Differences Between Self Serve Kiosk and POS Register
Other than the left menu disappearing from view, there are several other differences in the display between the self-server register and a regular POS register.
1. The following displays are also hidden from customers in self-serve kiosk mode:
2. The Walk-In customer popup field is renamed Customer, with the search field saying "Enter your phone or email here“ (will have to be an exact match to be added to the order).
3. The All Payments and Cash buttons are renamed Checkout.
4. If a product in the shopping cart is selected for editing, the only tabs that will appear are Quantity, Modifiers or Matrix Variant, and Notes. The Discount and Pricing tabs will not appear for customers.
Customer Flow of Self Serve Kiosk
1. If a splash screen was enabled and the image uploaded in the Self Serve settings in Back Office, the splash screen uploaded will be displayed and will say "Touch to Begin Ordering."
2. If the Add Customers to Orders option was selected in the Self Serve settings in Back Office, the customer can select the Customer field on the top left of the screen and then search for themselves by entering their exact email or phone number in the search field. "Enter your phone or email here“ will be displayed.
3. The customer selects the items they want to add to the shopping cart and they will appear on the left side of the screen.
5. They will be navigated to the Choose payment method screen, where they will have the option of selecting any of the payment types enabled for the self-serve register in the Self Serve Back Office settings (Debit Card will only be an option if enabled in the Payment Gateway tab of Store Settings).
6. After a payment type is selected, they will be taken to the Place Order screen. Here, customers have the option of entering their name in the Please Enter Your Name (optional) field.
7. If the Ability to Choose Order Type option was enabled in the Back Office Store Settings, under Select Order Type, customers will be able to select either the Dine In (default) or Pickup options.
8. The customer will select the PLACE ORDER button to confirm the order.
9. They will then be taken to the Receipt screen, which will say "Thank You!", followed by the last 4 digits of their order number, and the message you customized in Back Office either for cash or credit card payments (depending on the payment type selected).
Idle Timeout
If a customer is in the middle of an order and the screen remains untouched for the specified number of seconds selected in the Self Serve Back Office Settings (options being 60 sec (default), 90 sec, and 120 sec), a popup will appear that says Are you still here? The order will be closed after 30 seconds (and then will start counting down).
The options Yes and New Order will be displayed. If the customer selects Yes, the order will continue from where it left off. If New Order is selected, it will return to the main POS screen and the order will not be saved. If neither is selected after the 30-second countdown reaches zero, it will return either to the splash screen (if enabled in Back Office Self-Serve settings) or the shopping cart and the order will not be saved.
