Prerequisites¶
Before implementing Muneris Mobile Ordering with Oracle Simphony, verify your system meets the following requirements and complete necessary setup tasks.
Oracle Simphony System Requirements¶
STS Capability Requirements¶
- Oracle Simphony system with STS (Simphony Transaction Service) capability
- Oracle Reporting & Analytics suite - STS is part of this package
- Cloud STS deployment support - Currently required for Muneris integration
Version Compatibility¶
Contact Oracle to verify your Simphony version supports STS Cloud functionality required for mobile ordering integration.
STS Licensing Requirements¶
License Scope¶
- Per Revenue Center (RVC): STS license required for each RVC that mobile ordering will access
- Property Coverage: All RVCs used for mobile ordering need appropriate STS licensing
- Oracle Reporting & Analytics licensing: Required as STS is part of this suite
Licensing Planning¶
- Identify Target RVCs: Determine which Revenue Centers will support mobile ordering
- License Allocation: Ensure sufficient STS licenses for all identified RVCs
- Future Expansion: Consider licensing for future RVC additions
Contact Oracle for specific STS licensing information and requirements.
Employee Setup Requirements¶
Employee Configuration Needs¶
For employees (waiters) to use Muneris mobile ordering:
- Property Assignment: Employee must be assigned to the property where mobile ordering will be used
- Operator Records: Employee must have operator record in each Revenue Center (RVC) they will use with mobile ordering
- Access Permissions: Employee permissions must allow POS operations in assigned RVCs
Employee Planning¶
- Identify Mobile Ordering Staff: Determine which employees will use mobile ordering functionality
- RVC Access Requirements: Map employee access needs to specific Revenue Centers
- Permission Validation: Verify employees have appropriate POS operation permissions
EMC Access Requirements¶
Required Permissions¶
Ensure appropriate user roles and permissions for configuring mobile ordering settings:
- Employee Configuration: Access to modify employee property assignments and operator records
- Workstation Configuration: Permissions to enable STS Cloud and configure RVC access
- Revenue Center Configuration: Access to enable STS Cloud on RVCs and configure tip percentages
- Menu Configuration: Permissions to modify Tag Groups, Tags, and menu item assignments
- Tender Media Configuration: Access to create and configure payment type settings
Administrative Access¶
- EMC Administrator Role: Recommended for comprehensive mobile ordering configuration
- Configuration Change Authority: Ensure permissions allow necessary system modifications
- Property-Level Access: Verify access to all properties requiring mobile ordering setup
Network and Connectivity¶
Oracle Cloud Connectivity¶
- Internet Connectivity: Reliable internet connection for STS Cloud communication
- Oracle Datacenter Access: Network configuration must allow connection to Oracle cloud services
- Firewall Configuration: Ensure firewall settings permit STS Cloud communication
SignalR Connection Requirements¶
- Reverse Proxy Support: STS Cloud uses SignalR connections (similar to TeamViewer architecture)
- Connection Persistence: Network must support persistent connections to Oracle datacenter
Next Steps¶
After verifying these prerequisites:
- STS Setup - Configure STS deployment and API user access
- EMC Configuration - Complete employee and system configuration
