The basic information provides the initial information about an outlet.

7.1.1 Name: Assigning a unique name to an outlet is very important and necessary. This distinguishes one outlet from another.

7.1.2 Long and short descriptions of the outlet should also be included for clarification purposes.

7.1.3 Time zone: This should be set to the current time where the outlet is located.

7.1.4 Options: On the basic information section of an outlet it is also important to turn on Published. Otherwise, the outlet will not be displayed at the cashiers’ interface of the PoS. It will be hidden.

7.1.4.1 Publishing an Outlet

1. Select the outlet that is to be published from the lists of outlets.

2. At the right-hand side of the page under the Options section, turn Publication on.

   

7.1.5 Initial Status Order: Administrators are expected to set the initial status of customers’ orders at a particular outlet, to determine whether the order will be in the received state, preparation state, ready state, or completed state as at the time the order was made. Once an outlet has been created, the Initial Status order is set to the Default state. This can be changed depending on the agreement between the Merchant using the PoS and Yonoton.

7.1.6 Payment Capture Status: The status of the payment should be indicated by the administrator. Payment Capture Status indicates the status at which the Merchant will receive the payment for orders requested by customers. There are two available options, they include:

1. Ready: when the Payment Capture Status is set to Ready, it means that the Merchant account will receive the customer's payment as soon as the customer has placed an order.
2. Completed: when the Payment Capture Status is set to Completed, it means that the customer’s payment will only be transferred to the Merchant’s account after the Order Status has been completed.

7.1.7 Delivery:

• If an outlet offers delivery services, the maximum time for delivery and default preparation time should also be indicated by typing out the numbers.
• Pickup delivery should be turned on if customers are allowed to go to the outlet to physically pick up their orders.
• If customers can make an order and be served on their seats, seat delivery should be turned on.
