➌ Uploader

All the records of iCHEF POS, such as orders and checkout data, are stored in the uploader before being uploaded to the cloud by categories. After the cloud receives and processes the data, you can browse all of the records and analyses at iCHEF’s backend.

The status of uploader indicates how the work of data uploading goes. When the iPad is disconnected with external network, the icon turns red. Under such circumstances, please check if the iPad’s Wi-Fi is properly connected to external network. The system will automatically upload the data when the iPad is reconnected with external network.
