Ordering Module Overview

Driven by a touchscreen-based interface, the Ordering Module allows servers, cashiers, and phone crew to quickly enter, update, view, and settle orders. All prices are automatically calculated, and all menu choices are prompted, ensuring an accurate and timely order.

 

In the bottom-left corner of the screen there are four order-type buttons: Dine-in , Delivery, Carry-Out , and Bar. Depending on the initial configuration of your system, one or more of these order types may be blank. In addition, some systems may have the Bar ordertype replaced with Quick. The Quick ordertype is designed to facilitate ordertaking of simple items in a counter service environment, where only a Crew ID # is required. Quick orders are processed by default as Carry-Out orders.

 

Along the bottom of the screen, a status bar displays information specific to that station. The main portion of the screen is taken up by function buttons. Each function button accesses a different component of the Ordering Module.
