Automatic crashes

With automatic crashes you don’t have to remember anything: while the market is open, a random drink crashes after a random pause.

Who can do this: owners and managers.

Only drinks with Auto switched on take part. Switch it in the drinks list, in the edit panel (Takes part in automatic crashes), or for many drinks at once with Auto crash on.

Under Settings → Automatic crashes:

Setting Effect
Min. pause (minutes) and Max. pause (minutes) After each crash, the next automatic one waits a random time between these two. Default 10 to 20 minutes.
Crash duration (minutes) How long an automatic crash lasts. Default 5 minutes.
Only from … until Optional time window in your outlet’s time, e.g. 20:00 to 00:00. It may pass midnight. Empty = whenever the market is open.
At most at the same time How many crashes (manual, planned and automatic together) may run at once.

An automatic crash picks one drink at random, never the same one twice in a row. It waits while another crash runs.

At the top of Drinks, the strip TODAY shows Next auto crash in with a countdown. Skip moves it to a later time.

Switch Auto off on all drinks (tick all, then Auto crash off). Nothing else is needed.
