This is the Project Brief for first project of the BK DE - Oracle Rollout Program.

Project Overview
Executive Summary
This is the first project in BK DE’s Oracle Rollout Program, which aims to replace their current POS vendor (Toshiba) with Oracle, across all of their restaurant estate. This project in particular aims to roll-out Oracle in the first 100 restaurants, limited to restaurants that use Smoothr as their kiosk vendor.
Project Type
Technical project. The goal is to replace Toshiba with Oracle, like-for-like, with no other capabilities enabled and no functionality / feature loss from a guest experience point-of-view (e.g., Loyalty). Initially, enabling Pickup service mode was in scope, however it was later decided to be managed as a separate project (details here: Oracle Rollout - Enable Pickup).
Project Scope
Current Technology Stack
Composed of:
Toshiba POS
Smoothr kiosk (other kiosk vendors, Tillster and Acrelec, are out of scope for this project)
SIDES (previously known as Simply Delivery) tablet to receive Delivery orders
RBI Orders API
RBI Loyalty API
RBI Guest App (supporting Delivery orders only)
With the following integrations:
RBI Platform integrated with SIDES for delivery orders made via the RBI Guest App. SIDES is configured as a custom POS, as opposed to via the Partners API
There is no integration between SIDES and Toshiba. When Delivery orders are placed, they are routed to the SIDES tablet and restaurant staff manually keys in the order contents into Toshiba.
Toshiba POS integrated with the RBI Loyalty API for loyalty points earn/burn during in-store orders
There is no integration between Toshiba and the RBI Platform for orders, since Pickup is not enabled and Delviery goes through SIDES.
Smoothr kiosk integrated with the RBI Loyalty API for loyalty points earn/burn during in-store orders
Smoothr kiosk integrated with Toshiba POS to send orders placed on their devices (this includes, but it not limited to, the Pay at Counter flow)
Proposed Changes
The main change is the replacement of Toshiba POS with Oracle Symphony POS, running on a Multi-Tenant Environment (MTE) created by Oracle specifically for BK DE. This will require:
Oracle to extend the existing Orders and Loyalty integrations to support BKDE-specific requirements (see relevant section below);
Khumbu to act as an interface between Oracle POS and RBI. This will happen in two different flows:
When an order is placed via the RBI app, Khumbu will convert the RBI payload to the format expected by Oracle
When Oracle generates events that are relevant for RBI (e.g. pricing, change of status), Khumbu may need to convert the response to a format that RBI expects
to convert Oracle requests into the format expected by the RBI API’s
Smoothr to develop an integration with Oracle POS to support the Pay at Counter flow.
Out of Scope
Kiosk vendors other than Smoothr;
Changes to the existing RBI integration with SIDES;
Capabilities not currently supported by Toshiba POS, such as Pickup.
