Holidays are usually the busiest days of the calendar year for the establishments. And the mobile technologies are able to considerably simplify the staff’s job during these high-traffic dining days. Increasing number of guests won’t create workload for waiters. Now all guest will know if their ordered dishes are ready from the big screen in the restaurant room and waiters will get this information from the screen of the SmartTouch POS mobile terminal.

How the system of orders service works

Orders’ registration in the «Sales» screen 

Waiters register all orders in the «Sales» screen of the mobile POS terminal. Besides dishes’ designations and quantity, waiters can also specify the appropriate set of modifiers in the «Sales» screen as well as indicate visitors’ needs as to the dishes preparation. Once the orders are accepted, the waiter gives a preparation ticket to the visitor(s) where the order number and the list of dishes are printed.

The «Kitchen» window to confirm orders’ completion (or cancelation) by the cook

The «Kitchen» window is literally an automated work place of the cook. The information about placed orders is displayed in this window. The cook gets the order’s information on his tablet: what kind of dishes to be prepared, the list of their modifiers to be used and the clients’ wishes as to the preparation of dishes. Once the dishes preparation is completed, the cook clicks on the «Production completed» button to confirm the operation. In special cases (for example, if some rare ingredients are missing), the cook can cancel the order (the «Production canceled » button).

How the waiters can monitor the orders completion in the «Kitchen» and «Completed orders» screens

The waiters can track the information about orders completion on their tablets by using one of two screens:

• Kitchen— this screen provides full information about dishes and requirements as to their preparation
• Completed orders— this screen provides brief information about orders completion

Unlike the «Kitchen» screen, the «Completed orders» screen displays the number of the completed order without providing any further details about it. Just after the order being completed, a bright red square is displayed accompanied by a sound effect.

How the clients can track the completion of their orders using the «Completed orders» screen on the big monitor

The guests can track the completion of their order by its number (printed on the preparation check) on the big monitor installed in the restaurant room. New orders are highlighted in green during first 20 seconds. And all prepared orders will remain on the screen during half an hour.

Modifiers

Modifiers are additional Products (Ingredients) or Services, which can be applied to make Dishes.
Modifiers may be provided as:

• An additional Product or Ingredient (like, for example, sour cream or jam for pancakes). In this case, the «Type» field should contain the «Product» value. The required quantity of the product-modifier will be written-off from the storehouse when the Dish is sold.
• Services or notices,for example, «Serve hot». A kitchen printer will print a «Kitchen check» with a service designation on it. In this case, the «Type» field should contain the «Service» value.

To manage Modifiers, go to the Administration panel: Products\Modifiers.

Proceed to the following steps to add modifiers on the Tablet:

• Add a dish to the order (or select an already added one)
• On the Modifiers tab, add modifiers available for your dish.

There are two types of modifiers:

• General modifiers are available for all dishes. In that case, the «General» flag should be checked.
• Special modifiers are available only for certain dishes. These special modifiers are specified in the dish card.

In the modifier card you can find the «Price» field which provides additional cost of the dish due to the modifier usage.

The Mandatory selection of modifiers flag being checked allows not to lose the assignment of one of the modifiers when ordering or making a dish

Groups of modifiers

The usage of Modifiers Groups helps to simplify the process of assigning modifiers to dishes when you are building up a menu and starting sales.

As a rule, each dish has its own set of modifiers. A specific set of modifiers is called the Group of modifiers and it is recognized on the Administration panel in the Products\Groups of modifiers section.

In the Group of modifiers you can specify the minimum and maximum quantity of modifiers’ selected positions when ordering and their display order in the menu on the tablet.

Q-ty of free modifiers – determines the number of modifiers that will be released free of charge, depending on the order of their order, despite the fact that they set the price.

To create a group modifier list, click the “Add row” button.

In the new line, select the modifier from the drop-down list, specify its cost. To save a new line item, press the green button in the line

The binding of the modifier to the group and the dish takes place on the Administration panel in the Products section \ Price elements \ Item card \ Modifiers tab in the modifier table in the Modifier group field

To associate a modifier with the group or a dish, go to the Administration panel, then to the section

Products \ Price list items \ Product card \ Modifiers tab and select a modifier from the table containing the Group of modifiers field

Barcodes are used to identify Products. That’s why we recommend to equip each workplace with barcode scanners to increase work speed and avoid errors while inputting products nomenclature.  Values of all products barcodes are set on the Products detail screen in the Administration panel\Products\Products and dishes.

To input a barcode, move the cursor to the Barcode field and scan the barcode label applied to products or their packing cases.

Barcodes scanners can be connected to:

• a device which an establishment Administrator is working on in the Administration panel (laptop or PC). As an example you can use a scanner for products arrival quick processing.
• a tablet (Use for sales)

Based on the connection type, you can use a

• USB scanner
