Okay so today we're going to talk about how to build your very own self-service

kiosk.

So this applies to you if you've got a cafe, a restaurant, or some sort of a

retail store, where you want to do some sort of self-service. Whether that's to

reduce staff or just to make things more efficiently. And I needed to do this for

one of my businesses so I'm the managing director of a group of companies and one

of my businesses we're having a few difficulties with staff we wanted to

build a self-service to make things a lot more smooth and much better for

the customer so they could actually go through and choose what they wanted.

And you can see a great example of self-service at the moment with

McDonald's. So if you go into any McDonald's restaurant, you'll see these

huge tablets now they're six foot tall you go up and you start typing on them.

So McDonald's are one of the leaders in the industry actually creating this this

software and the hardware that goes with it. And they spent absolutely millions

and millions of dollars and pounds or euros actually developing this and it's

paid off really well for McDonald's. If you look at their share price since

they've implemented this their share prices just skyrocketed which gives you

an insight into what happened there they're actually making a lot more

profit from this technology by you know actually utilizing those staff that were on

the front kiosk taking your order so now put those into the into the into the

restaurant into the into the back to actually work on food processing more or

they're just simply cutting a lot of staff so that you know they're keeping

some of their best staff and some of the staff that aren't as good there may be

moving them on. So that's what McDonald's have done there the market

leader so if you've looked into this yourself you'll probably notice just how

expensive it is to build self-service and I've come up with a really really

extremely cheap way to do it. Because within this company that I've got it's

still startup it's three years in and although it's profitable it's making a

good profit the staff costs are really swallowing a lot of that profit and it's

causes very long queues I mean the queues

through the you know out the door in our shop some days are ridiculous so

self-service; bringing in a couple of kiosks is gonna solve that so let me show you

how I did it. So first thing what I did was I did the typical went on Google and

search lots of companies that build self-service and what I found which was

quite surprising for me in this is 2018 bearing in mind we're not you know 1990s

right now nearly every POS, so that's your point-of-sale service is not

offering self-service 99 percent is still the cashier behind the counter

typing it in. Which is crazy! I mean we need more tech companies to be

developing this now. So with all that said, I went around and I only found six

companies that offer self-service. And the prices range from a 10,000 pound

development through to a quarter of a million pounds which is ridiculous. It

will take too long to get my return on investment back on that. So what I did

was I did a little bit of research and I found out there was a point of sale

called square it's not a UK company it's actually an American company based out

of San Francisco and they have this fantastic software you don't have to pay

fees either on the POS like a lot of these big

companies they charge you three hundred pounds five hundred pounds or even

dollars thousand dollars a year for using their point of sale software

Square which is this here they don't charge you anything you just buy the

software buy the hardware you use the software for free and they make their

money from the actual transactions so this is the great thing about Square

fantastic we've set it up it's working great and now we're actually gonna go

from using in the shop where the cashier types in to using the self-service so

here's what I did and I had to you know go back and forth with Square a lot on

this because no one's done it before. So what we've got right now is in store we

have our cashier with the iPad so we have one of these iPads so this is a

bubble tea milkshake drink company and this is how the cashier so you come

along and you want a drink so let's say you want a milkshake you want a bubble

gum milkshake you click this and you know you select

what you want if you only jelly or anything else in it and then you really

simply just add it so that's it and then the charge. That's how the cashier is

doing it all I've done now is just alter this a little bit so it's more simple

and someone on the front can do it so as a customer you come in and you just

press this button so as an example it will be in the hardware which is here

I'll show you this in a minute we'll get it all set up in the shop and it's so

simple you simply touch your card to the reader and it pays for it and you need

to do a little bit of tweaking so I've actually had to buy an Ethernet board

from Star micronics because some of the printers most the printers with this are

bluetooth so you'll have to do if you've got a Bluetooth printer at the moment

you'll have to actually take the Bluetooth board out and replace it with

this so this is an Ethernet board. You'll then have your printer at the front of

house and they'll be connected by an Ethernet circuit so that's another

matter all in itself you really go look at

Ethernet networks but it's not hard to say that you plug it into your your

Wi-Fi router you run the wire to the printer run it to this other printer and it all

