Moneris Go Restaurant portal (“Go Restaurant portal” or “the portal”) | This is the back office, cloud-based restaurant portal that should be accessed from a PC or laptop. This portal is used to perform administrative tasks such as employee management, data setup, inventory management, menu creation, and reporting. |

Tablet |
Refers to an Apple iPad. |
“Long press” and “tap” |
In the app, sometimes you may need to press and hold an on-screen element to interact with it; this is called a “long press”. The term “tap” is used to denote a shorter press on an on-screen element. |
Options icon |
This term refers to the three vertical dots that appear beside certain elements in the app. Tapping the options icon brings up interaction options for the element with which the menu is associated. The options icon will appear in different ways depending on the context and the screen on which it was accessed.
|
Menu icon |
The icon consists of three horizontal lines that appear in the top right corner of the app. Tapping the menu icon brings up the main menu of the app. |
Online Ordering system | This term refers to an online component for handling orders online. |
As the Moneris Go Restaurant app works on many platforms, most screenshots in this guide will be taken from a tablet landscape view.
For certain app screens, the terminal version may look different from tablet version. In these cases, both versions will be displayed side by side. If you only see one image, assume that it is roughly the same screen that will display on both the terminal and the app.
Note: While the Go Restaurant app was in development, a watermark that displays the words “DEBUG only” appears in the bottom right corner of the terminal screenshots. Please be advised that this mark will not appear on production terminals that merchants will use in their restaurants.
