Venue Setup Wizard

What is it for?

The Venue Setup Wizard gets your venue ready on a single page, in numbered steps, the first time you turn on the restaurant or hotel module: profile, departments, request types (rooms for hotels), staff, delay rules and daily tasks. Every step has its form inside the wizard, so you fill everything in without leaving the page. The page title is Venue Setup Wizard, with your venue name underneath.

The same wizard has two modes: restaurant mode and hotel mode. Both are covered on this page.

Venue Setup Wizard overview

When do I use it?

Before you start

Three ways to open the wizard

  1. Automatically: when you first create the restaurant, or open Restaurant Management for a restaurant with no requests and no task records yet, the panel sends you to the wizard once. For hotels, Request Management does the same once while there are no requests. It does not force it again in the same session.

    Wizard

  2. On Restaurant Management, click Setup wizard to the right of the tabs. (Hotel Request Management has a button with the same name.)

    Setup wizard link on Restaurant Management

  3. Go to Settings → Module Permissions, and in the Business Modules card click Setup wizard on the Restaurant Portal or Hotel Portal row. If the module has never been set up, the row says Not set up · Set up; Set up takes you to the Restaurant Management create screen, and after you enter the business name and click Create the wizard opens.

Step by step: restaurant mode

The step numbers below match the screen. Steps 1-4 are required; 5 and 6 are optional.

  1. Restaurant profile. If there is no profile yet, the card shows a box: type the business name (for example Sea Cafe) and click Create. Creating it also sets up 4 ready request types (Call waiter, Request bill, Cleaning, Fault), ready points and ready daily tasks. If the profile exists, the card shows its name; click Edit to change it and other settings (opens Restaurant Management).

    Step 1: business name and Create button

  2. Departments. Requests and staff are routed by department. The fastest way is Add restaurant departments: it creates Cleaning, Technical, Waiter and Kitchen at once and leaves existing ones untouched. To add your own, type it in Department name (for example Bar) and click Add. Existing departments appear as small tags on the card.

    Step 2: Add restaurant departments button

  3. Request types. Each request type has a department box next to it; a new request goes to that department's staff. Pick the right department on each row and click Save. For a new type, type the name in e.g. Take order, choose a department and click Add. If some types have no department, the card says "2 of them have no department: those requests cannot be routed".

    Step 3: request type to department mapping

  4. Staff. At least one manager is required. Enter Name, optional Last Name and mobile number (for example 5321234567), pick the role (Manager (manages staff + assignments) or Staff (handles requests/orders)), tick one or more Department(s), and click Add. The password is generated automatically and sent to the person (SMS when the panel is in Turkish, WhatsApp when in English). Staff sign in to the app with this number. The card shows a count such as "3 staff · 1 managers".

    Step 4: add staff form

  5. Delay rules (SLA) (optional). If a request is not picked up or not completed in time, the manager is notified. Choose the department (All departments covers all), the stage (Not picked up / Not completed), type the Time (min) (default 15), tick Also send SMS if you want, and click Add. Without rules no notifications are created.

    Step 5: add an SLA rule

  6. Daily tasks (optional). Recurring work such as temperature checks, restroom rounds and closing checklists. Ready tasks are installed when the restaurant is created, so this card has no form; it shows the number of active tasks. To change tasks click Edit (or Edit tasks if none exist); the Daily Tasks tab of Operations opens.

    Step 6: daily tasks card

  7. QR menu card. In a restaurant the page guests use is the QR menu. If you have a menu, its address (https://menu.useroam.com/...) and an Edit menu button appear; if the menu is closed you see "The menu is currently closed: guests cannot see it." Without a menu there is a Create digital menu button; a menu is optional. Details: Setting up the QR menu from start to finish.

    QR menu card with the menu address

  8. Verify the setup. Click Create test request. The panel writes a sample request you can see under Restaurant Management → Requests with the Closed filter, and in the mobile app. The test record is created as closed: delay rules only scan open requests, so no SMS or notification is triggered. While a test record exists, a Delete test record (1) button appears; click it after testing. If the restaurant has no request types, the test button is disabled.

