Use menu courses
Menu courses can be used when booking items to give them a unique assignment of the food order. You can extensively define the menu courses .
If, for example, three of you go out for dinner and one of you orders a salad as a starter and a steak as a main course, the second one does not order a starter and orders a steak as a main course and the third one does not order a starter and orders a large salad as a main course, then the chef will probably prepare the two salads as starters and the two steaks as main courses on the basis of the order receipt alone. But there are certainly other quality reasons to use menu courses.
POS Workflow with menu...
Using the example before: The service first books the menu course starter and then the item salad can be booked, then you select the menu course main course to book the two steaks and the side salad. Menu items can therefore be positioned on the POS system as cash register functions and called up in mPOS using gestures. The presentation of the menu items on the order receipts can be customised. See Summary on main receipt and the option Cut after menu course.
Booking with menus
To activate a menu bar, the operator must press the desired number and the Menu bar function. All subsequent postings are then assigned to the selected menu. You can also combine the menu function as a macro with the respective numbers and then label the key accordingly (e.g. as a starter). To deactivate the menu function and to make bookings without assignment, press 0 (zero) + menuoption ).
If you want to change an assigned menu item, use the operation options menu.
If an item has a predefined menu course, this will be used when booking if no menu course is selected at the POS system.
So if you work with menu courses in the standard, setting the menu courses consistently can make the operator's work easier in that the items are automatically assigned to the correct menu course. This means that the operator only has to book menu items if there are deviations from the standard.
Example: Everyone eats starters but one guest only has a salad as a main course...
In this case, all items have the menu course for starters as well as for main courses. The operator books the salad last, but activates the main course menu beforehand. Thus, the salad (which would be an appetiser by default) is ordered together with the other main courses in the kitchen - both on the order receipt and in the Kitchen Monitor.
If the operator now wants to book further items, he can select a different menu path beforehand or activate the automatic menu path default again. To activate the automatic default, the manual menu must be switched off. The operator achieves this by entering the cash register functions 0 (zero) + menu operation. This command can also be placed on a key as a macro.
The menu item Enable is a special function for the planned delaying of internal orders.
If this function is activated when a transaction is completed (included in the temporary close macro), a list of the menu courses used for item bookings is displayed. The menus you now select will be released, i.e. the booked items will appear on the order receipts. You can select one, several or no menu options and confirm with OK. Schematic representation:
You can complete an operation as often as you like with the menu item Release. If you close the process with New balance (without the Releasemenu function), all receipts are created. If you complete the process with a payment type, all order receipts will also be created (probably too late then).
Use menu course release in conjunction with table transfer...
Two functions are in conflict here: the Release menu aisle waits for a release and the Table Transfer checks whether bookings have been added before a transfer in order to then output them on order receipts. In the standard system, this leads to the release of all menu courses in the event of a transfer, which is not usually desired.
If you are working with the cash register function Release menu and then most likely also want to use the table transfer, you can define a macro on the keyboard that consists of Release menu + table transfer (Release menu must be in the first position of the macro). You use this key like a standard table transfer, except that the macro requests the release of the aisles before the transfer. Thus, no menu course can be released automatically and against your will during table transfer. If the Release Menu Go function is not a macro for a table transfer, the receipt order is triggered for all bookings.
Special case of retained menu courses
Attention: If you activate the system switch Do not hold back items without production time, the menu items can no longer be held back if the items have no production times. It is then important to assign a production time to all items that are to be held back.
Menu courses and head office with locations
In the standard version, the menu paths are to be maintained uniformly by the head office; if the location is to use its own settings, this can be switched over.
