Captain Aurest App Settings

The Captain Aurest App settings are an essential part of system integration, enabling you to connect the app to the database, customize the interface, configure printers, and manage user permissions. The app also supports ongoing updates and synchronization to ensure stable performance, whether operating with the local system (Aurest) or the cloud-based system (Hyper Aurest).



✅ First: Database Connection Methods

The Captain Aurest App can be connected using two main methods:

1️⃣ Local Connection ( Aurest System)

The app connects to the local computer running the POS software via the internal network.

Required connection details:

◾ Computer IP address
◾ Database name
◾ SQL Server username
◾ SQL Server password

✍️ Note: The SQL Server username and password are created via the SQL Server Management Studio installed during the setup of the Aurest system.


2️⃣ Cloud Connection (Hyper Aurest System)

The app connects to the Hyper Aurest cloud platform without needing a local network or internal server.

Required connection details:

◾ Restaurant ID (provided upon subscription)
◾ Registered account email
◾ Account password

This method is ideal for managing multiple branches or remote operations.


✅ Second: Customization and Interface Settings

Within the “Customization” screen in the app, you can configure how the interface appears:

  • Number of displayed table cells

  • Number of group and item cells

  • Display mode for order types (list or grid)

  • Image source for items (database – attachments – no images)

  • Option to show the payment screen after saving an order

  • Set which order types will automatically trigger the payment screen

These settings help tailor the user experience to the size and nature of your restaurant.


✅ Third: Printer Settings within the App

You can configure printer options directly from the app for fast and accurate printing:

  • Supported printer types:
    – USB
    – IP
    – Built-in (on-device printer)

  • Assign printers to specific item groups (e.g., send meals to the kitchen printer, drinks to the bar printer)

  • Enable auto-printing or sequential printing when saving or closing orders


✅ Fourth: User, Language, and Sync Settings

  • Log in with the user password linked to their permissions

  • Change language from the interface (Arabic – English – French – Turkish)

  • Manually sync with the server (requires sync password)

  • Check for updates and view current app version

  • Secure logout option


✅ Fifth: App Info and Subscription Details

Under the “About Aurest” section, you can review:

  • App version number

  • Subscription status (Active / Expired)

  • Restaurant name

  • Technical support contact info


✨ Purpose of Captain Aurest App Settings:

◾ Ensure proper and seamless integration with the Aurest or Hyper Aurest system
◾ Customize the interface based on the restaurant’s operational needs
◾ Accurately configure printer assignments by item group
◾ Support system stability through regular updates and synchronization
