Byte Quick Setup Guide

Welcome! This article will show you how to navigate and find specific settings so you can get the most out of Byte.

Mashgin Byte is a new, comprehensive platform that combines 3 previously separate services into a single, cohesive application for an all-improved user experience. If you have previously worked with COS / KDS systems, then this will be a quick refresher of useful tools as well as an intro to some new settings.

 

Before You Begin

There are some required quick checks that will allow you to get started with Byte. You will need access to Cloud, have a menu uploaded within Creator, built your menu and stations, and configured dayparts.

💡 Check out the Byte Basic Requirements article first for a refresher!

 

Getting to Know Kiosk Lite Manager

Starting the App

To begin, press the start button on the Kiosk Lite Manager screen. The Byte app should initially start at the log in page if you have not logged in yet. To log in, you will need your Cloud credentials. If you are unsure about your Cloud login or have issues signing in, please reach out to [e-mail].

Once logged in you will be greeted by Byte in Order Mode. To access settings, change to Kitchen Mode, sign out, and more, you will need to access the Byte Manager Mode. For more information, please see the Byte Manager Mode Overview article.

 

Kitchen Mode vs. Order Mode

Now that you are acquainted with Kiosk Lite Manager and the Byte Main Menu, it is time to take a look at the different modes within Byte: Order Mode vs. Kitchen Mode.

 

Order Mode

This is a customer-facing mode that allows users to order items from your previously created stations (i.e. cafeterias), and/or checkout using a barcode scanner the old school way (i.e. convenience stores). If you are setting up Byte as Order Mode, check out the Order Mode Settings article for more information.

 

Kitchen Mode

This is a back-of-house facing mode that allows your chef and staff to manage mobile and tablet orders. This also allows Chef and Staff to quickly create orders in demand when other Order tablets are in use. If you are setting up Byte as Kitchen Mode, check out the Kitchen Mode Settings article for more information.
