Cash drawer

Cash drawer Moneris Go Restaurant works with a cash drawer that will open when it receives a command from the application via the receipt printer. The cash drawer will not work until the receipt printer has been properly installed and configured. During setup, you can test the cash drawer by opening it from the Go Restaurant app on your tablet.

Set up the hardware

Note: Before setting up the cash drawer you must set up your receipt printer

  1. Carefully unpack the cash drawer from its box.
  2. Locate the keys and unlock the drawer. Ensure the lock remains in the “Unlocked” position so that the drawer will open when a command is sent from Go Restaurant.
  3. Locate the cable that was included with the cash drawer.
  4. Plug one end of the cash drawer cable into the RJ11 port in the back of the drawer.  The RJ11 port looks like a telephone cable port. 
  5. Plug the other end of the cash drawer cable into the RJ11 port in the back of the receipt printer.

Add the cash drawer to the portal

Since the cash drawer is connected to the receipt printer and controlled through the printer, there is no setup required for the cash drawer in the Go Restaurant portal.