    Verify the setup card and Create test request button

  9. When all required steps are done, the bottom card says "All required steps are complete. Your venue is ready to use." Click Go to restaurant panel.

    Setup complete message and Go to restaurant panel button

Step by step: hotel mode

If the venue has a hotel, click Hotel Portal in the top band (or open the address /venue-kurulum?m=otel). Under the title you see Hotel module setup or the hotel name. Steps 1-4 are required; 5 and 6 are optional.

Switching to hotel mode with the Hotel Portal button

  1. Hotel profile. If there is none, type the business name and click Create; the hotel name and guest portal code are created here. If it exists, Edit opens the guest portal settings.

    Hotel profile step

  2. Departments. Click Add hotel departments: Housekeeping, Technical, Restaurant and Front Desk are created at once and existing ones are left untouched. Automatic assignment only recognises these built-in departments. Your own departments get a yellow triangle, and the card says "3 of them are not connected to automatic assignment" plus "Marked departments are not recognised by hotel auto-assignment; those requests reach nobody. Install the hotel set, your own departments stay on the list." What to do: click Add hotel departments; your own departments are not deleted.

    Hotel departments and the auto-assignment warning

  3. Rooms. A guest request is tied to a room. For numbered rooms type the first and last number in Room range (for example 101 and 120 creates 20 rooms; max 300 at once) and click Create rooms. For names with letters (A101, Suite-3, Lobby) type one name per line in the large box below, or paste the room column from Excel (max 500 at once), and click Add list.

    Room range and Create rooms button

  4. Staff. Same form as step 4 in restaurant mode. At least one manager is required.

    Staff form

  5. Assignment rules (optional). Choose which request type goes to which department: the type on the left (Room Cleaning, Extra, Malfunction, Room Service, Late Check-out, Early Check-in), the department on the right (Housekeeping, Technical, Restaurant, Front Desk), then Add. Without a rule the request waits in the pool.

    Hotel assignment rule form

  6. Delay rules (SLA) (optional). In hotels a rule is set per request type, not per department: All request types, Room Cleaning, Malfunction or Room Service. Stage, Time (min) (default 30) and Also send SMS work as in restaurants.

    Hotel SLA rule form

  7. Guest portal card. Guests open this address from the QR code in the room and create requests (https://menu.useroam.com/o/...). If the hotel module is off, it says "The hotel module is currently off: guests cannot see this page." Print QR codes opens the Guest Portal settings and Edit appearance opens the hotel Studio. Below, the number of request types guests can choose is shown.

  8. Verify the setup and the final card work as in restaurant mode; here the test record goes to a room called TEST, in closed state. When done click Go to hotel panel.

Frequently asked questions

I finished the wizard. Will opening it again reset anything?

No. The wizard never resets anything; it only looks at your data and shows what is missing. If you later delete something, that step shows as missing again.

I added a staff member but no password arrived.

Make sure you typed the number as 10 digits without the leading 0 (for example 5321234567). The password goes by SMS if your panel is in Turkish and by WhatsApp if in English. To give a new password, edit the person on the Staff screen.

Why is the test request not among waiting requests?

It is created closed on purpose so nobody gets notified. It shows under the Closed or All filter.

Where is the guest request page for my restaurant?

For restaurants the guest surface is the QR menu: the table QR opens the menu, and from there guests can call a waiter, request the bill and (if enabled) order. That is why the wizard shows the QR menu at the end.

I have a hotel and a restaurant. Do I run the wizard twice?

Yes, each mode has its own steps; switch with the buttons at the top. Departments and staff are shared by both modes, so add them once.

Setting up your restaurant on day one

What is it for?

This page walks someone who has never used the restaurant module through everything to do on day one, in order: the setup wizard, request types, points, daily tasks, staff, printing table QR codes and testing that everything works. Follow the steps in order; each one says what you should see at the end. It takes about 30-45 minutes in total.

