Sales parameters
Sales parameters determine what properties of menu items can be adjusted when they are added to orders at terminals.
Sales parameters are assigned to menu items and their shortcuts when entering them in the and directories.
They allow adjustment of:
-
volume (weight, quantity, time);
-
price;
-
course;
-
quantity.
There are two methods of adjustment:
-
when adding a menu item to an order and when editing a menu item that has already been added to an order (depicted by the '+' symbol);
-
only when editing (depicted by the '*' symbol).
Sales parameters also determine whether a menu item or shortcut is an independent item for sale, or whether it is intended for use only as a modifier with other items.
If the sales parameter for a menu item or shortcut enables adjustments when adding the item to an order, the editor window will open on when the item is selected in the terminal menu. The editor window will contain fields for editing the properties that are specified in the sales parameter as adjustable. If the sales parameter enables adjustments only when editing the item, then when it is selected in the menu it will be added to the order immediately, without the editor window opening. Adjustments can then be made by selecting the item in the order and editing it.
Sales parameters are managed in the directory.
Sales parameter configuration is divided into groups of settings:
-
Modifier — selected only for menu items that are to be used as modifiers for other menu items.
If the Modifier parameter is selected, the menu item can old be sold as a modifier and cannot be sold separately.
-
Quantity ((Q*), (Q+)) — allows the number portions of the item added to the order to be adjusted.
-
Course ((C*), (C+)) — allows the order in which the item should be served to be adjusted.
-
Volume ((V*), (V+)) — allows the volume (weight, quantity, time) to be adjusted.
-
Price ((P*), (P+)) — allows the price of the item to be adjusted.
The * symbol denotes that adjustment can be made only when editing the item after it has been added to an order.
The + symbol denotes that adjustment can be made on adding the item to an order and on editing.
If a setting with the * symbol is marked as No, then its equivalent setting with the + symbol cannot be selected.
Note
From here on, 'menu items' will refer to both menu items and menu item shortcuts.
