    Please answer all the questions below. If you're not sure of an answer, select "Don't Know".

    An all-in-one unit will save valuable counter space, not to mention, there are specific all-in-one units that are made specifically for food service purposes. These units can endure accidents and spills associated with food.

    A touch screen monitor that can be operated with your finger is the optimal set-up as QuikLunch was designed to be used with a touch screen monitor.
    2a. When using your touchscreen, do you find that there are any dead spots where you are not getting the responsiveness you used to?
    YesNoI don't know
    Touch screen responsiveness can be caused by a variety of factors, calibration and screen damage are just a couple examples.

    3. Do you use your terminals for functions other than Point of Sale transactions?
    No, I only use my terminal to run transactions using my point of sale softwareYes, I use my terminal to run transactions, and run reportsYes, I use my terminal to run transactions, report, order food and frequently use the browserDon't Know

    All of the options above help to improve line efficiency. Did you know with QuikLunch you can run multiple lines with two different input devices? This would also help to increase the speed and efficiency of your lunch lines.

    6. Does your district use cash drawers?

    7. Do your terminals have backup power supplies?
    YesNoSome do, Some don'tDon't Know

    Did you know that having back up power can help save your terminal when a circuit shorts or power fluctuates? Back Up Power Supply also allows the computer to stay powered on during a power outage for up to 15 minutes to allow you to properly power computer off. Surge protectors may not protect a terminal when a circuit shorts, however, back-up power will.

    8. In an emergency, do you have access to a terminal or terminal peripheral (pin pads, scanners etc.) replacements at your school?
    YesNoDon't Know

    QuikLunch can be up and running within minutes, so having a spare terminal unit would increase the speed and accuracy of nutrition services data collection.