When do I use it?

Before you start

Step by step

  1. Open the wizard and create the restaurant. In the left menu click Restaurant → Requests; with no restaurant yet you see "Start the restaurant module". Type the business name and click Create. The panel takes you to the Venue Setup Wizard. What you should see: a green tick and your venue name on step 1.

    Wizard step 1: business name and Create

  2. Set up departments. In wizard step 2 click Add restaurant departments (Cleaning, Technical, Waiter, Kitchen). If you need another (for example Bar), type it in Department name and click Add. What you should see: department tags on the card.

    Wizard step 2: departments

  3. Link request types to departments. In step 3 pick the department next to each type and click Save: Call waiter and Request bill → Waiter, Cleaning → Cleaning, Fault → Technical. Add new types for your own jobs. Details: Request Types. What you should see: no "... have no department" warning on the card.

    Wizard step 3: request type and department

  4. Review points. Ready points (restrooms, kitchen, storage and so on) were installed with the restaurant. Open Operations → Points in the left menu. Use + Add point for missing places (for example Terrace) and open unused ones to Delete them. Set an owner for each point: click the point, choose a department in Which department looks after it? and click Save. Staff do not see a point with no owner in the app. Details: Operations.

    Point window: owner department

  5. Adjust daily tasks. Review the ready tasks in Operations → Daily Tasks. Change times and owners with Edit, delete the ones you do not need, and add missing ones with + Add task (for example Restroom check, 09-13-17, Cleaning, photo required). For measurements such as fridge temperature, enter the unit and limits under Other settings.

    Add task window

  6. Add staff. In wizard step 4 (or on the Staff screen) enter each person's name, last name, mobile number, role and department and click Add. At least one person must be a Manager. The password goes to the person automatically by SMS or WhatsApp. What you should see: "... staff · 1 managers" on the card.

    Wizard step 4: add staff

  7. Staff install the app. Share the App Store, Google Play or Download page link from the Staff app card on the Staff screen. Staff sign in with their phone number and the password they received. Details: What is Useroam Go?

    Staff app card

  8. (Optional) Add a delay rule. In wizard step 5 choose for example Waiter, Not picked up, 5 minutes and click Add. Details: SLA. You can also set up an Automation rule for outside service companies.

    Wizard step 5: SLA rule

  9. Prepare the QR menu and print table QR codes. From the wizard's QR menu card, use Create digital menu (or Edit menu) to build your menu; details: Setting up the QR menu from start to finish. In the menu editor click Table QR, enter the number of tables (or type table names separated by commas), then click Create and Print. Stick each QR on its table: guests use it to call a waiter, ask for the bill and, if enabled, order.

    Table QR codes window

  10. Test. On the wizard's Verify the setup card click Create test request; check it appears in the panel (Requests → Closed) and in a manager's app, then click Delete test record.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to do all of this in one day?

No. The wizard works out where you left off from your data; open it and continue whenever you like.

Can I use the restaurant module without a menu?

Yes. Requests, points, tasks and the staff app work without a menu. The QR menu is only needed for guests to call a waiter, ask for the bill and order.

Staff phones get no notifications.

Staff must allow notifications in the app and be in the request's department. Details: Useroam Go: Warnings and Error Messages.

Requests

What is it for?

Requests is the list where every job in your restaurant flows in (waiter calls, cleaning, faults, jobs staff open in the app). You see who has which job, hand a job to someone else, change its status, and send a reminder to the phone of whoever is running late (Nudge). The header shows Restaurant Management with your venue name, and the subtitle "Requests, points and department-based request types".

How do I open this screen? In the Business section of the left menu, go to Restaurant → Requests. If you open the restaurant for the first time, the panel first takes you to the Venue Setup Wizard.

Frequently asked questions

Where do guest requests come from?

