Moneris Core Restaurant
Moneris Core Restaurant is a function that allows you to easily integrate your Moneris terminal with your restaurant POS, creating efficiency for you and convenience for your customers. Multiple Moneris terminals can communicate with the restaurant POS at the same time.
- With Moneris Core Restaurant, you can use your terminal or terminals to:
- retrieve a server’s open tables and access receipt information from your restaurant POS with the ability to incorporate this information into various receipt formats, including e-receipts
- select one of the open tables and process payment from each customer at the table, including identifying the customer’s tender type (debit, credit, gift card) at the card entry prompt
- split the bill in multiple ways, including by seat/check, by amount, and by number of persons
- remotely process cash payments to close out the cash portion of a bill on the restaurant POS (provided that the terminal is configured to integrate cash)
- allow customers to enter a tip on the terminal, including tipping on the final dollar amount or on the pre-tax subtotal (when configured)
Before getting started
Before setting up your Moneris terminal for restaurant POS integration, you must do the following:
- Set up your terminal’s hardware and software.
- For wireless terminals: Disable cellular communication (if applicable), enable Wi-Fi, and set up a Wi-Fi connection.
- When using an IP network, ensure that your terminal always uses the same IP address in order to maintain a connection to your POS. You can accomplish this in 2 ways. Choose one:
- Configure the network setup on your Moneris terminal to use static IP addressing. At the Main menu, tap Settings, Communication, and Communications setup, then follow these instructions.
- Continue to use dynamic IP addressing, which is the default on your Moneris terminal, but configure your router to always assign the same IP address to the terminal. Contact your network team / IT department for assistance if needed.
- Ensure you can process transactions in standalone mode (not integrated) to verify your terminal is connected to your own network and to the Moneris Host.
Restaurant POS integration methods
There are two basic methods for integrating your Moneris terminal with your restaurant POS: direct and cloud. Each one supports various communication types, depending on which terminal you are using.
Integration method | Options |
Direct |
Direct integration through Ethernet on a common network All communication between your Moneris terminal and your restaurant POS takes place within your Ethernet network. |
Direct integration through Wi-Fi on a common network All communication between your Moneris terminal and your restaurant POS takes place within your local Wi-Fi network. | |

Troubleshooting restaurant POS integration
Request and response messages
Your Moneris terminal obtains table information by sending request messages to your restaurant POS. For example, the terminal sends the “getTables” request to obtain table information for an individual employee or server. If you experience problems related to table information, review the request and response messages shown here. For assistance, contact your restaurant POS provider / integrator.
Request message | Details |
getTables |
Retrieves the open tables for an employee when they log on to the terminal to process a purchase.
If the terminal is unable to communicate with the restaurant POS, check your terminal configuration settings. Refer to Setting up restaurant POS integration on your terminal. If the terminal does not receive a valid response message, review any error messages sent from the restaurant POS, and contact your restaurant POS provider or your integrator as applicable. |
getTable |
Retrieves information for a specific table selected by the employee. The response message can include various optional elements:
If your terminal fails to display information for a specific table, or fails to retrieve a specific element, contact your restaurant POS provider or your integrator as applicable. |
applyPayment |
After a successful payment on the Moneris terminal, the terminal sends an “applyPayment” request to the restaurant POS to apply payment information to the check and ensure both systems are in sync.
