Abstract
In some examples, a point-of-sale (POS) device may detect an offline mode that prevents the POS device or one or more other devices (which couple with the POS device via a short-range network) from communicating with a remote server via a long-range network. Responsive to detecting the offline mode, the POS device may authenticate the other devices to communicate over the short-range network and synchronize, between the POS and the other devices, information associated with an order over the short-range network. In response to detecting that the offline mode has concluded, the POS device may transmit the information from the POS device or at least one of the other devices to the remove server via the long-range network.
