Abstract
A point-of-sale (POS) terminal for fulfilling orders under non-persistent network conditions includes a state processor and an order processor. The state processor queues state changes in one or more order queues that correspond to one or more orders. The order processor generates the changes and accesses and transmits the changes in each one of the one or more order queues to a server, from oldest to youngest, when operably connected to a network, where the order processor has current order state fields corresponding to a subset of all of the orders, and where the order processor utilizes rules disposed therein to resolve conflicts in the one or more orders occurring from state change updates received from the server which result from other state changes to the one or more orders generated by one or more other POS terminals, and where a service area map within the server associates the POS terminal to one or more service areas, and where the subset of all of the orders corresponds to one of the one or more service areas.
