What Is It Used For? ▲ ▼
OrderAway Profiles provide Venues with the added functionality of being able to configure multiple customised OrderAway configurations (referred to as Additional Profiles) for the same OrderAway Location.
For example, a Venue may seek to make different Menus available to patrons depending on where they are located within the Venue. For example, a patron ordering from an outside bar area may only have access to beverage and snack type menu Items, whereas a patron ordering from a restaurant area may require access to the food menu.
Another example maybe, a Venue may seek to make different OrderAway Profiles available to patrons at different times. For example, at Easter and Xmas, a different menu and appearance maybe required to be presented to patrons when ordering during these special occasions.
In support of this, 3 types of Profiles currently exist. These are:
- The Default Config - This is the default configuration and once configured can be used to clone (overwrite) to anyone of the other types of Profiles.
- The Primary Profile - This is the Venue's main Profile and as such cannot be deleted.
- Additional Profiles - These are the customised configurations created specifically by the Venue to be made available to patrons as required. Any number of Profiles can be created by a Venue, and as such can also be deleted. These Profiles use the same URL as the Primary Profile above; however, they are differentiated with their own unique suffix, which is configured when they are created. Refer to How To Create A Profile for more information.
Initially only the Default Config and the Primary Profile would be listed by default for a Venue.
