Micros 3700 API

[smartcard2]

Is there a way of interface or API to connect a iMenu tablet system to Micros 3700? so when a guest selects a menu item from tablet based iMenu card the order is pushed to Micros POS?

This is straight out of the MICROS documentation.

Third-party developers can implement their own POS Client Applications using the MICROS RES POS API.

This is done by establishing an interface link to RES 3700 POS Transaction Services through the use of specialized POS clients. The API allows these clients to access certain POS functions such as opening tables and guest checks, starting orders, and applying payments and discounts.

Examples of specialized POS clients are:

Remote or local guest ordering from Kiosks

Remote guest ordering or centralized order dispatch utilizing Web Services

Open table/guest check control and guest experience time management via Table Management Systems

Guest payment approval using mobile phones or PDAs

POS Transaction services are accessible on a local client PC using a COM interface or on a remote client using a Web Service. Licensing is required. Third-party clients will require a RES 3700 activation code in order to connect to the API and post transactions to the database.

For more on this feature or information about the POS API Developers Program, please contact your local MICROS representative.

Hi themicrosman,

Thanks for this info. I want to know if MICROS RES POS API has a license to activate?

 

[themicrosman]

It appears so.
Third-party clients will require a RES 3700 activation code in order to connect to the API and post transactions to the database.

As a client yes, you have to buy an activation code.
As a developer you have to pay a licensing fee to be allowed to create 3rd party applications that connect through the API.

And last I checked getting into that development was... $10,000 I think?

 

[pmegan]

I remember a 3rd party developer complaining about the cost a few years ago and it was more than double that. I don't know what it costs these days though.

 

[Moregelen]

Hmmm. It is either 10,000 or 30,000 right now. I don't actually know which one for sure; it was some prohibitively expensive number, unless you already have a product lined up you know you'll make it back on though.