In a restaurant guests use Call waiter and Request the bill in the QR menu; these land on the Operations Screen (Calls and Orders). This list gets jobs staff open in the app, jobs you open in the panel, point status changes (for example setting a point to Out of order) and requests opened automatically when a measurement goes out of range.

Why did the Unassigned requests go to nobody?

If the venue had no active staff when the request was opened, it stays in the pool. Pick someone in Assign to? and save.

Staff closed the request in the app but it still looks open here.

Refresh the page; the list does not refresh by itself.

Can I reopen a closed request?

Yes. Under Closed, set the status to Waiting or In progress and click Save.

Can staff open requests?

Managers always can. For other staff to open requests in the app, turn on the setting on the Staff screen. Details: Useroam Go: Requests.

Request Types

What is it for?

Request Types is where you set the job headings that can be opened in your restaurant (for example Call waiter, Cleaning, Fault) and which department each heading goes to. Routing is set up here: request type → department → that department's staff.

How do I open this screen? In the left menu go to Restaurant → Request Types. Or on Restaurant Management click the Settings tab, then the Request Types sub-tab.

Request Types screen

When do I use it?

Before you start

Step by step: add a new request type

  1. In the Add request type card, type the name in e.g. Take order (for example Refill water), choose the department next to it (for example Waiter) and click Add. The top says "Request type added." and the type is added at the end of the list.

    Add request type card and Add button

Step by step: change the department or turn a type off

  1. On the type's row, choose the new department in the Department box. To stop using the type, switch off the Status toggle. Then click Save on the same row. The top says "Saved."

    Request type row: department, status toggle and Save

Frequently asked questions

Where do guests see request types?

They appear when staff open a request in the app and in 1. What happened? in the panel's New request window. Automation rules also use them. The Call waiter and Request the bill buttons in the QR menu are separate from this list; they arrive as calls on the Operations Screen.

Why can't I rename a type?

The name stays fixed so past requests and reports keep it. Add a type with the new name and switch the old one off with Status.

Can several types go to the same department?

Yes. For example Call waiter, Request bill and Refill water can all go to Waiter.

SLA

What is it for?

SLA (delay rules) is where you set how quickly a request must be picked up or finished. When the time runs out and the request is still not picked up or not finished, the system writes a notification and sends an app notification to managers' phones; SMS too if you want. Forgotten jobs surface by themselves.

How do I open this screen? On Restaurant Management, click the Settings tab, then the SLA sub-tab. Step 5 of the setup wizard adds the same rule.

When do I use it?

Before you start

Step by step: add a rule

  1. Fill in the form and click Add. The top says "Saved." and the rule appears in the list.
    • Department: where the rule applies. All departments covers everything, including requests with no department.
    • Stage: Not picked up (the request is still Waiting when time runs out) or Not completed (still open, waiting or in progress).
    • Time (min): minutes (for example 10; 1 to 1440, empty means 15). Time counts from when the request was opened.
    • Also send SMS with the note "(to managers, off by default)": sends an SMS to managers too, using your SMS credits.

    SLA rule form: department, stage, time, SMS and Add

Rule list

Without rules the card says "No SLA rules yet." Once you add a rule a table appears:

Column / ButtonWhat it shows / does
DepartmentThe rule's department or All departments.
StageNot picked up / Not completed.
Time (min)A badge such as 10 min.
SMSGreen phone icon: SMS goes too. Dash: app notification only.
StatusGreen Active or grey Off. An inactive rule looks faded.
Enable / disable buttonStops the rule without deleting it, or turns it back on.
Delete button (bin)Deletes the rule after the "Delete this?" confirmation.

Notifications

The Notifications card at the bottom lists the alerts the rules created (newest 100). Unread ones have a red stripe and bold text; each row shows the alert text, the time and Request status: (the request's current status). With unread items, a Mark all as read button appears at the top right. With none, it says "No notifications."

