Getting started
Opening the PDA
To open the PDA, the phone or tablet has to be connected to the restaurant's Wi-Fi.
PizzaGest generates an access QR code: scan it with the device's camera and the PDA opens in the browser. You will see a screen like this one:
On this screen you can:
Choose the language: tap Español, Català or English. You can also change it later, with the flag at the top right of every screen.
Log in: takes you to the employee login screen.
The language only changes what the waiter sees. The ticket that reaches the kitchen stays the same.
To avoid scanning the QR code every time, save the page to your browser's favorites or add it to the device's home screen.
Logging in
After tapping Log in on the start screen, the Employee login screen appears:
Enter your employee code on the keypad and tap Log in.
Clear: deletes the whole code.
Delete arrow: deletes only the last digit.
If the code is correct, the PDA greets you by name. Tap Continue to go to the Orders screen. If the name shown is not yours, tap Not me to go back.
If you cannot log in, the PDA tells you why:
The employee does not exist: the code does not match any employee. Tap Back and enter it again.
The employee has not clocked in: the employee exists but has not clocked in yet. Clock in on PizzaGest and try again.
Employees with manager access can use the PDA without clocking in.
Exiting the PDA
At the end of your shift, or whenever you put the device away, exit the PDA so that nobody else can take orders under your name.
On the Orders screen, tap the arrow at the top left to go back to the employee login screen, and there tap Exit PizzaGest.
The PDA confirms that it has been closed. The Log in again button takes you back to the start screen.
If only the waiter is changing, there is no need to exit: go back to the login screen and enter the other employee's code.
