The following guide will advise on the steps to setup and deploy Crave In-room tablets using the Crave configuration launcher, which is preinstalled on all Crave In-Room tablets.

installed the Crave Emenu application. Before installing the In-Room tablet into guest rooms you will need to configure the
correct room number.
Each In-room tablet must be assigned a room number in order to be able to place orders and service requests. The room number allows hotel personnel to identify which guest is using the tablet as well as allowing them the option to directly message each In-room tablet. The following steps will guide you through assigning a room number for the first time or changing the room number if you need to move the In-Room tablet to another room.
Enter your pin code, then select the login button to access the management menu.
Enter the required room number on the keypad and select the highlighted green tick to confirm.
Please take care to ensure the the correct room number is programmed. An ncorrect or duplicate room number can result in orders or service requests to be delivered to the wrong guest.
