You can get to this part of the system by logging into your Admin app and clicking Settings on the left. In the menu that opens, click on Utilities at the bottom. In this article we'll explore what is there for you.

 

Feed Server

The Feed Server is what allows the Bottle POS database to send updated data to the POS. This area will be set up by the Bottle POS team, and you don't need to do anything here. You can see in this area the Status of the Feed Server, which provided POS data to the Desktop App and web browser pages in desktop or mobile uses of the system. The Status will either be Online or Offline.

Please Note: If you are using the Desktop App and the Feed Server goes offline, the POS app can still work and will save data to be updated when the system comes back online.
