Making a store active with Aloha Takeout
Aloha Configuration Center makes use of an "active stores" list to stipulate when a store is ready to begin using Aloha Takeout, meaning all configuration is complete, equipment is in place, and employees are trained. The use of the active stores list makes it possible to hide Aloha Takeout functionality at stores that do not offer takeout or delivery services, as well as leave a store as inactive until you are ready for takeout operations. Once you add a store to the active stores list, you can export the configuration to that store and the store can begin using Aloha Takeout immediately following the next refresh.
Tip: Active stores only apply to Aloha Configuration Center. Skip this procedure, if you are using Aloha Manager. After you enable Aloha Takeout in Configuration Center, and complete the configuration, you must make Aloha Takeout active, to begin exporting configuration options for each store. In the case of Aloha Takeout, CFC updates the AlohaToGoConfig.xml each time you perform a refresh, overwriting the existing configuration at the store.
Tip: When you run the Configuration Utility, the system automatically makes the store active in the Active Stores function.
