If something goes wrong

"No staff accounts found. Please add a staff member to continue."

With an Android Master, the PIN settings need staff set up on the POS. Add a staff member in Nomni Console, sync the POS, then SYNC Settings here.


"No staff PINs found. Please assign a PIN to at least one staff member."

Give at least one staff member a PIN, then sync.


"Connecting to Master Device" keeps retrying

Check both iPads are on the same Wi-Fi and the POS Platform matches your Master. Then see "How to connect Nomni POS with Table Ordering".


The Wi-Fi dropped

When the Wi-Fi comes back, the app shows "Reconnecting to Master Device.." and reconnects to the last Master POS by itself. If it keeps retrying, follow the steps above.


"A discount has been applied to your order, do you want to cancel the applied discount and redeem this coupon?"

A customer scanned a coupon on an order that already has a discount. Tap YES to remove the discount and use the coupon, or NO to keep the discount.


"Redeem Coupon" – "Once redeemed, the Coupon cannot be returned"

The customer is redeeming a prize coupon, for example from spin the wheel. Tap CONTINUE to use it now or CANCEL to keep it for later.


"The scanned QRCode is invalid"

The app didn’t recognise the QR code. Check it’s a coupon or prize from your venue and try again.


Tables missing

Tap RELOAD under Table to reload supported tables from the Master.
