If you want to take orders faster and more efficiently, using the WaiterOne Remote<\/strong> app on an extra iPad or iPhone is the perfect solution. Setting it up is quick, but there are a few important settings you need to adjust to make sure everything works smoothly.
Follow the steps below to connect your Remote device to your main WaiterOne system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Main iPad (Running WaiterOne)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Activate WaiterOne Remote<\/strong>
    Open the\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0inside the\u00a0WaiterOne<\/strong>\u00a0app and enable\u00a0WaiterOne Remote<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Allow Location Access<\/strong>
    Go to the iPad\u2019s main\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0app. Scroll down to\u00a0WaiterOne<\/strong>\u00a0(either directly in the list or under Apps > WaiterOne) and set\u00a0Location Access<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Always<\/strong>.
    Tip: Without this setting, your Remote devices might not find the main iPad.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enable Local Network Access<\/strong>
    Still in the iPad\u2019s\u00a0Settings<\/strong>, enable\u00a0Local Network<\/strong>\u00a0access for\u00a0WaiterOne<\/strong>.
    This allows your main device to communicate with Remotes over the same Wi-Fi network.<\/mark><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    On the Remote iPad or iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Enable Local Network Access<\/strong>
      On your Remote device (iPad or iPhone), open the\u00a0Settings<\/strong>. Scroll down to\u00a0Remote<\/strong>\u00a0(or Apps > Remote) and enable\u00a0Local Network<\/strong>\u00a0access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Connect to the Server<\/strong>
      Open the\u00a0WaiterOne Remote<\/strong>\u00a0app and go to\u00a0Settings \u2192 Server<\/strong>.\n
        \n
      • Normally, the host (your main iPad running WaiterOne) should appear automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If it doesn\u2019t, there may be a network issue. You can manually enter the IP address instead:\n
          \n
        • On your main iPad, go to\u00a0Settings \u2192 Wi-Fi<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Tap the connected network name and find your device\u2019s\u00a0IP address<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Download the Configuration<\/strong>
          After selecting or entering the server, simply press\u00a0Download<\/strong>.
          The Remote app will import the necessary settings and link to the main WaiterOne system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"WaiterOne<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Final Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Make sure both devices are connected to the\u00a0same Wi-Fi network<\/strong>. Once configured your remote will also work without being connected to the same Wi-Fi network. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Double-check that\u00a0Local Network<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Location<\/strong>\u00a0permissions are allowed, or the Remote won\u2019t be able to find the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If you experience connection issues, restarting both devices and your Wi-Fi router often helps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            By following these steps, you\u2019ll have your WaiterOne Remote up and running in just a few minutes, ready to take orders and speed up your service!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
