📍 Store Locator
0️⃣4️⃣ Enable Auto Restaurant Shut Down
path: /features/enable-auto-restaurant-shutdown/targeting
What does the feature do?
Restaurant order injection (OI) errors are recorded in the backend application database as they occur. When determining whether a restaurant is available for ordering, the frontend application will query the backend with one or more restaurant IDs (store numbers). A restaurant is available when auto-shutoff and heartbeat both report the restaurant as available.
Basically, POS will ping a restaurant to see if it’s available every x minutes. If there’s an error or no response, the restaurant will not show up online.
For more information on Auto Shut Down, check: /wiki/spaces/CPT/pages/676167683
