7. Now we can navigate to our restaurant and place a live test order. You may do so by navigating to the proper restaurant location in your account and choosing "Menu" in the top navigation. You'll notice a button in the lower left of the webpage that states, "Preview Menu". From here, you can place a mock order to ensure the order reaches the Order Management application.

Troubleshooting Tips

Installation Issues

1. Ensure that the Microsoft .NET Framework 4+ is installed. (The install will notify if this is required; can be downloaded from Microsoft's official website here.)

2. Check that you are running the most recent version of the application:

  • Navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\Online Ordering\Order Management (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Online Ordering\Order Management)

  • Run WyUpdate.exe. NOTE: You may be prompted to close processes if the application is running.

If you are still experiencing issues, try uninstalling OrderManagement by launching the installation executable, and then re-installing.

Not Receiving Orders Through Order Notifier

Often times, the windows event logs are a great place to start.

  1. Run Event Viewer (Start -> Run prompt &rarr eventvwr)

  2. Select "Windows Logs" -> "Application" to view the Application log.

  3. If you notice errors associated with a Source of OrderingService, you'll want to note these and copy them into a reply for support. The date and timestamp of the event will usually coincide around the time of the order.
