Activate POS System

 
Activate is the POS application that can be accessed exclusively by venues to offer enterprise point of sale solution.

 
Problems

• When a cashier processes a refund, he/she doesn’t have the ability to refund tips via different payment methods in one transaction. It adds inconvenience and time for both the cashier and customer
• The cashier doesn’t have the options to change the tip amount on individual payment method

 
Kickoff meeting
The first insights came from the high number of requests from our restaurant clients, showing that their staff had a lot of difficulties to refund tips that came from multiple credit cards. At the initial meeting, we discussed some of the challenges of the issue. This is a very technical product, involving the POS platform restrictions which makes it difficult to optimize.
 
Solutions
I decided to make a simple refund flow with a modal design where the cashier can easily customize the refund tip amount right through the input field on the modal. He/she has 2 ways to access the refund tip modal: From Order Summary screen or “Refund All” button.

 
 
I also redesigned the flow for Activate POS’s customer-facing device, to make the tipping experience more streamlined.
