If the internet goes down

What you will see, and what to do.

1. 1

   A red bar appears

   It says there is no internet and that orders and payments are not going through. It goes away by itself when the connection is back.

2. 2

   Nothing you already saved is lost

   Orders and bills sent before the internet dropped are safe.

3. 3

   What you typed is kept

   If you tap Send or Take payment with no internet, it tells you nothing was sent and keeps what you entered. Tap again when the bar is gone.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, write it down

   Take orders on paper and bills by hand. Enter them when the internet is back.

5. 5

   A mobile hotspot helps

   Switch your phone's hotspot on and connect the till and the kitchen screen to it until the café's internet is fixed.

Tip: Cafés with a flaky connection do well with a cheap second SIM or hotspot kept charged behind the counter.
