The Mobile Waiter is used in the same way as the Dotypos. Working with orders is very quick and easy. The Mobile Waiter supports most cashier operations. Exceptions are Sell by proxy and shortcuts and sub-categories.

Mobile Waiter supports working with customer credit through the special products Redeem Credit and Recharge Credit. For more information about customer credit, see this chapter.

Charging with Mobile Waiter

1_icon

On the main screen to add products to an open order. Alternatively, you can scan the barcode with the built-in camera by tapping the icon . However, this option must be enabled in the Application Settings. Long tap on the product to assign it to the selected course. If you disable selling under stock in the product properties, you will not be able to sell the item if it is out of stock.

Once it is finished, click on the bottom bar with the information on the order . This will get you to the charged items, where you can perform operations with the current order. The icon displays the actual Daily menu and Recommendation screen with the best-selling products which you can tap to add to order.

In the open order overview you can see the items charged. You can now park the order to the table of your choice (if you have created a Table Map) or park it without assigning it to a specific table. You can also split and pay for individual items on your order separately. To do this, use the option .

Selecting PAY will display the available payment methods (as per the Dotypos settings), selecting a payment method will then pay the order and close it. The available payment methods can be limited in the Application Settings. If you have other currencies active you will find them in the displayed payment methods. You can split the payment between several payment methods using the Split payment button under payment methods. If you hold the PAY button for a long time, a dialog for splitting the account will be displayed. In case of only one payment method, the payment will be made immediately.

If you tap on the selected order item it will be expanded and you can use the + / - buttons to change its quantity or remove it from the order. The pencil button will allow you to add a note, set a % discount on the selected item, select a portion or assign a specific course. The icon offers access to other operations with an open order.

If Takeaway is active in the main cash register settings, a dialog may be displayed (depending on your preferred setting for this feature) to select the Eat in / Take away sales type before the bill is paid. Likewise, a dialog will be displayed to enter the price/quantity if the appropriate options are active for the product on the main cash register.

Depending on the payment settings on the main cash register, after selecting the payment method, a dialog will be displayed to insert a tip or enter the amount received using the defined coins and banknotes. The Paid button will then pay the order using the selected payment method and close the order.

If you have a wireless payment terminal, the amount will be displayed directly on the payment terminal (for card payments). Otherwise the payment just records the transaction in the cash register and then you have to enter the amount to be paid on the terminal manually and also perform the card payment manually.

Splitting orders

The order split dialog is available on the open order screen or via a button in the open order menu, or by long pressing the PAY button. To split items on your order, use the - + or 123 buttons to enter the quantity of the item to be paid. The same keypad will also be displayed when you tap in the default quantity field . If using the keypad, enter the quantity to split/pay and confirm with the SPLIT button.

You simply specify the products that the customer wants to pay for separately. Use the + button to add items for payment and the - button to remove them. At the bottom of the value of the separated items, i.e. those to be paid for, is displayed. Finally, tap on the PAY button and the selected items will be added to a separate order for payment. When you remove the entire quantity of one item, the dialog will show that item crossed out.

You can also use the button to park the items to be paid, effectively creating a new open order with these items to pay later.

Once you have paid the split items, the original order with the remaining items will still be available for payment. You can park it, pay it, or split it again. You can continue in this way until you have paid all the remaining items in the order. Click to cancel the splitting of the order.

Open orders and Table Map

From the Mobile Waiter main screen, you can access an overview of open (parked) order and also the Table map. Working with these items is again simple and similar to the philosophy of Dotypos. The open order view can be limited to only orders issued by the currently logged in user (Only my orders option in the header). Otherwise, open orders created by other users will also be displayed.

In the list of open orders, you can see all currently parked orders no matter whether they are assigned to a specific table or not. Click on the selected order to activate it and to go back to the main screen with products and categories. The order is now active, so use the classic product selection from the tiles to add them to this order again. Use this possibility when guests with an open order ask for extra items.

As soon as you add new items, click on the bottom line with the order information (see the first picture) and park the order once again or settle it.

The Table Map gives the same options. Click on the selected table to open the order and add items to this table. Similarly as it is in Dotypos, a table with an already open order is marked violet.

Blocking order adjustments

To prevent order adjustments at two places at the same time (main cash register and Mobile Waiter), the order is blocked. The order is blocked when it is active (open) in the main cash register or in Mobile Waiter - in the mode of adding items.

If you open a parked order in the main cash register or in Mobile Waiter that is active somewhere else, a notification will be displayed and no adjustments to the order will be allowed. To adjust the order further, it is necessary to go where it is open and park it. The picture below shows the notification in Mobile Waiter:

In the touch cash register it looks similar. The order currently being adjusted in Mobile Waiter cannot be open in parked orders or from Table map:

Printing orders and receipts

To print receipts directly from Mobile Waiter, the device with the installed Mobile Waiter has to be paired with the mobile Bluetooth printer, eventually you can also use a printer connected to the main cash register. Once the printer is paired, you can select it in the Mobile Waiter settings. After each order closure the receipt will be printed at this printer. So the receipts are printed either at the paired printer from Mobile Waiter or at the main cash register printer.

Printing orders is always a question of the main cash register (cash register connected with Mobile Waiter). If in the Dotypos printing settings you defined a printing task to print orders for the printer, a bon will be printed at this printer after the order is settled or parked.
