1 Welcome to Ambur! We offer a revolutionary and easy-to-learn restaurant management solution that s not only adaptable, but also robust enough to operate in even the most demanding environments. This training guide will help you learn the ins and outs of Ambur. You ll complete a number of tasks with whatever database you currently have in the system. A database is the file in which everything you do in Ambur is saved. This includes menu items, orders, settings, permissions, etc. These tasks will get you acclimated to the App and make setting up Ambur a breeze. After these tasks are complete, load the blank database into your ipad/ipod Touch/iPhone (Which you can download from the Resellers Page), and you ll set up a database from scratch for Sample Restaurant. If you already have a database set up in your device that you want to keep, you can a copy of that to yourself (Managementà settingsà action key (arrow in top right corner)à Database). This feature requires that you have a mail account set up on your ipad. By the time you ve completed the tasks, you ll know how to put it back. From the point that you sign the reseller agreement, you will have two weeks to complete the tasks and send us the database file. Once we ve checked the database given you feedback, you ll be added to our Reseller s list on our website. We do recommend you purchase at least the TSP100 (Receipt) printer from our website. As a signed reseller, you will receive an additional discount directly from our online store for this first printer. Please call soon after you and Ambur have signed the agreement, and we will provide you the discount code. As stated in our initial to you, Ambur will allow you to determine your own setup and support fees. If you choose not to provide these, we at Ambur will still provide your customers will free 30-day phone support and support for life. To begin, download the manual from the support page located on our website or from the Resellers link provided to you in the ( It s very important that you read through the entire manual; a lot of what you ll be doing is outlined exactly. Now please complete the following tasks: Download Ambur (If you haven t already) Open Hub (If you haven t already) Stop using as Hub; Open hub again. (Button at top of home screen) At this point, you may find it useful to go to Managementà Settingsà Login Timeoutà never. Leave everything else as is. Go back to the Home screen of Ambur. Create a new order Hit the Action Key (Top right corner) and take note of the options there. Delete that order (swipe your finger across the selection.)

2 Create a new menu item, name it Hamburger, and leave it alone for now. Go to Management, select options groups, and create two new option groups. o Name one Meat Temp, set the number to choose to 1, no custom entry, and add the options of Rare, Medium, and Well. o Name the second option group Toppings. Allow as many choices as the customer wants, and allow for custom entries. Add to this option group the options Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Onions for free. Also add Bacon at the price of a dollar. Create a category named Burgers Create an order type of Dine In Create a printer group called Kitchen Hot. Go back to your menu item setup, and select Hamburger. o Price it at 8.50 o Leave the kitchen name, it will default print the name o Allow the burger to be discountable o No description o No prompt for name o No prompt for price o Leave inventory at zero o Put cost to business as 3.50 o Assign printer group Kitchen Hot to the Hamburger item o Select the option groups Meat Temp and Toppings for the Hamburger. o Leave the tax rate alone a menu item with this section left blank will take the default tax rate as inputted in Settings. o Add Hamburger to the Burgers category. (This category will not show up. Categories must have at least 2 items in them before appearing.) Remember this process when you are creating menu items later. Take into consideration how everything is connected, so you can determine which things to set up first and how you want to arrange everything. Create a new user. Name this user to your liking and give them the password 555. Set their default order type to Dine in. Create a new user group. Name this group Servers. Change prompt to clock in to yes, and add the user you just created to this group. o Apply Employee Default permissions to this user group. This can be achieved by going to the user group screen, hitting the action key, selecting change permissions, then hitting the action key again and selecting Apply Employee Defaults. Create a new payment type. Name this payment type American Express. Make sure credit card is set to Yes and cash is set to No. Having your payment types set correctly is important for the Employee summary report. Create a new charge type. A charge type is a discount or service charge that can be added to an order. Name it $5.00 Discount. o Select Yes for discount.

3 o Select Yes for exclusive. (Exclusivity will ensure that this discount cannot be applied to orders with other discounts attached) o Select No for percentage based. o Select No for counts as tip. o Enter 5 for amount. o Leave maximum value at 0. (This is mainly for open amounts. For example, if you enter a maximum total of $20 dollars, and somebody enters a 50% discount on a $100 order, Ambur will auto-adjust the amount down to $20.) o Enter 10 for minimum total. (Discount cannot apply to order where total is less than XX.XX) o Select No for prompt for name. o Select No for prompt for amount. Now select Settings. Take note of these settings, and find their descriptions in the manual (p. 60). Leave these for now. Under the list of settings there is a +tax rates button. These are for specialized tax rates that differ from the default tax rate. Under that is a list of devices, including the Hub itself, that have been connected. If you select the device, you can set default customer copy, kitchen copy, and closed checks printers. Last on the page is a default order type that you can set for all orders. This order type is overridden if the person has a default order type attached to their user. In the Action key (top right hand corner), you ll find a number of additional functions, which are also detailed in the manual (p.64). Once you re familiar with the settings page action key, go back to the home screen. Select the top button, and you ll see where you can clock in/clock out, log out, open the cash drawer, and stop using as hub/unlink from hub. Now that you re familiar with the functionality of Ambur, you should be able to set up the following menu. This menu was designed for the purpose of giving you a background in setting up a range of menus for different establishments, and to give you a database that you can show prospective customers, no matter their type of restaurant. How you create the menu is at your discretion, but please do read through the entire setup before you begin. For this Menu, we re going to start from a completely blank database, which you should have received via . If you have not or cannot locate it, please contact an Ambur representative ( or [email protected]) and you will be sent another one. If you need to save a database that you ve already created, from the main Hub, go to Managementà Settingsà Action Key (Top right corner)à Database. Make sure you receive it in your inbox before continuing.

If an option group is created to with # to choose to be set, once that limit is reached, the option selector window will automatically scroll to the next set of options. The category or categories that you put the items in can be sorted out from the.csv file that is generated in Reports.

7 Course Lines Course lines can be created with menu items within Ambur. First, create a new item, named or ---Course---. Which ever you prefer, this item, since it begins with a dash, will show up first alphabetically within the menu items Secondly, create another menu item, name ---Fire--- Now create two option groups. Name these options Course and Fire. For the option group Course, create the options Appetizer, Entree, and Dessert. For the option group Fire, create the options Entree and Dessert, as the Appetizers should be created at the initial send. The menu items of Course and Fire, can both be added to all the categories or none of the categories. Either way, they will be easily accessible.
