Create a DataSet

The next step is to create a DataSet.    This contains preconfigured routing settings for bagel/coffee items.

If you wish to use a Pre-configured Preset instead, please consult  the section on Pre-configured Presets.

You will find templates in the DemoSoftware and Datasets folder. The selection that is being made will be based off requirements. Once you have concluded which template is appropriate:

  1. Right click, select Extract All.
  2. Copy the Folder.
  3. Go to This PC in Explorer.
  4. Change your View to Display Hidden Folders.
  5. Under C:\ProgramData, navigate to QSR Automations.
  6. Connect smrat.
  7. Click Kitchen Server.
  8. Click Datasets.
  9. Paste the Folder within this folder.
  10. Rename it as required.

Return to Kitchen Builder Pro.

You will see a prompt to select an order set:

  1. Choose: Open an existing dataset.
  2. Select the dataset that you just created and renamed.
  3. Click Continue.

The left-hand side will display the routing settings.

  1. Navigate to Routing Categories.
    1. Routing categories are used to direct specific items to specific screens.
    2. You will be using the Department ID from this screen to enter into BackOffice.
    3. Click Apply.
    4. Click Okay.
  1. Navigate to Routing Schemes. This is where you will set the items to assign to the selecting routing categories to a particular routing scheme.
  2. Once you have completed, click Apply.
  3. Click Ok.
  1. Navigate to the Activity Levels tab.
  2. This is where you will create your screen for the Xceed and eXpert devices.
    1. The templates that you are not using should be removed from the Kitchen Stations tab.

    2. Open the first keypad.
      1. The way the OrderReady screen works is that there are two columns. One for the order while it is being made, and one for when the order is ready for pick-up.
      2. On the bump bar, the top row is always for the waiting orders, and the bottom bar is always for the bumping of orders from the top bar.
      3. All settings pertaining to the bump bar can be adjusted on this screen.
      4. Click Apply.
      5. Click Save.

Navigate to the Chef Screen.

  1. Set the Station ID to match the ID that you previously created.
  2. Double click on the screen.
  3. You may name the screen sections here.

Under the Input Tab, you will be assigning the top row of the keypad to manage customer waiting orders.

  1. Under Station 1: Virtual Keypads, select Waiting Orders.
  2. Under the Routing tab, if you have different routings, you will select the appropriate routing for this screen.
  3. Under the Bumping tab, you are going to select the screen that you are bumping the orders to.
  4. The Bump From and Bump To Screen:
    1. You must have two screens checked off in this case, Order Ready on Customer Screen, and Order Ready on Chef Screen. This indicates that when a Chef is bumping an item off the Chef Screen, it appears in the Order Ready section of the Customer Screen.
    2. Click OK.
    3. Double click in the bottom section of the screen now.
    4. Under the Input Tab, you will assign the Bottom Row of the Keypad to the Customer Order Ready screen.
    5. Under the Routing tab, you won’t have anything checked off here, because you don’t want things to appear in this section unless they have already been bumped.
    6. Under the Bumping tab, you are going to make sure under Bump From: Customer Order Ready, and Bump To: no selection.
    7. Click Done.
    8. Click Apply.
    9. Click Ok.

Organize the Order Ready Screen

This screen works the same way.

You will now have to send these changes to the screens themselves.

  1. Click Tools.
  2. Select Copy Current to Runtime.
  3. Click Ok.
  4. Restart both your servers in the Services app.
  5. Hit Refresh.

Using Pre-configured DataSet Presets

These Datasets are preconfigured routing schemes.  These are .XML files featuring configurations for routing to specific terminal configurations. 

For example, a site set up with 2 Coffee Monitors and 1 Bagel monitor makes use of a preset that we have labelled "2Coffee1Bagel.zip".  If you do not have datasets downloaded, go to Dropbox, and download the corresponding Dataset.

These files can be found here:  

https://www.dropbox.com/work/Volante/install/thirdpartyapps%26manuals/qsr_csk_xceed/DemoSoftware%20and%20Datasets


"2 Coffee Monitor and 1 Bagel Monitor Setup" Example

https://www.dropbox.com/s/93pclza75lmvf39/2Coffee1Bagel.zip?dl=0

(If not from Volante, and you wish to request additional DataSet files, please contact Volante Support and request the configuration type required).

This DataSet is essentially a template for Bagel and Coffee monitors, complete with the appropriate IDs for mapping. 

For this example, download the DataSet  for 2Coffee1Bagel.zip.  These will be your datasets in use if you are not creating new ones.

  1. Copy your dataset from the downloaded location.
  2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\QSR Automations\ConnectServers\KitchenServer\Datasets.  Paste 1Coffee1Bagel in this directory.
  3. Now open Kitchen Builder Pro.
  4. Upon startup, you will see a prompt to select an order set:
    1. Choose: Open an existing dataset.
    2. Select the dataset that was created and renamed.
    3. Click Continue.
