This page and all pages under it were used to manage the BK DE Oracle Integration project before September 2024. During September we re-organised the project and started managing progress here:

More details on the loyalty deployment here: [Archived] BK DE - Loyalty Enablement
In terms of mobile ordering in the tech platform:
Delivery is available for a subset of stores (~150 BK DE Master Franchisee stores).
Click & collect, Dine In, Drive Thru and Table Service are not available.
To enable delivery, RBI built an integration into “SIDES” (previously known as “Simply Delivery”).
When a guest places a delivery order:
RBI sends the delivery order to a SIDES tablet.
SIDES tablet is next to a delivery dedicated POS, located in the restaurant’s kitchen.
Team member manually keys in the order into the POS.
More details on SIDES integration flow here: /wiki/spaces/CA/pages/3402695725.
From an RBI standpoint, SIDES is treated as a POS integration. This is important because we only support one POS integration per restaurant.
Note that SIDES has attempted to integrate with Toshiba, but BK DE shared the integration is not reliable.
Delivery fulfillment is done by own drivers. SIDES also takes care of driver management.
Team member will assign the order to an own driver. Drivers have a SIDES app which provides delivery instructions.
Note that SIDES has built an integration into UberDirect, which will allow 1P delivery orders to be delivered with UberEats drivers. BK DE is currently testing this integration.
đź“Ś Goal
All BK DE restaurants currently use Toshiba as the POS and BK DE will replace Toshiba POS with Oracle POS.
As part of that replacement, we need to ensure that stores with Oracle POS support Mobile Ordering and Loyalty.
The following service modes, POS Integration will be implemented:
Delivery
Click & Collect
Dine In
Drive Thru
Table Service
⚙️ Tech Requirements
Architecture
Oracle POS already has an integration with RBI via the Khumbu middleware using our PartnerAPI.
In Sanity → Vendor Config need to be updated to support the integration:
Create new field
Toshiba-Loyalty
to support current setup (input offers and rewards) which it’s using as part of the Loyalty Integration with Toshiba, Acrelec and Tillster.Script to migrate PLUs from the current
Partner
field toToshiba-Loyalty
including the whole Menu structure (items, combos, modifiers)
Use
Partner
field to store the Pick Up and Delivery PLUs for Oracle POS.
Integration Oracle Simphony POS
Defined to use the Transaction Services API Generation 2 for:
Order Injection
Price and Product Availability
Heartbeat
Details on Oracle and Khumbu integration /wiki/spaces/MS/pages/4055763454
Contact Oracle to activate the Transaction Services API Generation 2;
Create Store ID for both Staging and Production environment;
Create new store on Sanity and set POS as Vendor
Partner
Mapping of RBI service modes to Oracle Simphony’s (orderTypeRef)
Loyalty package need to be installed by Oracle following the guideline /wiki/spaces/MS/pages/4057661622
Configuration on Partner API
Process to create store (Staging, QA and Prod) on Partner API:
Content Management
In Sanity, on Vendor Configs, all PLUs need to be set on Partner
field.
đź“‹ Project Plan
Enable Oracle POS on BK DE - Loyalty Program
For the pilot, focus on enabling loyalty at the front-counter (we will not have kiosk at this stage).
Enable Click & Collect for Oracle POS.
We need to review the approach for Click & Collect service mode.
Enable Delivery for Oracle POS.
We need to decide the approach for Fulfillment provider.
Enable the remaining service modes for Oracle POS.
Dine In
Drive Thru
Table Service
This incremental approach reduces dependencies and allows for a faster time to pilot, while also minimizing risk.
