When using an above-store application to submit a curbside order, you must determine the check-in alert method to display a check-in message on a POS terminal running Aloha Takeout. This notifies the employee a check-in action occurred and the consumer is near or at the premises, waiting to receive their order.

To define the check-in alert behavior:

• With the Takeout Settings function still open, select the Options > Check In tab.

  

• Select one of the following from the 'Check in alert behavior' drop-down list:

  No alert — Indicates no check-in message appears on any Aloha POS terminal when a check-in action occurs. This is the default selection.

  Display notification on all terminals — Displays the check-in message on all Aloha POS terminals running Aloha Takeout when a check-in action occurs.

  Important: 'Display notification on all terminals' is the only check-in option supported with the Engage Mobile product.

  Display notification on all terminals — Displays the check-in message on the Aloha POS terminal from which you release Aloha Takeout orders.

  Display notification on list of terminals — Allows you to select from a list of Aloha POS terminals on which to display the check-in message. If you select this option and specify a terminal that does not have a logged in employee, the check-in message appears on all Aloha POS terminals.

• If you select 'Display notification on list of terminals,' additional options appear. Select the terminal to display the check-in alert from the 'Available' list and click >> to move the terminal to the 'Included' list.

  

• Click Save and continue to the next procedure.
