Integration: connect COENA with Lightspeed iKentoo Restaurant K

This article describes how to configure the “order placement” integration to Lightspeed iKentoo (POS).

How the integration works

The integration allows the sommelier or waiter to place a wine order directly from the COENA application (an active Internet connection on the iPad is required to place an order). The execution of a wine order in COENA triggers the appearance of the wine item on the table selected in iKentoo. It is worth noting that it is not necessary to keep a current wine list in iKentoo, since the main source for the wine list will always be present and updated in COENA.

Step 1: Setting up Lightspeed iKentoo

• Adding a new article/item:
  name: COENA_WINE
  sku/id: COENA_WINE_CODE
  This article will link the wines ordered in COENA to Lightspeed iKentoo
• Activate the takeout/API mode in iKentoo.
  and update the access rights for the iKentoo user: (one of the ROLE_BO_WRITE or ROLE_ODATA_READ roles is mandatory)
  For this step, it may be necessary to call iKentoo support.

 

Step 2: Connect COENA to iKentoo

This connection must be established for each iPad that is to be used as an order entry.

• In the COENA administration interface, under “my account”, press the “iKentoo configuration” button.

• On the next screen, press the “Connect to iKentoo POS” button
  Enter your iKentoo login and password in the window that appears.

• Once connected, press the “Fetch available businesses” button.
• Select your business from the list on the left
• Then select your location ID from the middle list
• Make sure you have all the green LEDs as follows:

• Confirm the configuration by pressing “SAVE”.

Step 3: Perform an order placement test

• In the COENA customer interface, go to the wine list
• Touch three times the logo of your establishment in the upper left corner: a waiter icon appears
• Select a wine: the stock and location view appears

• Press the “Order” button

• Select container, volume and quantity
• Select table number and number of people at table (optional
• Press the “Order” button
• In iKentoo, check that the order has been placed.