A request is notified only once per rule. Managers receive the same alert as a notification in the Useroam Go app. Managers whose email address is filled in and whose Email notifications switch is on in the Staff screen also get the alert by email titled Job is overdue; this does not depend on the Also send SMS box and is free (Staff).

Frequently asked questions

I added a rule but no notifications arrive.

Rules only look at open requests and run every 5 minutes. The request's department must match the rule (or the rule must be All departments). If the venue has no active manager, there is nobody to receive the app notification or SMS; the alert still shows in this list.

Does the wizard's test request create a notification?

No. The test request is created closed, so rules ignore it.

Will I get repeated SMS for the same request?

No. Each request is notified once per rule.

Settings

What is it for?

The General settings set the restaurant module's name, whether it is on or off, and where staff can use the app from.

How do I open this screen? In the left menu go to Restaurant → Settings, then the General sub-tab. Or Restaurant Management → Settings → General.

When do I use it?

Frequently asked questions

I turned the module off. Is my data deleted?

No. Requests, points, tasks and settings stay; they come back as they were when you turn the switch on again.

Staff cannot use the app when they are outside.

Staff app only from the business network is on. Staff must be on the venue's Wi-Fi, or you turn the switch off. Managers are exempt.

Where do I find the guest request page address for the restaurant?

The panel no longer shows a separate guest request page for restaurants; the guest surface is the QR menu. Details: Setting up the QR menu from start to finish.

Operations

What is it for?

Operations is where you run the daily routine of your venue from one place: which job is done at what time (Daily Tasks), the places where work happens (Points), and a record of everything that was and was not done (Report). The subtitle reads "Daily tasks, points and reports (shared by restaurant and hotel)". If your venue has both a restaurant and a hotel, their tasks and points appear in one list.

How do I open this screen? In the Business section of the left menu, click Operations. Under it are the Daily Tasks, Points and Report links. The Operations tab on Restaurant Management and the Board link in the Restaurant menu also come here.

Operations in the left menu

When do I use it?

Before you start

1. Daily Tasks

The tab starts with Today's operations board and the date; the badge next to it shows how many time slots were done today and the percentage (for example 12/53 · 23%). Tasks are grouped by type: Opening, Round, Measurement, Security, Closing.

Each row shows the task name (a camera icon if a photo is required), then its place, who does it (a person, a department or Everyone) and, for measurements, the limits (for example 0 .. 4°C). On the right there is one badge per time slot:

Overdue task notification: if a task with a time is still not done 30 minutes after its time (orange clock), the venue's managers get a Task overdue notification in Useroam Go; if the task is assigned to one person, that person gets it too. It is sent once per task time and never for tasks without a time. People whose email address is filled in and whose Email notifications switch is on in the Staff screen also get the same alert by email titled Job is overdue. Managers also get an email when a task is done and when a reading is out of range (Task completed, Task: out-of-range reading).

When the day changes all badges go grey again; past days stay in the Report. So that closing tasks done after midnight count for the previous day, the board moves to the new day at 06:00.

Daily Tasks board and Add task button

Step by step: add a task

  1. Click + Add task at the top right. Fill in the window in order, then click Save; the top says "Task added."
    • 1. What needs to be done? The task name (required), for example Restroom check.
    • 2. Where? Pick a point or leave No specific place. If it is not listed, choose + Add a new point and type a name (E.g. Terrace).
    • 3. Who will do it? Everyone, a person from the People group or a department from the Departments group. The hint: "If you pick a person, only they see the task and get a phone notification. If you pick a department, everyone in it sees it."
    • 4. At what times? Tap the 00-23 boxes (for example 09, 13, 17). The hint: "If no hour is selected, the task is done once a day."
    • Photo required: if ticked, staff cannot finish the task without a photo.

    Add task window filled in

  2. For a measurement task (temperature, chlorine) open Other settings (measurement, task type) at the bottom: choose the task type (Opening, Round, Measurement, Security, Closing), type the unit in Unit (e.g. °C) and the lower and upper limits in min and max (for example 0 and 4). If staff enter a value outside the limits, that slot turns red and a fault request is opened automatically.

