Test Environment
During the integration phase, UEAT provides POS partners with access to a dedicated test environment designed to simulate real-world scenarios and validate API interactions.
UEAT's Role
UEAT will:
- Provide a non-prod API URL for sending test orders.
- Supply a standardized test menu for validation.
- Grant access to a test restaurant backoffice to monitor and manage test orders.
- Maintain access to the POS lab during and after integration to support troubleshooting and ongoing validation.
Partner Expectations
POS partners are expected to:
- Ensure their POS system can connect to the non-prod API at all time.
- During the integration project
- Once in production
- Use the provided test menu to simulate order flows.
- Use the mandatory status updates flow and the mandatory Error Handling.
- Keep the POS lab accessible to UEAT for support and diagnostics.
Test Menu Structure
The test menu includes:
- Multiple categories (e.g., Burgers, Drinks, Sides).
- Sample items with modifiers and pricing.
- Configurations that reflect common use cases.

Accessing the Test Backoffice
Partners will receive credentials to log into UEAT’s test restaurant backoffice. This interface allows:
- Viewing incoming test orders.
- Create test orders.
- Monitoring order statuses.
- Reviewing logs and payloads.
Best Practices
- Use realistic payloads and scenarios.
- Log all test interactions for review including prints if available.
- Report issues with detailed examples and timestamps.
The non-prod environment is a critical part of the integration process and remains available post-launch to support continuous validation and troubleshooting.