works nicely so let's head out now we pack this up we're gonna head out to the

shop which is about 30 minutes away from from my home and we're gonna get this

set up and show you how it all works all right so let's do that now

okay so we're inside the shop now and we've set up the hardware so they come

out the boxes we have the stand we have the card reader and then this is

the shop iPad. So we already had the iPad just loaded the software on it put

on the self service now the thing to note is you have to build this yourself

it's not too difficult but it does take a little bit of playing around with it

but once it's built its built then so that's set up we've got two of these set

up we've got the Ethernet printer set up and the last thing that we'll need to

do with this is to actually bolt this down so that someone doesn't just pick

it up and run off with it so what we'll do here is we'll cut out a square of the

grass same here to put this down and you actually get a toolkit with it and the

great thing about the toolkit is that you have a cleaning cloth and adhesive

mount or a drill mount so this is the drill mount took it from the other box

and I'm actually going to use this so you'll need it comes with a drill bit so

you'll actually need to drill through your counter and that goes into the

bottom of that and you haven't got the grass underneath that would be

absolutely solid no one will be able to take that and run away with it and also

the iPad, unless you actually know how to get it out no one's gonna be able to

grab that and pull it out either so that is the the hardware side all installed

now the only last thing we need to do which is the bit I said a little bit

tricky is the ethernet so with most printers especially at the back there,

they're going to be bluetooth they'll be connected to a one iPad to a printer and that

will be bluetooth all you need is you need this to connect to this but also to

connect to the printer behind the actual counter because otherwise the person

making the drinks it you know wherever you are restaurant coffee shop etc they

won't know what this and all that and unfortunately you can't

do that from the Bluetooth so it has to be an Ethernet printer so I'm going to

take this now and I'm going to take out the Bluetooth and I'm gonna install the

Ethernet in the back printer there. And the other thing to notice is this white

wire that is the ethernet wire.

That Ethernet wire comes in to a splitter (Switch) there which we'll show you in a

second and then the splitter comes in to this and then to that printer but apart

from that is fairly straightforward to set up. Okay so we just had a couple of

people trial the self service, took a little bit longer than than I expected

for it to be set up I was expecting it to take about ten minutes it's taken

about an hour as with anything a couple of technical snags I'm gonna get on this

now I'm going to order myself a drink so let's go for a green apple let's add

in some blueberry popping bubbles really simple there we go you can see the order

on screen there actually I can customize it more if I want to but I don't want to

you know, I can customize my sugar level how cold I want it, how many ect but

that's good so I'm just going to hit charge here I'm gonna take my phone and

I'm going to just use contactless

okay and then I don't know if you heard but it printed a stub here and then a stub

back there if we want to get that

all right order number three!

that's good! ;) Okay so there you have it that's how you set up a self-service

kiosk without a lot of money you know a few hundred pounds for the equipment and

Ethernet and that's it you're good to go!

Who am I looking at?

*Mumbles*

Who am I looking at you? Yeah

okay ready yeah green apple fruit tea with blueberry bubbles?

Thank you- Where's my stub at?

Community Garden Project Plans 8 - Multicultural People Gathering Together to Build A Paradise - Duration: 21:44.

Community Garden Project Plans 8 - Multicultural People Gathering Together to Build A Paradise

This is the community player update for the new communal garden here at

Nickels and dimes for nickel Street. Thank you. Hello, JC. Tell me about the day

Today's a win day organized between Salix homes and

New Deal for commuters I

Saw you down at probation service was fabulous his team of young men came in

it's okay a lot of bushes and shrubs and the fencing and

We're now just sort of the lights of stages. We hope

This is the first time we've actually been able to work on the land itself, I'm treasurer of the residents group here

What tom has been a brick whole way through for us making phone calls chasing people crime prevention

Gating it's been a long hard slog, but we're hoping that in the next four to eight weeks

People see something for all the hard work that we've done

My name - whistle waste awareness officer

property counsel

So I'm gonna give them two large

recycle bin soft little service this area because the moment recycling is very poor here because it's not full of bins in the interest of

Awfully, we put these bins up there and they will learn recycle better

Within the next six to eight weeks, I'm sure that everything all the

Trees

Growing potatoes growing our allocations that sort of thing as I said somebody I'm the 28th of this month

coming down

To do a couple of words. Where are they a frog? They're from groundwork?

