Tylor Emmett's projects, both for business and pleasure.
This is more of a way around a restriction in Micros RES added in version 5.6: SIM files are stored in the database and expected to be managed via Micros Enterprise Management. For one of my clients the use of EM for this was undesirable, while others simply don’t use EM in the first place. […]
This was a smaller project, in which we created a dynamic touchscreen setup for a system whose button count needed to vary based on an external system. The reason I find this interesting, and worth posting, is that the current SIM documentation doesn’t really cover the extended (and better) function for this (SetISLTsKeyX), only the […]
For this project, the client was looking to collect a few types of data to be displayed/stored with a centralized service. The pieces that I assisted with were related to Labor data, and Cash Management data. For labor data, the challenge was due to the use of Micros’s cloud services (specifically Micros myLabor), which do […]
This project was for the same client as the previous tipping solution; as the project evolved, certain issues arose from the previous solution that were undesirable. As with the first solution, the main challenge for this project is that Micros RES 5.5 does not transfer service charges. When orders come in via the PosResApi (common […]
This was a proof of concept I built for Ruby Tuesday, using Azure/ASP, C# .Net and Micros ISL to integrate Twilio SMS messaging into a Micros RES 3700 system. For this test, we wanted to have the ability to text customers on to go orders, and have them alert the POS system when they arrive […]
This was another project that was sort of training for me, it involved updating a pair of web apps we currently use to better handle closed stores. At the time, a closed store would cause either of the apps to fail (displaying blank screens where it should show data). Fixing this required rewriting the way we […]
For this project, we were looking for ways to give General Managers access to their store’s email account on their mobile devices. The issue with that is that we use a single sign on system, and they don’t typically see their own passwords. So, to accomplish this, we had to create and modify a couple of […]
Though we do a pretty good job of keeping our technology recently up to date, we do still have some processes that are unnecessarily done on paper. For this project, the requirements were relatively simple: I was given a copy of the paper form, and asked to create a web page to replace it. This […]
This project was for a client on contract, so I’m not able to share source code or specific details, but the problem is one that any company running Micros RES could potentially encounter: applying tips to specific employees from online orders. For most systems, online ordering solutions use the Micros RES API, which provides easy […]
Indirect Tipping, a fairly common practice in the casual dining sector, is essentially tips being transferred from a server to other support staff in the front of house (hosts and bussers for instance). Think of it as tip sharing. We had designed a system to accomplish this automatically years ago, but it had several bugs and […]
