What Is It?      

Like OrderAway, TouchMini connects to an on-premises swiftpos installation via the swiftpos Cloud activated in the Back Office. This enables a secure, VPN-less, In-Venue initiated connection between TouchMini and the on-premises swiftpos installed system using the swiftpos API.

 


Why Is It Needed?      

SwiftPOS TouchMini offers Venues a seamless web-based platform for in-Venue ordering and order payment capabilities using a mix of device types. Simple to implement the TouchMini platform aims to elevate the patron experience and at the same time provide Venues with the convenience of offering queue busting ordering and payment capabilities.

To Be Considered      

Recommendations      

Consideration should be given to the following:

  • Member Campaigns
    • It is recommended to ensure the Keep the member signed in option is NOT selected when Member Campaigns are to be applied for Members placing Orders. With the Keep the member signed in option selected, there is NO guarantee Member Campaigns will be applied.
  • Payments
    • Points Accounts - Currently TouchMini v2 is limited to only the 1st Points Account. Support for multiple Loyalty Point buckets is coming soon. Given this if a Venue wants to use ePurse points in TouchMini v2, it is recommended to do the following:

 

Not Supported      

The following is NOT supported in relation to:

  • Service
  • Payments
    • Points Accounts - Currently TouchMini v2 is limited to only the 1st Points Account. Support for multiple Loyalty Point buckets is coming soon. Given this if a Venue wants to use ePurse points in TouchMini v2, it is recommended to do the following:

The following limitations currently apply to TouchMini:

  • Points Accounts - Currently TouchMini is limited to only the 1st Points Account. Support for multiple Loyalty Point buckets is coming soon. Given this if a Venue wants to use ePurse points in TouchMini, it is recommended to do the following:
  • Unlike OrderAway which loads Products and Pricing each time a Menu is accessed, TouchMini caches the Products and Pricing of each menu for the TouchMini UI. This may mean that cached data that is available to the TouchMini UI becomes invalid as a result of :
    • Happy Hour Pricing
    • Location Default Pricing changes.
    • Scheduled Price Level changes.
    • Product Pricing has changes.
    • Menu Layout changes.
    • Post Linking changes.
  • Refer to Availability of Order/Sale Features Overview available in Touch, TouchMini, OrderAway, Kiosk and Web Store.

 

Notes...



Besides manually refreshing the TouchMini device's cache, currently the cache is refreshed automatically at intervals of every 15 minutes. For example, At 10:00, 10:15, 10:30, 10:45, 11:00, 11:15, etc. Obviously, as a result of the 15 minute interval refresh, Products and Pricing differences may result, and may differ from those available via swiftpos Touch and OrderAway.

 


How Is It Used?      

TouchMini can be implemented in a Venue by following the steps outlined in the GETTING STARTED topic.

Once implemented and configured TouchMini can be operated in a Venue.