This is the first actual

Project that we've undertaken with a small alleyway crew that's involved a great piece of a great deal of land. You can see what excite

You'd have seen in its first stage is it was full of bushes along here with brown fencing or what came out

And we waited a while to get the railroads in the security

I

Think we've ended up we as a community of people to still be able to sit out here a nice sunny evenings

And enjoy one another's corner. It will bring us together as a community

Great believes in diversity, we've got students we've got

All sorts of people were being here

We want to integrate everybody into the community and we hope all that will help us along the way

This looks a normal grasses like this after these guys over here teddy

See all grass I can go

This slide you can see the actual thing. Yeah. Look this is me before video

Bitch I can tell if I came here after everything got loans

These are all the rocks we dug up so far

You see more down there people are still digging you don't have that many holes as you can see we just start over here. Oh

It's still to go

There's a huge hole right here we dug that rock up I

rock this huge

know if you can see how I

Don't even know if the cameras getting justice to how huge is where I actually was it took two people to move in

Just to get it out of a hole think it's on another cornerstones of a building. It just goes to show that um,

when they tear down a building, they don't actually

Tear down the building and clear the lot it just take most of the debris zand I bury it back until the soil

So

Really need to change how we

Demo buildings, make sure that the clear stuff and take it

I'll reuse it

Break it down cuz you easily

take those limestone's and use them for something else but start to have been as

big burial stones dug deep and

Everything for 40 50 years

You see everyone's still helping out

Clearing stuff didn't

He's doing a good job bringing up the dirt

About time for me to get back to work

This is where we're at you

Can see I don't know without what I want to do because I finished up the landing out the half

It's happy that we do this anyway. Mm-hm. Oh the ladybug land on me today, which means we're doing something good

Yeah, I'm just outlining this hair

Getting it up so we can go home. This is the end of our day going

through ground to go and

Just wrapping up in general. We got a lot of plants over there. I don't even know if they are gonna go into the ground

We've still got a lot of stuff here

over there and zoom in they're actually

looking at stuff

Not seeds they're

Potatoes over there looking at potatoes right now

a

long day, a lot of people are put in a lot of work and I'm sure everyone's dogs are barking right now and

Various aches and pains are starting to set in

Stop Negro clamp

And the kids here are having fun throwing soil on the on the plant they are planting

Are you guys having fun? Yeah. Yeah more fun, too

With feed people fresh things

You know more people come out for the next time we are out here doing more work

Oh, yeah, I think we can promote it better tribute to the folks in the neighborhood

So we'll do some more commotion to get some more people out

But I think once they see things get started they'll be interested and just to get a perspective

This is the area we were working in. This is some of the other areas

and

See that house actually over there this condemned

Board it up and probably maintained by the city

But um, you can see it's not that vegetation is that I've controlled not really well maintained at all

Guys looking here. This is the absolute end of the first day seeing

new plant life growing over here

But the gardening flag

Here our store informations and just put those there

Move the rocks out of the way

basically

to make space for the

garden over here, which

marked by very sticks

It is our plant garden and

See

start

Right here and so far it's extending that far

You can see back in the back is a compost pile

So

There are quite a few plans here

Look at how much it's changed even now even though

So, yeah, that's it for

this week

doing guerilla gardening and

northing Lewis since it's a great experience and I

Will see you guys next week

I'm at the community garden where I have a plot of land as well as

other people have

plots here as well and

we

Grow vegetables here. Everything's organic. And today I'm going to show you what we do here

For me

Yes

My plot

Where I grow various things so we can take a closer look at some of the things there's okra right there

This is what baby okra looks like

This is about I don't know a week old after it came up

Those are some

Tomatoes these are the bigger Tomatoes. I'm the short kind there, but there's some kind of heirloom

Tomatoes they look pretty quick and I put my hand

Under it, you know you can see how big they are

These are cherry tomatoes. This is my giant plant. This is

There is more ripe ones before you can see them

If you're one but there's still like both all these tomatoes are pretty small in general like right there

There is a pretty interesting plant that is called

Climbing spinach with the red stem and

It's not exactly spinach as far as I understand

It's not really spinach at all, but it's called it because it can be substituted for spinach during the summer

Time and it has similar I guess

Nutritional values as well as in the back. You can see a lot of basil and another plant tomato plant that is kind of

