Considerations for Working with Menus

There are two important options in the Order Configuration section of the back-office:

• Print dish order in the kitchen: With this option enabled, dish orders (starters, mains, etc.) will be printed on the order ticket.

  The ticket would look like this:

                    Order: {Order}
                    Waiter: {Waiter}
                    Table: {Table}
                    Diners: {Diners}
                    {Date}
                    ---------------------------------
                    MENUS
                    ---------------------------------
                    2  [M] Daily Menu
                       [Starters]
                       1  Edamame
                       1  Karage
                       [Mains]
                       1  Soba
                          - Chicken
                       1  Unagi
                       [Desserts]
                       1  Dango
                       1  Japanese Cheesecake
  

• Print menu contents: With this option enabled, both à la carte and menu items will be printed together.

  Recommended if in your restaurant, it is possible to order à la carte and menu items at the same time.

  For example: At a table of 4 diners, 2 order the daily menu and 2 order à la carte.

  • For à la carte and menu items to be combined, the general dish order and menu dish names must be identical.
  • Menu items will be marked with an [M] for easy identification.
