The till and the screens on the shop's network

The order, the QR and the kitchen tickets arrive directly, and the server carries on if the network drops.

The till talks to the screens beside it directly over the shop's network, rather than everything going to the server and back. The customer screen sees the order as the cashier rings it, and kitchen tickets arrive at once.

There is nothing to set: devices at the same branch on the same network find each other. If they cannot, everything carries on through the server as before, and older versions of the apps keep working through it.

1. Want to check? In the till's settings, the «الشبكة المحلية» (Local network) card lists each screen: «متصلة مباشرة» (Connected directly) or «عبر الخادم» (Through the server).
2. A screen shows «عبر الخادم» on the same network? Type its address in «عنوان شاشة (اختياري)» (A screen's address), such as 192.168.1.20, and press «أضف» (Add).

If the internet drops

The till keeps selling, tickets reach the kitchen screens over the shop's network, which show «بدون إنترنت — شبكة المحل» (No internet, local network). «جاهز» and «سُلّم» are kept and reach the server when it returns. Pre-orders and kiosk orders arrive when the internet does.
