PIZZA HUT'S POINT OF SALE
Information
I didn't get much of a chance to look too deeply into these systems, the employee who let me look at this stuff did give some information as to what the system does. But there really isn't much to it, just another point of sale system. The only thing that caught my eye was the dumb terminals.

More Notes
Here are some notes that my buddy W32.Noob.Worm added to the mix:
The Pizza Huts around hear run on SCO-UNIX for the FMS (field management system your picture pizzahut00.jpg) which controls start/end of day,the orders on the terminals and a variety of other back office functions. They are standardized on Dell gx260 or 270's, they have a mirrored 80BG array, a perle card and if I remember right 512 MB RAM. Supported by Wincor-Nixdorf,GMBH.
I have never seen any that run Linux, maybe out there in California, but I'd be surprised. SCO kinda has them locked in. Perhaps there is a difference between the franchisees and the corporate sites. I only service the franchisees.
The QSR (can't remember the acronym) runs Windows 2000 professional,on a Beetle/s manufactured and supported by Wincor-Nixdorf (they are really easy to work on,but they are notorious for issues with heat and the primary ide controller,and the Toshiba hdd's laptop hdd's btw)
Pizza Hut is a wholly owned subsidiary of YUM,Inc. or Yum foods.
They also own Pepsi, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King and a few others.
They use Cisco 2950 switches, Bektel line sharing processors and a couple other items. I have their base images,as well as all their cold spare hardware in climate controlled storage off site. The only thing I don't keep is the touch screens, which interestingly enough aren't at the site you photographed at all.
