The Weber Connect app is your secret ingredient to Smart Grilling! Weber Connect is the companion app to Weber smart grills and devices. When paired to a Weber Connect grill or device, the app becomes your sensor dashboard, remote control, and recipe book all in one! Track temperatures from anywhere The temperature of your grill is important. Weber Connect grills and devices can track your grill's temperature and alert you when it drops below your target temp due to a flameout or spikes because of a flareup. With the Weber Connect app you can follow its temperature and get alerts for important events. Even more important is the temperature of your food! A few degrees are all that stand between perfect and overdone. Weber Connect grills and devices let you track your food's internal temperature precisely with connected food probes and transmit them to your app. Watch the temp rise on the graph so you know when it's almost time to head back outside to take the steaks off, or set a target temp and get alerted when it's done no matter where you are. Adjust the grill without getting up from the couch Some Weber grills, like the SmokeFire, can have their cook temperature and mode changed by the app. That means you can turn the heat up, go into SmokeBoost mode, or shut down your grill without taking your eyes off the game. Never wonder what to make for dinner again The Weber Connect app has over 800 recipes built-in, with more being published every month. Every recipe has been crafted and tested by Weber Grillmasters, and many are fan favorites, so you know you can't go wrong with any of them! And almost half of our recipes are Smart Recipes, which walk you through, step-by-step, with short looping videos and clear instructions so you know when you're doing it right. Grilling has never been easier or more fun! The new Weber Connect 2.0 app has the important features of the original app: • Remote temperature monitoring • Temperature limit alerts • Temperature range alerts • Timers • Remote cooking control for grills that support it • Smart Recipes • Classic Recipes • How-To videos for Weber Connect grills & devices • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE connectivity Plus some new tricks: • Live graphs • Graph sharing • Graph data export • Grill naming • Recently-cooked recipes • Recipe bookmarks • iPad support • Improved accessibility • Dark mode

About

Ellipse POS

Read full description

Ellipse POS je pokladňa pre obsluhu v reštaurácii, na terase, v hotelovom bare aj na podujatí. Je to mobilná časť systému Ellipse Cloud — čašník naberá účty na telefóne pri stole, kuchyňa dostane bon a manažér vidí obrat v tej istej sekunde v back office. ÚČTY PRI STOLE Mapa stolov aj prehľadný zoznam, farebne odlíšené obsadené, objednané a voľné stoly. Otvorenie účtu jedným ťuknutím, presuny a spájanie účtov, delenie položiek, pomenovanie účtu podľa hosťa. Vidíte, ktorý stôl už čaká na jedlo a ktorý na platbu. RÝCHLE NABERANIE Kategórie, denné menu s polievkami a polovičnými porciami, poznámky ku kuchyni, hľadanie podľa názvu alebo PLU. Položky s doplnkami samé ponúknu, čo sa k nim hodí. BONY DO KUCHYNE Odoslanie do kuchyne s potvrdením, tlač na sieťové tlačiarne aj digitálne bony. Kuchár označí jedlo za vydané a čašník to dostane ako notifikáciu — aj na uzamknutú obrazovku. UZÁVIERKY A PREHĽADY Fiškálna uzávierka, prehľad podľa čašníkov, platobných spôsobov, DPH a predaných položiek. To isté, čo vidí manažér vo webovej kase, priamo v mobile. WIDGET NA PLOCHE Obrat dnes, otvorené účty a ich suma, stĺpce obratu za posledných päť dní. Na ploche aj na uzamknutej obrazovke, obnovuje sa sám na pozadí. FUNGUJE AJ BEZ SIGNÁLU Pokladňa pracuje z vlastnej databázy v zariadení. Keď vypadne wifi alebo dáta, naberanie účtov pokračuje a po obnovení spojenia sa všetko dosynchronizuje samo, bez duplicít. ČO JE POTREBNÉ Aplikácia je určená pre prevádzky so systémom Ellipse Cloud. Zariadenie sa spáruje jednorazovým kódom, ktorý vydá manažér prevádzky; bez neho sa dá appka vyskúšať v demo režime s ukážkovou reštauráciou. Tlač bonov a dokladov prebieha na tlačiarne v lokálnej sieti prevádzky. Ellipse Cloud je hotelový a gastro systém spoločnosti HORECA GROUP s.r.o. Viac na www.ellipsecloud.com.