    Other settings: task type, unit, min, max

Edit on a row opens the same window with the task's values (titled Edit task). The bin deletes the task after "Delete this task? Past reports are kept."; it leaves the board and its past records stay in the Report.

Ready templates

With no tasks at all you see "No tasks defined yet. You can install the ready template or add your own tasks below."

2. Points

A point is a place where work happens: table, restroom, stove, pool, lobby. Points can be nested: Kitchen with Stove and Oven and Cold Room under it. A parent point shows as a navy header strip (with the number of points under it, dirty and out-of-order counts, task count and owner); child points are coloured boxes. Stand-alone points are listed at the bottom.

Colours (legend at the top):

Each box shows the name, status (Clean, Dirty, Out of order), today's task count at that point (for example 0/2) and the owner. Tasks linked to no point are collected in the General tasks strip at the top ("Tasks not linked to a point (you can pick a point in the Tasks tab)"); clicking the strip opens Daily Tasks.

Note: the demo venue's point names in the pictures were entered in Turkish.

Points board and Add point button

Step by step: change a point's status or owner

  1. Click the point's box (or Edit on a parent point). Change what you need in the Edit point window and click Save; the top says "Point saved."
    • Current status: Clean, Dirty, Out of order. Hint: "If you choose Dirty or Faulty, a request is opened automatically and sent to the least busy staff member." When the job is closed, the point goes back to clean by itself.
    • Point name, Under which point? (None (main point) or a parent). A point that has points under it cannot be moved under another; the box is then locked with an explanation.
    • Which department looks after it? and Which person looks after it? (optional): the owner. Hint: "In the app, staff only see and change spots of their own department and spots given to them. If nothing is selected, staff don't see it; only managers do. Leave a sub-spot empty to use its parent's owner."

    Edit point window

Delete on the left of the window deletes the point and its sub-points after "Delete this point? Points under it are deleted too." Tasks linked to them are not deleted; their place becomes empty.

Step by step: add a point

  1. Click + Add point at the top right. Type the name in Point name (for example Terrace), choose a parent and owner if needed, and click Save. A new point has no status box; it starts as Clean.

    Add point window

With no points at all you see "No points defined yet." with Set up standard restaurant points (restaurant) and Install hotel template (hotel).

3. Report

The report combines requests, completed tasks and missed tasks in one table. The default range is the last 7 days; up to 63 days can be chosen.

  1. Choose filters and click Filter: From and To dates, Type (All, Requests, Tasks), Person, Job (request types and tasks in two groups), Point (a parent includes its children), Status. The cross button (Clear) resets filters.

    Report filters and table

Count badges above the table: Total and one per status. Statuses: Completed, Open, Not done (a task whose time passed with no record), Out-of-range reading, Cancelled.

Frequently asked questions

Staff cannot see a task in the app.

If the task is given to a department or person, the staff member must be in that department. For tasks tied to a point, staff only see points they look after. Staff without a department do not see department jobs. Details: Useroam Go: Tasks.

I have a hotel and a restaurant. Do I define tasks twice?

No. Tasks and points are one list per venue. In a venue that also has a restaurant, requests created from tasks or points go to restaurant requests; in a hotel-only venue they go to hotel requests.

Why are rooms not in Points?

Hotel rooms are managed on the Room Board; points are the areas outside rooms (pool, lobby, boiler room and so on).

I cannot set a point to Clean.

From the panel you always can. In the app, staff cannot tap Clean while the point has an open job; when the job is closed the point goes back to clean by itself.

Automation

What is it for?

Automation e-mails your support company for you when a fault or job is opened. For example, when a hood fault is opened in the kitchen, your ventilation service gets an e-mail on your venue's behalf. If the company clicks Reply, the answer comes to your e-mail address. The subtitle reads "Automatically notify your support companies about restaurant and hotel requests." The screen is shared by the restaurant and hotel modules.

