Outlet hub
Every till keeps selling on its own when the internet is down (working offline). An outlet hub goes one step further: the outlet’s tills and kitchen screens keep working together over your local network. Tills see each other’s orders and the kitchen keeps getting tickets. Everything reaches the cloud when the internet comes back, in the order it happened.
What you need
Section titled “What you need”A computer at the outlet that stays on, usually the main till, on the same network as the other tills and kitchen screens.
Add a hub
Section titled “Add a hub”- In the back office, open Devices and choose Add an outlet hub.
- Give it a name, choose the outlet, and choose Get a code. The code works once, for 15 minutes.
- On the computer that will run the hub, run the command shown (
api hub enrol … --code …), then start the hub withapi hub.
There’s nothing to do on the tills or kitchen screens: they find the hub through Kripos and switch to it on their own. Devices shows the hub’s address on your network.
How you can tell
Section titled “How you can tell”- A till whose hub has its orders but can’t reach the internet shows LAN only · n waiting in the sync chip.
- A kitchen screen working from the hub shows LAN only. Tickets you bump are passed on when the internet is back, so nobody bumps them twice.
Remove a hub
Section titled “Remove a hub”On Devices, choose Revoke on the hub. Tills go straight to the cloud again.
