Installing Order Notifier
The Order Notifier application allows you to receive orders on a Windows-based PC or Point-of-Sale system. The system requirements and prerequisites are as follows:
- Microsoft Windows Operating System
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4 or Greater (the install will notify if this is missing; can be downloaded from Microsoft's official website here)
- The internet must be accessible from the intended system and port 443 must be open (can test by accessing our main website here from a web browser on the intended system. If the website works, the install should work)
You will also need a restaurant and login on the Paytronix Online Ordering system.
You can download the OrderManagement.msi installer by clicking this link.
- Once downloaded, launch the installer.
NOTE: You will be notified at this time if you do not have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed. This can be downloaded from Microsoft's official website here.
-
Once installed, launch the application and proceed to log in with Paytronix Online Ordering credentials of a user who is an administrator for the intended restaurant.
-
Select the desired restaurant.
-
Configure the size and location of where the order details should appear. In the "Configure Size" window, you can click and drag the corners to cater to your screen.
TIP: If you toggle "Advanced", there are additional options you can set -- such as font size. -
Close the "Configure" window and tap / click the on screen "Online" button. We're ready to run a local test order to ensure the appearance looks good. You'll notice an alert at the top of the window that looks as follows:
- When the alert is acknowledged, the following should appear at the location you configured in step 4.
-
Now we can navigate to our restaurant and place a live test order. You may do so by navigating to opendining.net, logging into your account, and choosing "Menu" in the top navigation. You'll notice a button in the lower left of the webpage that states, "Preview Menu". From here, you can place a mock order to ensure the order reaches the Order Management application.
Troubleshooting Tips
Installation Issues
- Ensure that the Microsoft .NET Framework 4+ is installed. (The install will notify if this is required; can be downloaded from Microsoft's official website here.)
- Check that you are running the most recent version of the application:
- Navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\Online Ordering\Order Management (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Online Ordering\Order Management)
- Run WyUpdate.exe. NOTE: You may be prompted to close processes if the application is running.
Not Receiving Orders Through Order Notifier
Often times, the windows event logs are a great place to start.
- Run Event Viewer (Start -> Run prompt &rarr eventvwr)
- Select "Windows Logs" -> "Application" to view the Application log.
- If you notice errors associated with a Source of OrderingService, you'll want to note these and copy them into a reply for support. The date and timestamp of the event will usually coincide around the time of the order.
