Program & Installation Manual

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Manual supersedes the information contained within the UP5700 Version 4 Upgrade Manual. The
information contained in this manual shows the use program & configuration of the Waitermate Terminal,
in conjunction with the UP5300/5700

Waitermate

The Waitermate is a Hand-Held RF (Radio Frequency) order entry terminal. Its interfacing to the
UP5700 allows remote ordering to the UP5700 system. The interface has been developed so that all
programming of the Waitermate Terminal is done from a specified machine on the POS System. The
program that is created for the Waitermate is identical to that on the POS Terminal. The Products and
lists from the POS are used to create the files needed for the Waitermate. NO pricing is held on the
Waitermate, only Lists and products.

As the Waitermate is not as sophisticated as the POS Terminal certain restrictions have to be adhered
to when programming the POS. The restrictions listed below should be noted in order to create resilient
operation.
