Switch to another subscription
When your email address signs in to more than one restaurant, move from one subscription to another from the top bar, without signing out. The Choose a subscription window, its search, the Current and Suspended badges, and what happens when you switch.
On this page
A subscription is one restaurant's FooodPos account, with its own six-digit number. An owner with two restaurants, or a manager who also runs a friend's, signs in with one email address and one password to all of them. You move between them from the top bar, without signing out.
Before you start
- Your email address signs in to more than one subscription. With only one, the subscription box in the top bar has no ▾ and nothing opens.
Open the chooser
- In the top bar, click the subscription box on the left: the number and name with ▾.
- The window Choose a subscription opens, with the cursor in the search box.
Choose a subscription
Search name, number or code…
1| Subscription | 5 |
|---|---|
| Kopitiam Demo · 305118 · Expires 7 Oct 20272 | Current |
| Nasi Lemak Corner · 418230 · Trial ends 18 Nov 20263 | |
| Old Town Demo · 527004 · Expired 6 Oct 20264 | Suspended |
- Search: type part of a subscription's name, its six-digit number or its code. The list narrows as you type, and the line under the box counts the matches, such as 1 of 3.
- The one you are in: marked Current. Choosing it simply closes the window.
- Another subscription: its name, its number, and when it runs out. Trial ends … is a free trial; Expires … is the day a paid one is paid until. The date turns amber in its last weeks.
- An ended one: Expired … or Trial ended …, in red. It can still be opened, unless it is suspended.
- The badges: Current (blue) is the subscription this session is in. Suspended (red) is one FooodPos has suspended: it is listed so you can see it, but cannot be chosen.
- ✕: closes the window. Escape does the same.
Switch
- Click the subscription, or move to it with the arrow keys and press Enter. The arrow keys step over a suspended one.
- The back office opens again in that subscription, on its Dashboard.
- If your account there works at several outlets and has no default outlet, you first see Choose an outlet. Click one.
What changes when you switch:
- Everything on screen is the other restaurant's: its menu, outlets, staff, reports. The page reloads whole, so nothing of the first restaurant is left on screen.
- Your role and rights are the ones you have in that restaurant. You may be the owner in one and a manager in the other; the menu shows what you may open there.
- Your open tabs are kept for each subscription. Coming back brings back that subscription's tabs.
- Other browser tabs move with you: one browser holds one sign-in. A back office page open in another tab reloads into the new subscription by itself.
