Magic Button – a quick button for staff

Magic Button is a small physical button you place where it's useful – at the bar, in the kitchen or at a table. With a single press it performs a predefined action in Vendion, without anyone having to walk to the till.

What can a button do?

Each button can also tell apart press, double-press and hold – so one button can do three different things.

Where do I manage it?

You'll find Magic Button under Admin → Enheter → Magic Button (Devices). It's a licensed feature – if the tab isn't showing, the feature isn't enabled for your restaurant (get in touch and we'll sort it out).

How to get started:

1. Go to Admin → Enheter → Magic Button (Devices)
2. Make sure the hub is connected and the buttons are paired with it. Ask Vendion for help with installation. If you complete the connection yourself, use Lägg till Flic Hub → Kopiera modul (Add Flic Hub → Copy module) and follow the dialog’s instructions for Flic Hub Studio → Create Module → Save & Run. Copy the prepared configuration without editing it
3. Press a physical button once – it then appears automatically in the list
4. Tap Configure on the button and choose:
   • Gesture (Press / Double-press / Hold)
   • Action (Order & send to kitchen, Service alert or Request bill)
   • The table it applies to
   • For ordering: which item and quantity
5. Save – done

Good to know:

• New buttons don't need to be added manually – they register when the connected hub sends their first button press.
• You can rename each button so you know which one sits where.
• The buttons show reported battery level in the list when available so you can see when it's time to change the battery.
• A ticket from Order & send to kitchen is printed with the destination's ticket template and looks like a normal ticket from the POS.

Tip: A "Request bill" button at every table, or an "order the house beer" button at the bar, saves staff a lot of steps on a busy evening.
