Thinking about upgrading to [Thr!ve restaurant point-of-sale](https://www.thrivepos.com/products/restaurant_tablet_point_of_sale_01/)?  We know you'll love the new graphical user interface, the improved performance, and the affordability of iPad or Android tablets as a restaurant point-of-sale order entry option.  But we've also made a lot of little changes to the user interface -- that according to our trainer George Yudell -- all add up to some big improvements.  He shared his most loved features at the recent Granbury Customer Conference.

**1. Smart Coupons.**  Make it easier for your team to see what coupons might apply to their order with the Smart Coupon feature, available from the options screen OR you can put a button anywhere on the screen.   George suggests using the "Promo" category of special offers for those items that you want employees to give away when customers ask.

**2. Message button right below the item.**   It can be confusing to add a message to a ticket or an item.  Thr!ve makes it simple to understand - the big M right under the item lets you easily add a message. 

**3. ****Deferreds**.  It's easy to see all your deferred orders right on the orders screen just by selecting the "Deferred" button.  You don't have to worry about clearing out the dates.

**4. CallerID.**  We've improved the callerID screen, so it's color coded to show customer status.  Now, before you even pick up the phone you'll know if it's a new customer, a loyal customer, or someone with an open order.

**5. Full Review**.   Just touch the $$ total on any order in the orders screen to bring up a full review of that order. If you are looking through orders, this is a time saver

**6. ****Adding toppings.**   Want to add extra toppings to a pizza?  Now its super easy - just touch on the right (green) side of the topping button to add, touch on the left (red) side to subtract.  No extra "Add" button to worry about!

**7. Driver Dispatch.**  The dispatch screen is clean and simple, easy to use but packed full of functionality like mapping, street view and driver directions.  

**8. Mapping from the orders screen**.  Orders can be easily mapped right from the orders screen - you don't have to go to dispatch or look up the customer to do it. 

**9.  Rear Display.**  Show customers the details of their orders with a graphical mini tablet display that attaches to the back of your order taking station.  It's very modern looking and gives you the ability to promote products & services while your customers wait.

**10. Walk Me product tutorials**. Question about how to void an order or close a cash drawer?  On screen tutorials will walk you through every step. 

**11. Approved Sites button**.  Give employees access to websites you approve of (and only those pre-approved sites), right from within the point-of-sale.

**12. Integrated Scheduling.**  Controlling early clock ins is a sure way to save thousands each year.  (Just prevent 4 $10/hr employees from clock in 15 minutes early daily and you'll put $3600 in your pocket).   Employees can view and print their schedule right from the POS timeclock area.
