Departments group your items on the POS: think of Hot drinks, Cold drinks or Kitchen. You manage them via Restaurant, Article, Departments (Restaurant, Artikel, Departementen), or via Bookmarks (Bladwijzers) and then Departments.
Creating a new department#
Go to Restaurant, Article, Departments.
Select a department with similar settings and press the copy icon to make a copy of it.
Change the name and the group of the department and add the sales areas you want.
Link the supplements and condiments to the department:
- Condiment: unpaid additions that apply to all items in the department, such as 'Don't make', '2 glasses', 'Rare' or 'Medium'.
- Supplement: paid additions that apply to all items in the department, such as '+ pepper sauce' or '+ whipped cream'.Press Ok. The department is now on the POS.
Tip
Write the department name in capitals. It is easier to read on the POS screen.
To learn how to create those condiments and supplements yourself, read Modifiers, options and supplements.
Order of the departments#
The department number sets the order on the order screen. Open the department, change the number and the order changes with it.
Order of the items#
Items appear in a fixed order based on their item number. Here is how to change that:
Open the department in which you want to change the order.
Go to the Normal articles tab.
Choose the icon for the POS (left) or for the handheld (right): you set the order per device.
Drag the items to the right place.
Useful buttons for this:
Sort by number sets the order to match the item numbers.
Sort by name puts the items in alphabetical order.
Set PC order (visible in the handheld order) makes the order on the handhelds match that of the POS.
Good to know
Added articles (tab 3) are sorted separately and appear at the end of the item list on the POS.
Showing an item in an extra department#
Items appear automatically in the department they are assigned to. If you also want to show an item somewhere else, add it manually:
Select the department to which you want to add items.
Go to the Added articles tab and choose New or Duplicate.
Click the button with the three dots to search for an item.
Search for and select the item you want to add.