How do I open this screen? In the Business section of the left menu, click Automation (under Operations).

Does a guest calling a waiter from the QR menu reach the company?

No. Waiter calls and bill requests are calls on the Operations Screen, not requests. Automation works on requests (from the panel, the staff app, point status changes, out-of-range readings and hotel guest portal requests).

What happens if the company replies?

The reply comes to the e-mail address on your account.

Setting up the QR menu from start to finish

What is it for?

This page takes you end to end through setting up a QR menu, putting it on the tables, and letting guests call a waiter, ask for the bill and order from the table. In a restaurant the guest page is the QR menu: a guest who scans the table QR sees the menu with Call Waiter and Request Bill at the bottom, and, if table ordering is on, adds items to the cart and sends the order. Orders and calls land on the Operations Screen in the panel and on staff phones.

When do I use it?

Before you start

Step by step

  1. Create the menu. In Restaurant → Menus pick a design, enter the Menu name and Languages, and click Create Menu. Details: Online Menu.

    New Menu form

  2. Add products. In the editor, import in bulk from Excel, PDF or a photo via the Import menu card, or enter them one by one with Add New Section and + Add product. Do not leave products at price 0. Details: Menu Editor.

  5. Translate. If you chose more than one language, click Translate missing in the Tools card; translation finishes in the background in seconds.

    Tools card and translation

  6. Print table QRs. Click Table QR, enter the number of tables or table names, then Create and Print. Stick each QR on its own table; the general QR Code (for the entrance or window) carries no table, so it shows no call or order buttons.

    Table QR codes

  7. Try the guest side. Scan a table QR with your phone. A "Table 5 · Your Bill 0 ₺ · estimate" strip shows at the top and Call Waiter and Request Bill at the bottom. Guests change the language with the buttons at the top right.

The old restaurant guest request page

The first version of the restaurant module had a separate page where guests opened requests (menu.useroam.com/rs/...; older printed QRs use /o/...). The panel no longer shows a link to it; for new setups the guest surface is the QR menu. If you have these old QRs printed, we recommend replacing them with table QRs. The /rs/ address still opens and sends requests to the Requests list; old restaurant QRs starting with /o/ currently show an error (reported to the product team).

Frequently asked questions

The Call Waiter button is missing.

The menu was opened with the general QR or a link. Put a QR made with Table QR on the table.

There is no add-to-cart button.

Menu Settings → Accept orders from the QR is off, or the item is out of stock or outside its sale hours.

Guests scanning the QR see a "not published" page.

Menu published is off or the menu was deleted. Check Menu Settings.

A welcome page opens; I want the menu to open directly.

Turn off Feedback & suggestion box in Menu Settings; the QR then opens the menu directly.

Online Menu

What is it for?

Online Menu lists your digital menus, opened from the QR code on the table and from the Wi-Fi login page. Here you create a new menu, jump to a menu's editor, report or live page, delete a menu and, for multi-branch venues, make one menu a branch of another. A price change needs no reprint: you update the menu in the panel and the QR stays the same. The subtitle reads "Your digital menu via QR and captive portal".

How do I open this screen? In the Business section of the left menu, go to Restaurant → Menus. The Create digital menu button in the setup wizard also comes here.

Step by step: make a menu a branch (chain menu)

  1. On the card of the menu that should become a branch, choose Branch → main menu name in Menu type. The choice saves by itself. The branch uses the main menu's items; branch-specific price, sold out and hide settings are set in the branch menu's editor. Choose Standalone menu again to separate it.

    Menu type box

Rules: a menu that has its own branches cannot become a branch; the main menu must be a menu that is not itself a branch.

Step by step: delete a menu

  1. Click the red bin on the menu card. The window says "You are about to delete the menu Useroam Cafe.", a content summary ("This menu has 10 sections, 51 products and 76 view records.") and a safety note. Click Delete Menu to delete or Cancel to go back.

