Quick Setup Guide¶
This guide provides a concise overview of the 4-phase Muneris Mobile Ordering implementation process with timeline estimates and critical dependencies.
Implementation Phases Overview¶
The implementation follows a structured approach to ensure successful deployment:
graph LR
A[๐ Preparation<br/>Week 1] --> B[โ๏ธ Configuration<br/>Week 2]
B --> C[๐งช Testing<br/>Week 3]
C --> D[๐ Go-Live<br/>Week 4]
Phase 1: Preparation (Week 1)¶
Objectives¶
- Validate system compatibility
- Gather required credentials and access
- Plan implementation timeline
Key Activities¶
- System Requirements Check - Verify Oracle Simphony compatibility and STS licensing
- Payment Provider Setup - Confirm merchant account access and API credentials
- Hardware Planning - Order and prepare tablets/terminals if needed
- Access Preparation - Gather admin credentials and network requirements
Timeline Estimate¶
3-5 business days (can extend if procurement needed)
Critical Dependencies¶
- Oracle Simphony STS licensing confirmation
- Payment provider merchant account activation
Validation Checkpoint¶
โ All requirements verified, credentials gathered, hardware ready
Phase 2: Configuration (Week 2)¶
Objectives¶
- Set up Oracle Simphony integration
- Configure admin portal settings
- Configure payment providers
Key Activities¶
- Company Setup - Create company profile in admin portal
- Property Configuration - Set up restaurant location details
- STS Integration - Configure Oracle Simphony connection and testing
- Payment Setup - Configure payment providers in demo mode
- Initial Testing - Validate configurations in demo environment
Timeline Estimate¶
5-7 business days (depending on Oracle complexity)
Critical Dependencies¶
- Successful Phase 1 completion
- Oracle Simphony administrator availability
- Payment provider demo environment access
Validation Checkpoint¶
โ All configurations complete, demo mode testing successful
Phase 3: Testing & Validation (Week 3)¶
Objectives¶
- Comprehensive system testing
- Staff training and familiarization
- Production environment setup
Key Activities¶
- End-to-End Testing - Full order workflow testing in demo mode
- Payment Testing - Validate all payment methods and error handling
- Oracle Integration Testing - Confirm POS synchronization and posting
- Staff Training - Train restaurant staff on mobile app usage
- Production Setup - Switch to production payment credentials
Timeline Estimate¶
5-7 business days (includes training time)
Critical Dependencies¶
- Successful Phase 2 completion
- Staff availability for training
- Production payment provider approval
Validation Checkpoint¶
โ All testing complete, staff trained, production ready
Phase 4: Go-Live & Support (Week 4)¶
Objectives¶
- Deploy to production environment
- Monitor initial operations
- Provide ongoing support
Key Activities¶
- Production Deployment - Activate live payment processing
- Soft Launch - Begin with limited hours or menu items
- Monitoring - Track system performance and order processing
- Issue Resolution - Address any initial operational issues
- Full Deployment - Expand to full menu and hours
Timeline Estimate¶
3-5 business days for full deployment
Critical Dependencies¶
- Successful Phase 3 completion
- Restaurant operational readiness
- Support team availability
Validation Checkpoint¶
โ Production orders processing successfully, staff comfortable with system
Critical Path Dependencies¶
Must Complete in Order¶
- Oracle STS Access โ STS Configuration โ Payment Testing
- Payment Provider Approval โ Production Testing โ Go-Live
- Demo Testing Success โ Staff Training โ Production Deployment
- Hardware Setup โ App Installation โ Staff Training
Parallel Activities¶
- Hardware procurement can run parallel to configuration
- Staff training can begin during demo testing phase
- Payment provider production approval can process during testing
Timeline Considerations¶
Typical Timeline: 2-4 Weeks¶
- Fast Track (2 weeks): Simple single-location with existing integrations
- Standard (3 weeks): New setup with moderate complexity
- Extended (4+ weeks): Multiple locations or complex integrations
Factors Affecting Timeline¶
- Oracle Simphony complexity - Custom configurations may require additional time
- Payment provider approval - Production credentials processing time varies
- Staff availability - Training schedule impacts go-live timing
- Hardware procurement - New device orders can extend timeline
Planning Recommendations¶
- Buffer time - Add 20% buffer for unexpected issues
- Operational windows - Plan go-live during slower business periods
- Support coverage - Ensure support availability during first week of operation
Success Validation Checkpoints¶
Phase 1 โ ¶
- All system requirements verified
- Required credentials and access confirmed
- Implementation timeline agreed upon
Phase 2 โ ¶
- Admin portal fully configured
- Oracle STS integration tested
- Payment demo mode operational
Phase 3 โ ¶
- End-to-end order flow tested
- Staff trained and comfortable
- Production credentials activated
Phase 4 โ ¶
- Live orders processing successfully
- Performance monitoring in place
- Support processes established
Next Steps¶
Based on your current phase:
| If you're in... | Next action... |
|---|---|
| Planning | Review System Requirements |
| Phase 1 | Access Admin Portal |
| Phase 2 | Follow Simphony Configuration |
| Phase 3 | Deploy Mobile App |
| Phase 4 | Monitor and optimize operations |
Critical Success Factors
- Don't skip demo testing - Production issues are costly to resolve
- Ensure Oracle support - STS configuration often requires Oracle assistance
- Plan training time - Rushed training leads to operational problems
- Test payment processing - Validate all payment methods before go-live
