Captain’s log (grovelling apologies)
After 13 long years including 3 identical till systems,it was time for a upgrade with my old one dying I’ve spent ages picking a new one and eventually I chose Square, its far more technical than my old system what could possibly go wrong…………….I’ve had several hours of tutorials and last Tuesday was the day. Monday I spent hours opening up everything charging everything, but I couldn’t get the Apple Ipad to fit the cradle one quick phone call and they’ve sent the wrong iPad keep the old one they said, nice.
And Tuesday we were off and for a hour boom everything was great then bang technology i thought, one printer that was sent to was the wrong model so another one arrived on Wednesday and so we were good to go………
Saturday arrived and with it a busy day and boy I nervous awake at 5am work by 7 come on Powelly boy it’s going to be brilliant, far from it, checks were missing, some through 10 minutes after the staff had sent them some still out there not sure where they are and I had the most uncomfortable 4 hours telling people that they couldn’t come in as I need to calm down the number of people from what was 150 down to a manageable 70 or so. So I do apologise if you were one of the several 100 I had to refuse entry to. We couldn’t even serve customers at the bar because of issues.
Sunday morning early start with the team and it looks like we might have found the problem………. Our WiFi was installed some 12/14 years ago and apparently techno has moved on and the new equipment can’t use or barely use the old system 🙈😂🙈 so for Sunday we turned off all 3 Sonos music systems (pub was quiet) no staff using there phones no laptop use for me, trying to keep all the power for the till and it worked all being a little slow nothing went astray and so we fed the masses
Pictures are just random 😂😂😂 but mostly my happy times 😂😂😂
