The operation principle is similar to the end of the line queue technology (ordering from the linequeue). In the order without payment mode, after saving the order the kiosk forms files in a special XML format to be further processed by the r_keeper _ 7 cash server.

- If several cash desks are used, make the following settings to avoid the order numbers overlapping for when several orders are generated at several kiosks you need to make the following settings:
The order number should have four digits:

The orderPrefix is the new setting here (in the : a non-negative integer within the range between 0 and 9. In the settings example above the value equals 1): a non-negative integer within the range between 0 and 9.
Different prefixes should be specified for kiosks working with one cash server. Then numbers from different kiosks will not overlap at the time of when paying at the cash desk.
If over ten kiosks operate with one server, the overlapping issue will reappearappear again.
Preparing the Menu
Another obligatory condition for launching the r_keeper_SelfServiceTerminal_7 system is is preparing the menu to be displayed on at the kiosk. The r_keeper_SelfServiceTerminal_7 will not launch run until you set up configure the menu tree.
Go to the directory Menu — Menu to Menu > Menu Tree and create catalogs (selector pages) and subcatalogs sub-catalogs to be displayed on the kiosk screen.
| Note |
|---|
The |
...
menu tree should have three levels. |
These selectors are then filled with subcatalogs (second sub-catalogs — second-level selectors). For example, for instance the Juice, Mineral Water, and Alcohol, etc. selectors are added to the Beverages selector, while the second-level selectors are filled with menu dishes. Only dishes can be added to the second-level selectors. You cannot add combo dishes and subcatalogs. Psub-catalogs there.
Once the tree is created, all catalogs (— first level selectors ) — should be moved to the Initial Choice catalog the Initial Choice catalog which is the tree root.
The obligatory condition is that the first and second level selectors should only be selector pages and not menu items.
...
The pictures for the dishes are set up in the Self-Service and Online Orders items in the dish attributes. If there is no such item, switch on the Settings — Parameters — Self-Service and Online Orders parameter.
Далее эти селекторы наполняются подкаталогами (селекторами второго уровня), например, в селектор "Напитки" добавляются селекторы "Соки", "Воды", "Алкоголь" и т.д., а селекторы второго уровня, в свою очередь, заполняются блюдами из меню. В селекторы второго уровня можно добавить только блюда. Комплексные блюда и подкаталоги добавлять нельзя. П
После создания дерева, все каталоги(селекторы первого уровня) должны быть перемещены в каталог "Начальный выбор" - корень дерева.
| Tip |
|---|
| Обязательное условие - селекторы 1го и 2го уровня должны быть только страницами селектора, а не элементами меню. |
