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

  • Real-time updates: Changes appear immediately on all devices
  • 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

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
  • 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
  • Verify same property configuration across devices
  • Re-authenticate devices if coordination continues failing

The round-based ordering system and multi-device coordination enable efficient restaurant operations while maintaining integration with existing Oracle Simphony POS workflows.
