Intro to Rapp

RAPP Switch Guide

Intro to rapp

● Full native Android application built to replace

the VendorBackend (VBE) on pandora
● Native Android application minimizes system
resources that are required and ensures that
the app runs smoother and faster compared
to the “old” VBE which heavily relies on more
demanding web technology
● VBE is old technology that will be deprecated
after the rollout of RAPP
● Device Authentication, ‘One-click log in’ (no
need for passwords)
● Built/recommended for tablets (landscape
mode only) + optimized for mobile

Why Switch?

RAPP Switch Guide

Why Switch?

• Current restaurant application is slow and provides an inconsistent

user experience - amplified by the surge in chain partnerships and
the volume they bring

• There is urgency because infrastructure is tightly coupled to

platform and there is minimal support/maintenance for legacy
restaurant-facing technology

• There should be no ‘downtime’ for the restaurants (lost orders)

General Approach: things to know

❖ Device ID/ Serial Number is reflected at the bottom right of the login page / it is the primary
identifier for authentication

❖ Tip: Restarting a tablet does wonders!

❖ When an issue occurs that is not already included in the guidelines or is marked as resolved,
please document it and notify in the appropriate slack channel, always provide order
code/vendor code
❖ Slack battlestations:
❖ Switching existing restaurants and troubleshooting - #rapp-rollout-{2 digit country code}

❖ Onboarding new restaurants / requesting for ID - #rapp-device-mgt

Orders Processing Issues 1
❖ Orders stuck on 49 (= waiting for a rider to accept order)

1. Check that the Delivery Platform and the Checkbox `RPS` is set for the Vendor in the Backend
2. Verify that the affected Vendor has different ID's in the Backoffice (`external Id` and `id` must be different!)
3. If the ID's are the same or one of the ID is `pending` notify it in the channel with the hint that the order is
stuck in 49. If you have the possibility share the Device SN as well.
4. If the ID's are different check that a `Private UUID` is set for this device
5. If everything is correct please notify in the slack channel that the order is stuck.

Orders Processing Issues 2
❖ Orders not received on Rapp (53s)
➢ If issue is duplicate accounts in back office: verify serial number with vendor and delete the account with
the wrong serial number