Struggling a little bit here the potatoes with the potato flowers over there

Then there's

You probably can give this is corn

Close-up of corn

for you

It's about half my

size

Then there's another tomato plant that is still

young one

this one is

Garlic Flint

In section of the plant agenda. There's a guy with pinion

this is how the garlic looks when it grows and in the back over there that some

onions green onions that are actually we're getting close to being

Ready to be pulled out with these ones

This is

Celery it's going to be a celery which it's not supposed to be growing in the summer, but somehow it's going into summer

Hopefully it'll keep growing

This is not my plot this is somebody else's plot actually like it's a lot of schoolchildren

I

Don't know melon or something. That's really sure what it is. There's actually another interesting thing

This is a watermelon

climbing watermelon, I guess and

what we did this Saturday we put

Penny house and then and so now they're gonna grow inside pendejo

It's kind of interesting. I think these are cantaloupes

There is more of them actually down there

And the last thing I'm gonna show you is these

cucumbers

get a really cool look at the flower and it's

ready, and there is tons and tons of

them inside there, but

I'll just show you one this time

Mr. Williams

My name is Peter when I worked for Mary Queen fitnah

Community Development Corporation, my main job is

project manager for community garden

Besides that whatever job required for for us to form

My community service you also provide the translation for community members that doesn't speak English. I

Was born in Vietnam I came here when I was 11

our family was

Basically educated get my college degree up and also

Move down to Florida and decided to some farming

But what I know

From from the point of entry here in United States from from there to now

It's all American

this is the first time that I

even live in an area that has so many Vietnamese in this place and

I'm glad to be here because

Many time I feel I'm losing I lose in my language and and

Only been here four months, but I've been learning a lot

Look basically learning new words, and hopefully that

I know this my language getting better and better every day

It's like all activities or what people can and have to all things to do

Partners to like to come and show the pride what they've grown

And and and share to to the community, you know, that's I can grow this, you know

And it's good enough for me to eat. So it should be good enough for you to eat too. So they bring it out

The community I

Mean with all the modern grocery stores, they can shipped in tongues and housing economy

almost anything

But that

That's too easy

You know you gotta do

You gotta know where it come from

How

How the food became and how a good woman when it's enter your body you need to know

Where it come from that's why were promoting organic only. It's

Before I was farming came up chemically because that's the fastest way to get things done

So for now because we will find the land fit we don't want none of that in a community

We want to be a healthy one

Or reason we want to do a community garden because that value water. We're not sure it is clean

It's the same body body of waters. Run run by the the land care that waste management

Dump X basically right next to them

so any drainage from from landfill, they turn into the

Value and it runs through the community and we're not sure the water is clean enough for them to use it to to irrigate

The vegetables and food. I recently been visiting some

Some of the homes from the garden and catalog what they grow

So that when we have a good community garden, we're trying to persuade people not to plant the same thing

because a lot of people

Basically, there are basically eat the same type of vegetables and everybody

If you have 30 40 gardener, thanking the same thing

There are other herbs that we need it won't won't get you know gross so I coward them

so later on we have a garden when we when we divide the lot and a sign and I'll run them out to

people, you know

We're trying to do I have some kind of system to have say okay this season you plant

Just this amount of herb and vegetable and then next season you get to plant something else

the root is

They'd here to stay

There they're not here to plan one day to go all back to Vietnam

Otherwise, they wouldn't know we're gonna be opening up businesses and sends a cheering - she's good University

Family they're here to stay that then

That's temporary place

Even though they're the culture is back

Go there visit anytime. This is their home. This is where that work and churches are growing up

How to build an emergency savings fund in three steps - Duration: 1:59.

Narrator: So, do you have money saved just for emergencies?

Yes…no. I'm really trying to deal with, like, getting though school first.

Female: Yeah. Male: Yup.

No. [Laughs]

Well, this is the first time I'm hearing this term…emergency savings fund?

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Woo!

Wow, that's quite a lot.

If I go ahead and pay myself first, save it first, then I'm like, "Okay, this is all we have for the month, so let's see what we can do with it!"

It's one of those things where, I've started—like I have multiple savings accounts

for separate things. So, you know, I can have all my holidays

and gifts and all that. That fun can be over here, while I'm saving up for something big, like law school, over here.

I use a ton of apps online that like, it helps you—it gives you your statements throughout the week, so it tells you

how much you spent on groceries and how much you spent on clothes or whatever.

So it helps you manage your savings for the month.
