Exit the System
The Exit the System button closes PizzaGest without closing the shift or doing the daily closing. Use it to exit the program on a station while the shift day is still open.
How to get here: menu Exit. The System Shutdown window opens; in it, the Exit the System button.
Exiting the system does not close the shift day. At the end of the day you have to do the Close Shift Day.
The System Shutdown window
When you click Exit in the main menu, this window appears, with one button for each way of exiting:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Exit the System | Exits PizzaGest without doing any closing. |
| Close Shift | Opens Close Shift. Then it asks "Do you want to exit the System?". |
| Close Shift Day | Does the Close Shift Day of the shift day and exits. |
| Close Cash Register | Does the cash count. |
| Stop Web or Start Web | Stops or starts the reception of orders. It is explained in Start Web. |
| Cancel | Closes the window and returns to PizzaGest. It is explained in Cancel. |
When you move the mouse over a button, the window title explains what it does.
Close Shift and Close Shift Day are only enabled on the server. Close Shift also depends on the employee's access level.
You can also use the keyboard: S for Exit the System, T for Close Shift, D for Close Shift Day, C for Close Cash Register and Esc to cancel.
If there is an unfinished inventory
Before showing the window, PizzaGest checks whether there is an inventory pending completion. If there is, it warns you that it will be lost when the shift day is closed and asks whether you want to exit anyway. With No, you do not exit.
If there are terminals still open
On the main server, PizzaGest first checks whether any other station is still connected. If so, a window appears with the title "There are still … terminals to close" and the list Terminals pending closure.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Retry | Checks again whether there are terminals still open. Click it after closing them. |
| Exit the System | Exits PizzaGest without closing the terminals, after asking for confirmation. |
| Unconditional Shutdown | Forces all the terminals to close, after asking for confirmation. |
| Close Cash Register | Does the cash count. |
| Stop Web or Start Web | Stops or starts the reception of orders. |
| Cancel | Returns to PizzaGest without exiting. |
Exit the System and Unconditional Shutdown can cause data to be lost on the terminals that are still open. The right thing to do is to close all the stations first and click Retry.
