A Staff Console is not Receiving Orders


If a client reports that they are not receiving orders on their staff console, there are 3 primary things to check.

 

 

Check The Device's WiFi Connection


The first thing to check is that the device is properly connected to WiFi. If the staff console has no WiFi connection, it will not receive orders. Review how to connect a device to WiFi below.

 

Check the Order Routing


If the device is fully connected to WiFi and orders aren't appearing then the routing for the order items should be reviewed to ensure that the staff console(s) in question are assigned to it. Learn how to create and adjust order routing below.

Updating Device Software


If the WiFi connection and the order routing appear to be correct, review the software versions that the staff console is running. If they do not reflect the latest versions then it would be advisable to update them. Learn how to remotely update a device's software below.

 

A Guest Device Can't Submit Orders


There are multiple elements to double-check when a client reports that orders cannot be submitted via guest-facing devices. As a starting point, the four below points should be confirmed.

 

Check The Device's WiFi Connection


The first thing to check is that the device is properly connected to WiFi. If the guest tablet is not connected to a WiFi network, then it will not be able to submit orders. Review how to connect a device to WiFi below.

 

Ensure a Room Number is Assigned


Guest-facing tablets won't be able to submit orders or requests without a room number being assigned to it. To learn how to assign a room number to a device, refer to the below article.

Updating Device Software


If the guest device is properly connected to WiFi and has a room number assigned, review the software versions that the device is running. If they do not reflect the latest versions then it would be advisable to update them. Learn how to remotely update a device's software below.

 

Items Aren't Orderable/Requestable


If an item that should be orderable isn't, then there a two things that could be causing this. Firstly, the item in question may not be configured as orderable in the CMS. The second potential cause is that the item has been made unavailable because of a schedule. Below are the two points that should always be checked first.

 

Change a Product Subtype


If there is not an option to order or request an item that should be, the first thing to check is the product subtype. The subtype defines the behaviour of the product and dictates whether it is orderable, informational or links to an external URL. Refer to the below article on product subtypes and how they can be adjusted.

 

Adjust an Ordering Schedule


Ordering schedules allow users to control the times that certain items can be ordered/requested without removing them from the tablet entirely. Review the below guide to learn more about creating and adjusting ordering schedules.