    Delete menu window

Deleting is safe: the menu goes offline, table QRs and old campaign links fall back to the "not published" page; content and analytics stay archived. If an active Bumerang campaign links to the menu, it is not deleted: "Could not delete: these active campaigns are linked to this menu: ... Change the campaign link or pause the campaign first."

Frequently asked questions

My change does not show in the menu.

Make sure you saved and refresh the guest page. The product may be set to Hide in menu or be outside its sale hours.

How do I turn on table ordering?

Turn on Menu Settings → Accept orders from the QR and stick the QRs made with Table QR on the tables. The general QR Code carries no table, so ordering needs table QRs. Details: Setting up the QR menu from start to finish.

Why does a product with price 0 give a warning?

The regulation requires a price for published products. Enter a price or hide the product.

Menu Studio

What is it for?

Menu Studio is where you change how your menu looks, working on a phone view. Your live menu sits in the middle (Useroam Cafe · Editing mode); you can tap a product name or price and type directly, and changes save by themselves. The strip on the left chooses the style, layout, background and price display. For detailed fields (translation, portions, sale hours) use the Menu Editor.

How do I open this screen? Click 🎨 Studio at the top of the Menu Editor.

Frequently asked questions

How do I save?

You do not need to; each choice is saved at once and shows on the guest menu. Ready at the top confirms it.

Are Design in Menu Settings and Style in the Studio the same?

Design (Kafe, Restoran...) chooses the starting theme; Studio style, layout and background settings are applied on top of it. Reset all settings clears the Studio settings; the design stays.

Why are products hidden with Category grid?

With this layout guests see categories first, and products open when they enter a category. Column and product card settings apply there too.

Operations Screen (Calls and Orders)

What is it for?

The Operations Screen is where you handle orders and calls (Call Waiter, Request Bill) from the QR menu live. It is built to stay open on a tablet or till screen: when a guest scans the table QR and calls a waiter or orders, a card lands here with a sound alert. The header shows the menu name, Operations and the time. The screen refreshes itself every 6 seconds.

How do I open this screen? Click Calls at the top of the Menu Editor (it is red and shows the count when calls are waiting).

Frequently asked questions

A guest called a waiter but nothing showed up.

The guest must scan the table QR, not the general QR; the general QR has no table and shows no call buttons. The screen refreshes every 6 seconds.

Do waiters get notified on their phones?

Yes, staff using the Useroam Go app get new call and order notifications; if the table is assigned to a waiter, new orders go only to them. Staff see calls on the app's Calls tab.

Are orders sent to my till (POS)?

No. The Operations Screen passes the order to the kitchen and floor; use your own till for payment and receipts.

Menu Report

What is it for?

The Menu Report measures how well your digital menu works: how many people opened it, how many orders and calls came in, which items are looked at but rarely ordered, which items are ordered together, and what guests wrote. The header shows Menu Report with the menu name and the selected period (Last 30 days).

How do I open this screen? Click Report on the menu card under Restaurant → Menus, or Report at the top of the Menu Editor.

Menu Engineering

For each item the table shows Views (detail opens), Orders, Conversion and Class & Advice. Classes follow the Kasavana-Smith method; the threshold is the median of views and orders. Above the table you see how many items fall in each class.

Get AI advice on the Useroam AI · Menu Advisor card analyses your menu with this matrix and writes concrete, prioritised advice ("Useroam AI is analyzing your menu…"). With too little data: "Not enough view/order data for meaningful advice yet."; if unavailable: "Useroam AI is unavailable right now, please try again shortly." or "Connection problem, please try again."

Frequently asked questions

Why are orders and revenue 0?

Table ordering is off, or guests use the general QR instead of table QRs. Turn on Accept orders from the QR in Menu Settings and stick table QRs on the tables.

All items show as Dogs.

A new menu has little data; the threshold is a median, so classes become meaningful after a few weeks. Choose a longer period (90d).
