  1. The POS application may not appear to be starting because there are multiple instances already running.

  • Click on the Processes tab and look for 'MyOrderBox'.
  • Close all instances of MyOrderBox by selecting them one by one and clicking End task until they have all been removed.

  • Restart the Server by turning off the power and restarting it
  • Once restarted, click on POS icon to start again.
  1. Should the POS still not start, contact Support.

Error shown

This usually indicates that something is corrupted, and in this case we suggest a reset. || This reset will restore to factory settings your POS application and therefore you will lose all orders currently on the POS, but will still see them in the Back Office.
