After passing the network test, your POS terminal will display a Merchant Pin and Token screen. The Pin and Token are required to onboard your restaurant’s database, including your menu and users onto the terminal.
- Text "TOKEN" to CAKE Support at (855)696-2253 to request your Merchant Pin and Token.
- Enter the Merchant Pin and Token into the first terminal.
- Important: Allow the terminal to fully boot up and complete the onboarding process before moving to the next terminal.
- Repeat this process for each additional POS terminal.
Once your POS has fully booted up, the screen will display the ‘Owner O.’ user. Select this user to begin the sign-in process.
- You will be prompted to enter the current password. Use the Pin number provided by CAKE Support.
- After entering the current password, you’ll be prompted to create a new 4-digit password.
- Enter your desired 4-digit password, which will be used for all future logins, and then select Save to confirm.
With your POS terminal(s) set up, powered on, and onboarded, your CAKE system is well on its way to being fully operational. The next step is to configure your supporting hardware, such as printers, cash drawers, and payment cubes, to ensure seamless functionality during daily operations.
