How to mark an item as out of stock

In your browser, type

https://ecms.tabsquare.com

and login using the username and password provided.

 

 

Select “Items”

Select “Advanced Search”

 

Start typing the item name you which to find and select it from the drop down list.

 

Once selected, click on “Search”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Depending on whether the item is out of stock or not, click on the “Stock In” or “Stock Out” buttons.

 

**Stock in = Items are in stock.

**Stock Out = Items are out of stock.



If the item is marked as “Stock Out” it will display as “SOLD OUT”.

 

 

 

 

Its important that items are marked out of stock on Table Ordering before POS as this will cause errors if an order is placed.

If the item you would like to mark as out of stock is a SKU under a main item, for example you would like to mark a “White Hot Chocolate” out of stock but leave the other Hot Chocolate’s in stock, follow the below steps.

 

Search for the item you would like to mark out of stock and press the blue “edit” button

 

On the window that pops up navigate to the SKU tab

 

On the SKU that you would like to mark out of stock tick the “Stockout” box.

 

This will then only mark the “White Chocolate” version of the Hot Chocolate as out of stock.

 

Enable and Customize Customer Wait Times

Tabsquare has an ability for the store to show a wait time to all customers during busy periods.

 

From the ECMS Tabsquare portal expand the sidebar and press “Smartweb Settings” then “Seating Time”

 

You can enable the wait times for either Dine In Order at Table or Take Away Click Collect.

 

Once enabled you can select the expected wait time, along with a duration of that wait time. Once the duration is selected you will see an “Active Until” option.

After this “Active Until” time the Wait Time will turn off and customers will not be prompted about any wait times.

 

Merchant Console and Troubleshooting

Viewing Orders

Live Orders

The Merchant Console is helpful to keep track of the orders or see if there are any rejected orders.

 

In your browser, type “http://console-ecms.tabsquare.com“ and login using the same username and password shared.

 

All the successful orders will be displayed in the “Live” Tab. Once a successful.

Marking orders as delivered.


You can mark items as delivered. Moving them from Live to delivered section of the console if you wish.

 

To do this click on Delivered in the top right of item.

 

Future Orders

Future Orders will appear in the consoled under Future Orders with a loud repetitive beep and move to Live when approximately 15 minutes prior to being due Future orders are only when a customer orders through Click Collect.

 

An example of an order with the time selection is not NOW this will come through as a Future Order and display on KDS as Order Ahead.

 

Missing Orders / Lost Orders

An issue has been identified where in a small instance of cases orders will not be delivered to the store in either rejected or successful state.

The cause has been narrowed down to connectivity issues on the customer side. To help highlight these orders a separate process is being run to push these orders to Pending in console.

The process runs once every 5 minutes but it may take longer for this to appear. If a customer lets you know a order has been processed you can check this tab.

 

If the customer still wants the order you can press the Tick button which will send the order through to the store and confirm the payment. Once confirmed the order will move to the Live tab

In order to confirm the payment the Tick must be pressed on the day. If the customer has paid again press the cross to refund the order.

 

Automatic Refund Of Uncaptured Orders

 

If an order does not get captured in the store within a certain amount of time, the customer will initially notice their available funds are reduced, but this is an authorization hold. If this order is not captured within 7 days, the hold on the funds will be released.

 

The customer’s banking app will not show that a refund has been processed, but their available funds will go back to the original amount prior to placing the order from table

For more information, please see the below information from Stripe:
