Mr Yum is an ordering service which allows customers to place orders from their table using their own smart-phone device.
Each table will contain a QR Code that Customers will scan with their own mobile device.
Their device will then display the menu for your Venue from the Mr Yum site and display the items that you have available to order.
The Customer will select the items they wish to order then they'll pay for them from their device.
Once payment has been processed, the order will be sent to the Kitchen Docket Printer (provided that Automatically Send Orders to Kitchen Printers is enabled), ready for preparation by the Chef.
The order will arrive into the Idealpos terminal as a Web Order and will be displayed at the top of the POS Screen (provided that auto-finalise Pre-Paid Orders is not enabled).
This process is all web-based and the Customer does not need to download or install any app on their device.

In order to use the Mr Yum Interface in Idealpos Online, an ECommerce Interface needs to be added to your Idealpos Online Subscription. Doing this will enable access to the eCommerce tab in Idealpos Online.
If you've already added the eCommerce Interface to your Idealpos Online subscription and can see the eCommerce tab, you can skip this section and move onto the next section below which goes through setting up the Mr Yum Interface.
Login to Idealpos Online by going to https://online.idealpos.com.au/app/login
Enter the registered email address and password.
Once logged in, click on "Settings" located at the bottom-left corner of the page.
Within the "Subscriptions" tab, select the "Update Plan" button next to the Subscription that contains the Terminal which will process orders received by Mr Yum.
The Pricing screen will appear. Press the '+' button on the ECommerce Interfaces row to increase the ECommerce Interfaces to the number of required ECommerce Interfaces.
If required, the '-' button can be used to decrease the number of ECommerce Interfaces. Typically, you'll use one interface for each POS Terminal, however, it should be noted that it is possible to configure multiple eCommerce Integrations for a single POS Terminal. If multiple terminals will be used to process orders that are placed via your eCommerce site, ensure that you select the required number of ECommerce Interfaces. Press the "Accept" button once you have finished selecting the required number of ECommerce Interfaces.
Shortly after Accepting the change to your plan, you will return to the Subscriptions tab and you will see that the eCommerce tab is now displayed on the far-right side of the Settings page.

Table Section: Table Section allows orders from a specific Table Section in the venue (e.g. Indoor, Outdoor, Bar, Restaurant, etc.) to be processed to an assigned POS Terminal. By utilising the Table Section functionality, multiple services can be setup in Idealpos Online using the same Location ID. Note that if the Table Section functionality is required, it will need to be setup by the provider (e.g. Mr Yum) and the details will need to be provided to Idealpos to configure within the eCommerce Setup.
- If only one service is setup in Idealpos eCommerce and the Table Section is left blank, all orders will be received by the POS Terminal configured for that service.
- If the Table Section is populated, when eCommerce orders are received by Idealpos, they are checked for that Table Section tag. If a match is found, an order is received. E.g. ROOFTOP. Multiple Table Sections can be added to a single Order Service separated with a semicolon (;). E.g. ROOFTOP; GARDEN.

Automatically Send Orders to Kitchen Printers: Enabled/Ticked
Automatically Finalise Pre-Paid Web Orders: Enabled/Ticked. Important Note: This will auto-finalise the orders, meaning that a Web Orders button will not appear at the top of the POS Screen after a Mr Yum order is received. Ensure that this what the Venue wants, otherwise, this option can be disabled so they can manage received Mr Yum orders via the Web Orders button.
Play Sound When Orders Arrive: This is optional, but can be configured to draw attention of the Clerk after a Mr Yum order has been received by the POS Terminal.
If the Text Value of the Sale Types needs to be modified, this can be done by going to Sales, then entering the required values under "Sale Type Status".
