Functionality
TOP is designed to be a consumer friendly user facing application,
Accessing TOP
TOP is designed to be accessed by consumers themselves by scanning a QR code or tapping on an NFC tab which encodes a URL which then redirects them to the TOP application. This URL is unique and embeds all the identifiable information it needs to know in order to run i.e. Tenant, Location and Table number.
See Self-Serve Admin Shops section for more details on the URL and QR code generation.
Unless you have a supported Payment Provider setup, you will be unable to use TOP. For more details on how to set this up, see Payment Providers.
Home View
When a user has scanned a QR code/visited the URL they will land on the Home View.
The Home View is how customers select the items they want to order through the TOP.
The TOP will always display the Landing Group for the selected store as the start point for this navigation. This hierarchy and navigation can be further expanded upon and fully customised using the Composer Groups functionality in Visual Composer.
You can choose to drill into the sub groups (black tiles) to see another layer of the hierarchy, or you can use the +/- buttons to add your items to the basket. If you press the + on an item which is a Bundle or has Modifiers, you will be asked to make your selections before adding to the basket.
TOP is aware of your current stock levels. So if you run out of stock it will display Sold Out on the Tile and will be unavailable for selection by a customer.
There are various ways a customer can navigate within the page.
You can also use the Search bar to find an item to add to your basket.
On screen navigation - If you have Bundle Groups set up, you will see navigation buttons appear when in those groups. For example Home > Drinks > Pepsi / Sprite / Coke. you can use this to return to the Home Screen or to a section by selecting on the POS.
Information Button - This button will show the user your Terms and Conditions, FAQ, Delivery Information and Privacy Policy, if you have them configured. Currently, only Consultants are able to add this content but user functionality for this is coming very soon.
Table Number- It also displays the Table number which it extracts from the scanned URL.
Product Information - Any tile with the i symbol means there is some more information you might want to see for an item. It also indicates that there may be Bundle Groups or Modifiers for the item when selected.
Basket Button - The basket button shows you how many items you have in your basket. You can press the button to view the basket, which you have to do in order to proceed to Payment.
Items, Bundles and Modifiers
When you add a Bundle or Modifiable item to your basket, you will be prompted to make the relevant selections before adding them to the basket.
If your Bundle main item has Modifiers linked to it, it will automatically take you to the Modifiers tab if you wish to make any alterations.
Non-bundled items with Modifiers will only show you the Modifiers.
The min max rule for selections is displayed next to the Modifier title, You will also see any additional prices for the modifiers.
Modifications that you make get printed on the order confirmation slip and also make their way through to the Order Status Display to be used in the order preparation area.

Basket
The Basket screen is a listing of all of your items, along with any bundle selections and modifiers you have made. They are grouped together, so if you have made more than one item with the same selections and modifiers they will be on the same basket line. It clearly denotes the extended price of the basket line and also displays the quantity multiplied by the single item price.
Edit Line - You can use the pencil icon for the basket line to make alterations to that line (change modifiers or bundle selections)
