Overview

Volanté can be set up so that menu items can be configured to interact with weigh scales.  

With proper configuration, menu items can be priced per weight. 

Examples:

  • A salad bar charges per weight of salad
  • Sandwiches charged per weight of the meat


Hardware 

The following are scales that currently work with Volanté's POS Systems:


Brecknell Scales, Model# 621-U.

Hardware Setup

In the Volanté BackOffice software, go to Hardware Setup and specify which COM port the scale is attached to.

NOTE:

Linux systems use non-linked ports. Therefore it only uses ttySx port.

  • For example, on an IBM, the COM Port 3 is ttyS5, which means it will be Port 6 on the dropdown list.
  • Find the ttySx port and add one when you select the COM port below:
    • ttyS0 = 1
    • ttyS1 = 2
    • ttyS2 = 3
