Hey Bringus, Here Is A Good Name For The Operating System, SonicOS.

Sonic lawsuit is inbound

[@faeranne]

So... 10 years ago I was wandering my local neighborhood, and noticed a large pile of electronics sitting outside my local Sonic. Pulling up, I looked it over, and thought "Hm, why is this e-waste just sitting here? Are they just gonna throw it away? Maybe I could ask the manager if I could have it?" So I walked up to the kiosk, pushed that brand new, shiny, red button, and asked if I could talk to a manager. Some 20 something kid wanders out and says he's the assistant manager, cause the regular manager was gone for the day. I point to the pile of e-waste and ask what the plan is. He says something along the lines of "I have no idea, but if you can make it go away, please do." Well, I have a minivan and too much time, so I agree, and make the pile vanish... into my garage. This wasn't stall screens, but the actual server hardware that ran on-site, along with kitchen screens and button pads, among other things. The real guts of the operation. The 10.21.4.1 the stall spoke to. And a year later I sold the server along with most of the components for about $500. Never managed to image the SAS drives, never collected any data on how it worked. Only thing I have left are the old Serial cards the server used, since they were kinda cool and worked with something else I was toying with. I had the final keys in my hands years ago, and let them slip right through. I have failed the world. PS: I went to another sonic to see if I could get more e-waste, since they all were replacing their hardware, and it turns out that kid was *not* supposed to give that to me. I had no idea at the time, but he probably got fired over that... ooops.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

I mean... We should have seen their scrap hardware crisis coming. They're not a tiny guerilla startup in a no-name town, they're a regimented conglomerate fortress. Company e-waste laying around instead of going through due processes and boatloads of paperwork? I'm surprised they didn't fire 50 middle managers other than that poor lad.

[@NikolaguitarREZB]

Hey Bringus, I work with these POSes every day. Looking at the back of the unit, the USB 5 (12v) is usually reserved for Scanner peripherals, since they draw more power. CD1-2 are cash drawer ports. Customer Display is that little pole thing that shows you the total, that has a monochrome LCD, which is why it doesn't really need a digital port. COM ports are usually reserved for extra peripherals, and do not act like LAN ports, usually. They're relatively powerful machines, and there are some 12th gen intel ones. Though, if anyone has questions about this, I'll try to answer them as much as possible.

@@ahmede92 Oh thats why sonic jumps on them

[@massgrave_]

I have experience with maintaining POS systems like this for retail/restaurant businesses (although not for Sonic): CD1 & CD2 refer to Cash Drawer 1 & Cash Drawer 2. These and the 12V Out would all be sent to a splitter / Y-cable that would provide both power and trigger signal to the cash drawer(s). The COM ports were typically reserved for thermal printers for printing receipts or for sending order tickets to the printers in the kitchen. Normal USB ports were typically used for barcode scanners for coupons among other random peripherals like base stations for wireless pagers. We didn't use the USB5 port but the "Customer Display" port was connected to an auxiliary front-facing display so the customer would see their order and total as the items were being entered on the main display.

[@unamelable256]

To be honest - im pretty sure those all ports is just installed because it was a junk anyways. They could just throw all USB's, but no. We gonna slap random bullsh1t so technicians will break their neck by trying to understand how to configure hardware. But to be fair - if you already have some expirience with f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ maintaining those machines that isn't a problem.

[@tennojiberri]

so those customer display ports are what cash registers use at movie theaters to display seat reservations and such, interesting!

[@norfolkngood8960]

@@unamelable256 To be honest there was so much POS stuff around long before USB existed at all thats why they still use so many ports. POS industry doesn't really change. Decades before USB came along we had power out of RS232 com ports hence the 5/9/12v option there it's used to power devices like barcode scanners in the same way USB used to. Epos was well ahead of its time in many ways like that even back in the 80's.

[@miawgogo]

​@@unamelable256 the reason the Cash draws had a different port is a mix of backwards compatibility, but also they have got to thwak a massive solenoid to push it open(needs a lot of current at medium voltages above 10v below 100v) and using RJ45 for serial is pretty common

I used to work with Micros systems, InfoGenesys, Comtrex, and others, interesting video. For those who aren't aware: COM1 and 2 are Serial Ports and can also be enabled to send voltage to certain things, like a Customer VFD Display, Cash Drawer, etc. COM 5 is just standard Serial Port w/o voltage sending. The CD 1 and 2 are for Cash Drawer's 1 and 2 and I think the PS/2 looking Customer Display also is a serial connection with a different connector. Also that IP Address it's trying to talk to, is definitely a LAN one. Great find none the less, great video!

2:50 that’s a sticker for Windows POSReady, which was a version of Embedded designed specifically for point of sale machines. POSReady 7 is based on Windows 7 and was deprecated one year after 7 was. It had a unique startup screen, too. Presumably, because of which Microsoft logo is on that license sticker , that originally ran POSReady 8 based on Windows 8. Not actually 100% sure on that one though. The previous generation of Walmart’s self-checkout terminals (the ones with the number on a light-up box on a stick) ran POSReady 7. No idea what the new ones (the ones with a light-up sheet of plastic on a stick) run, because I quit before they replaced the old ones we had at my store.

[@jcornelius2]

the new ones run Windows 10 with the self checkout running in a fullscreen Chrome tab.

1:41 Just a note here, those "ethernet" ports labelled com are actually serial ports using an RJ jack instead of a bulky serial port. Some have custom pinouts, so fair warning.

[@widgity]

Yup, don't want to plug that into an ethernet port. The card reader was probably serial too.

[@thurstylark827]

Ahh! That "car detect" stuff you found in the config explains those exposed components under the screen! I've always wondered if they were just using the camera to give the Carhops a remote visual of the cx (which is still entirely plausible on its own), but that didn't ever explain to me what the other holes were for. They're using sonar to detect stall occupancy! That's *got* to be an amazing source of info.

[@KG5PHD]

What’s crazy is the car detect hardware is there, but Micros never made anything in the software to actually show someone is there or not.

[@thurstylark827]

@@KG5PHD It could be for only stats collection. Knowing when each stall is occupied, and for how long could be a very useful source of data. Basically automates away the collection of data to answer questions like how busy the store is, and at what times, which stalls are used the most, how long do people look at the menu before pressing the button, what percentage of people stay and eat vs take their food to go, that sort of thing.
