Limits and known issues

  • Replacing or editing a link rotates it: the old link stops working at once.
  • Anyone with the link can see the price check page, so share it only on the device that needs it.
  • A QR menu link is public by design. Unpublish the menu to stop it.
  • A downgraded business can still view and revoke an active link but cannot generate new ones.

Security

What Simplebks stores and how you take it back.

  • No customer data on the kiosk. It answers a price and stock status question for the products you hold.
  • Revoke any time. Press Revoke on the location's link.

Not supported yet

  • An API for the kiosk or the customer display.

FAQ

Does the kiosk need a login?

No. The link works without a staff login, so keep the link on the counter device.

Can each branch have its own link?

Yes. Every location can have its own link, and replacing one never affects another.

How do I stop a link working?

Press Revoke, Replace or edit the link. The old link stops at once.

Which plan do I need?

The Professional or Enterprise plan. Display ads need Enterprise.
