Getting started

Tea hut

Getting started at the tea hut

Your menu in the app, the rota filled, and the till taking cash, cards by QR and families' tabs. About twenty minutes before your first home day.

What you'll have at the end

  • The hatch's menu and prices, with allergens, on the app.
  • Who's on the tea hut each home day, with gaps easy to fill.
  • A till on your phone: cash, card by QR, or on a family's tab.

The steps

5 steps, about 20 minutes of your time.

  1. Members, where a role is given

    1Your role

    Ask your club's admin for the Tea hut role. With it, Club › Tea hut and the till are yours.

    About 1 minute

  2. Club › Tea hut: the menu with prices and allergens

    2The menu

    Club › Tea hut › Add an item: name, price and the fourteen allergens. Take off today anything you haven't got.

    About 10 minutes

  3. Who's on: Tea hut on every home day, and how many people

    3Who's on

    Tick Tea hut on every home day and how many people; each home day then has a tea hut rota. Anyone on it can open the till from an hour before.

    About 2 minutes

  4. Volunteers: each day's tea hut rota, with Add me

    4Fill the rota

    People › Volunteers lists every coming day's rota, the ones short of people first. Add me, or add somebody.

    About 5 minutes

  5. The till: items, the total, Cash, Card by QR and Add to a tab

    5The till

    Club › Till: tap what's sold, then Cash, Card by QR (they pay on their own phone), or Add to a tab for a family to pay later. Tap to Pay on Android takes a card on the phone itself.

    About 2 minutes

Guides for the day

What to tell the others

For the club's parents' groups before the first home day.

The tea hut takes cash, card on your own phone by QR, or puts it on your family's tab in the app to pay later.

The menu and allergens are in the app. We need two people for each home day: Add me on the rota if you can help.

If it goes wrong

"The till won't open for me."

The till opens for the tea hut role, the treasurer and admins, and anyone on that day's rota from an hour before it starts.

Add yourself to today's rota, or ask the admin for the Tea hut role.

"The QR payment didn't come through."

A card payment shows as paid when the card company confirms it; it can take a few seconds.

Wait for Paid on the till. If it never comes, take cash or put it on their tab.

"That isn't on our tab."

The family can say Not mine on the line in their app.

"Tap Not mine and the treasurer will sort it."
