Description: This enhancement integrates the hawking module to the Point of Sale so that Hawkers can configure to accept all payment methods available. Traditionally, Hawkers only accepted cash as a form of payment.
A Hawker can now use activate to process transactions using available payment methods. These transactions are automatically pulled into the Hawking module and accounted for during closeout, making end of event settlement and reconciliation, extremely efficient.
Terms
- Hawker: Common in Stadiums and Arenas, this is someone who walks around selling food and drinks to fans.
- Employee Account: An Activate login account for a Hawker
Before You Begin
An employee account(s) for the Hawker must exist before proceeding. Each Hawker Account in the Hawking module will be mapped to a unique Activate login to track orders completed by Hawker on POS.
Connect Setup - Hawking Module
-
Navigate to Hawking -> Setup
-
Select Hawker and set the “Accept all Tenders” flag to yes and save.
Hawker Transactions
Loads created for Hawkers where “accept all tenders” is enabled shall automatically be set to 'On Loan”. Loads are issued as needed, but any cash payments can only be processed during the closeout process.
Close Out Process
When a Hawker transaction closeout is initiated, the system will automatically calculate and display, the item qty sold on the POS as “Credit Qty”. The balance is automatically adjusted, and payments received from the POS (Activate/iWeb) are displayed as other payments and deducted from the amount due.
Hardware Considerations
Both Activate Classic and X platforms are supported.
