GETTING STARTED

Creating Mobile Users

From your DigitalPour Ops Program (Windows), create or edit a user that will have access to mobile operations.

Go to: Management Tab > Settings > Users

Double-click on an existing user or create a new user.

We recommend creating a user account for each of your staff.

Make sure you save the new user record before continuing.

Click the “Generate Mobile User Access Code” button and make note of this number.

Make sure that this user can, at least, “Open/Close Bar” and “Put On/Take Off Kegs”.

If you use keg Restrictions and/or “Do Not Tap” restrictions, you may want to give some your users the ability to “Override Restrictions” and “Override Do Not Use” also.

LOGGING INTO OPERATIONS WITH YOUR MOBILE APP

Launch the DigitalPour Mobile App and tap the “3 vertical dots” in the upper right part of the screen.

Tap the beer glass icon in the upper right of the screen. This will display a Activation screen.

You’ll be typing in the Activation code you generated in the Windows steps above. Tap the “Next ” button after entering the code.

You will now see a Sign in screen for the target user. Type the same password you would use to log into the Windows Operations Program for this target user.

Note to users that log into multiple locations: Tapping the company name (e.g. Demo Company) at the top of the screen will allow you to add a new company/location. You will walk through the above Activation and Sign in steps for each location you manage.

USING MOBILE OPERATIONS FEATURES

You will be able to OPEN and CLOSE your location’s digital menu and swap kegs in your inventory.

Opening and Closing Your DigitalPour Location

Now that you are logged in, you will see your name and your location (or locations) listed when tapping on the 3 vertical dots at the top of the DigitalPour Mobile App.

Tapping on the Location block will bring up a control screen.

You can OPEN, CLOSE and set LAST CALL from this area.

You can increase/decrease the amount of time “till close” by tapping the + and – buttons.

VIEWING AND CHANGING YOUR TAPS AND KEGS

Tapping the MENU button will take you to your location’s Tap List.

Tap on one of your Taps in the list. You will notice a tabbed area with the addition of “Ops”.

You have choices for your Tap:

  • Swap for Different: This will bring up your Keg Queue to select a keg.
  • Swap for Same: This will grab the same keg from your queue.
  • Make Empty Tap: This will remove the current keg and make the target Tap empty.
  • Adjust Keg Level: You can manually adjust the amount left in your keg. This could be due to an event or kitchen use.
  • Edit Keg: This area will give you the abilithy to adjust costs, glassware display, screen display, etc.
  • Add More Kegs: You can adjust the number of kegs you have in inventory. If you need to remove a keg from your inventory you’ll want to do that from On Deck.

NOTE: If you don’t use Restrictions or Categories, you will see all kegs that match the Same Type of beverage as the one you are changing.

FILTER BAR

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the filter bar. These buttons will display specific groupings of kegs based on Restrictions/Categories, Same Beverage Type, All Kegs and Do Not Tap.

NOTES: If you do not have certain privileges, some of these areas will either be hidden or dimmed.

Restricted: These are kegs you have set up in Windows Operation that designate certain kegs being able to be swapped for specific kegs. 

Same Type: This will list all the kegs that are of the same beverage type (beer, cider, wine, etc.)

Category: This will display the kegs that have a category in common.

Show All: This will display all kegs On Deck, minus any kegs you may have marked as “do not tap”.

Do Not Tap: If you have “do not tap” kegs and also have privileges to see those, the international “no” icon will display those kegs.

 

EXTRAS

There is some other useful information you have available when swapping kegs:

You’ll see the keg size and the count in inventory from the rotating information bar under the keg listing. If you use storeage locations, the location will be listed. 

If the current tapped beverage has a different coupler and/or keg type than one of the On Deck items. Red !! will display to give you a clue as to the mismatch.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: Why am I seeing my “Do Not Tap” kegs in the queue on Mobile Ops?

A: The keg queue on Mobile Ops has some filtering based on what privileges your user has.

The four privileges to the right are the ones used in Mobile Ops. If you use Restrictions and/or Do Not Tap settings you will want to read the section below to understand how privileges behave when using Mobile Ops.

 

ADJUST KEG LEVEL

You can now adjust your keg levels via Mobile Ops – The Simplified tab gives you the top 3 reasons you may need to adjust your keg level. It also displays your current glassware measurements to choose from. If you need other reasons for an adjustment or need to adjust in larger increments, go to the Advanced tab.
