll be contacting you further off-line.  Thank you, Karen
