Normally there are two systems set up in the restaurant. One goes in the front where the customer’s order is taken, while the other one is set up in the kitchen so the cooks could see the orders as it comes up.

There are other forms of the POS that allows customer interaction without the person actually being there. Ex. Drive through and internet order forms
