To make the most of the mobile waiter feature, it’s important to set up tables and screens that your staff will use on their device.
The setup is simple – it follows the same process as configuring outlets used for sales in the standard Vento POS.
We recommend setting up screens in a way that simplifies the ordering process as much as possible. Your waiters will appreciate it – and you’ll find useful tips in the guide below.Adding Tables to a Screen:
1. Go to ePOS → Outlets and open the detail of the outlet where the mobile waiter will be used.
2. In the Other operations section, choose Add screen and select the screen type PDA – Place.
Tip: We recommend choosing grid dimensions such as 4×10 to keep the table layout clear and easy to navigate on the device. Don’t forget to check the Active box.
3. Once the screen is created, click Edit screen
4. Then add existing tables from that outlet to the screen layout.
If you need to add a lot of tables, you can create additional screens for better organization, name them accordingly, and assign tables to each one.
Adding Services to a Screen :
1. Again in the Other operations section, choose Add screen, this time selecting the screen type PDA – Services.
2. In the new screen’s detail, add buttons for the specific items (recipes) that waiters will be selling.
3. Choose the button type Recipe (or Recipe– list) and place it on the screen just like when configuring standard Vento POS screens.
You can also add Modifires (using the Modifier button type) and Payment types (using the Payment button. This saves time and makes the payment process smoother.
Setting default screens:
As a final step, go to Other operations → Edit header and set the default screens for PDA terminals.
