Just got off the phone with a client complaining about the sun glare in the afternoon on his terminal that he put outside..
I suggested an umbrella. He was not impressed.. any body know of any cut to fit screen shades?I realize how vaugue my post was let me Explain: The client is from a restaurant locally. The POS is outside on the Patio because he wants it to be easier but its causing more of a problem because of the glare from the sun during the afternoon.
What does he do when it rains?
Gets angry, I would guess.
I would hope he has the ability to move the terminal so when it does rain. I'm not sure, I think it might even be under an Outside extension, the terminal faces to the west, so afternoons suck for the wait staff
Our fix?
Move the terminal to face away from the sun, or build a bout around it to keep it shaded so you can see. -

LOL - yeah probably, because he just lost 10 tables to seat.
Really, those terminals are often weird sizes, it's likely that no polarizer exists for them.. and if they do, they will cost a fortune because of their size.. which means taping on an oversized one that will look like shit - if it will work at all - because if the screens are touch screens, it's like you can't put this over them without causing issues.

This is essentially my life. Planning, backing up and re-raiding systems.
