Daily Operations¶
Round-Based Ordering System¶
Understanding Rounds¶
Muneris Mobile Ordering uses a flexible round-based system that allows multiple order additions to a single customer check:
- Round 1: Initial order (appetizers, drinks, main courses)
- Round 2: Additional items (desserts, more drinks)
- Round 3+: Further additions as needed
- Flexible posting: Each round can be posted to POS independently
Round Management¶
- Start new round when customer wants to add items to existing check
- Post rounds individually to kitchen for optimal service timing
- View all rounds on single check for complete order overview
- Modify unpsted rounds before sending to kitchen
Order Management Workflows¶

- Select "New Order" to begin customer check
- Choose table/location if table management enabled
- Begin adding items from synchronized menu
Adding Items to Orders¶
- Browse menu categories to find items
- Tap menu items to add to current round
- Modify quantities using +/- buttons
- Add special instructions for kitchen preparation

- Round assignment: Clear indication of which device created each round
- Conflict prevention: System manages simultaneous modifications
- Status synchronization: Posted/unposted status visible to all team members
Order Modifications¶
Before Posting to Kitchen¶
- Add/remove items freely within current round
- Modify quantities and special instructions

- Load balancing: Distribute orders across multiple devices/staff
Device Role Management¶
- Any device can start orders: No device-specific restrictions
- Flexible assignments: Staff can switch between devices as needed

Troubleshooting Common Issues¶
Order Synchronization Problems¶
- Check network connectivity if orders don't appear on other devices
- Restart app if synchronization fails
- Verify POS connection through app status indicators
- Contact IT support for persistent connectivity issues
Menu Item Issues¶
- Refresh menu if items appear unavailable
- Check Simphony sync for missing menu items
- Verify pricing updates from POS system
- Report menu discrepancies to management
Multi-Device Coordination Problems¶
- Restart all devices if team coordination fails
- Check network status on all devices
