Set up a till or kitchen screen

A till takes orders; a kitchen screen shows the kitchen what to make. Any device that runs Kripos can be either one: the desktop app, the Android or iPhone app, or a web browser. A device is a till or a kitchen screen, not both.

Each till gets its own key, kept on the device, which can’t be copied. Its orders are numbered from its own series.

Set up a till (as a manager)

1. On the device, open Kripos and sign in as an owner or manager.
2. Open Point of Sale. It shows Set up a till.
3. Give it a Till name (Front counter, Bar) and choose the Outlet if you have more than one.
4. Choose Use this browser as a till.

The till’s lock screen appears: staff now sign in with their PIN.

Set up a till with a code

When nobody with a manager’s sign-in is at the device:

1. In the back office, open Devices, find the till and choose New code. The code works once, for 15 minutes.
2. On the device, open Point of Sale, type the code under Enrolment code and choose Enrol with a code.

Set up a kitchen screen

1. On the device, sign in as a manager and open Kitchen display. It shows Set up a kitchen screen.
2. Give the Screen name, choose the Outlet, and set it up. Or enter an enrolment code made for a kitchen screen.
3. Choose the station it shows. See Use the kitchen screen.

See and remove devices

Devices in the back office lists every till, kitchen screen and outlet hub with its outlet, status and when it was last seen.

• New code makes a fresh enrolment code for a device, to set it up again on new hardware.
• Revoke stops a device at once, for a lost or stolen till. It then shows Set up again and must be set up afresh. Orders it already sent are kept.

Switch a device between till and kitchen screen

A device does one job at a time. To turn a till into a kitchen screen (or back):

1. On that device, sign in as an owner or manager.
2. Open Kitchen display (to make it a kitchen screen) or Point of Sale (to make it a till). Kripos says what the device is set up as now.
3. Choose Use it as a kitchen screen instead (or Use it as a till instead), check the device is online, then Switch to a kitchen screen (or Switch to a till). The old till or kitchen screen is removed from Devices; orders it hadn’t sent yet are lost.
4. Set it up as the new kind, as above.

Staff without the right to manage devices see who to ask instead.

A device you revoked

After Revoke, the device shows Set up again. Sign in there as an owner or manager and set it up as a till or kitchen screen afresh, with a new name or enrolment code. It can be a different kind than before.
