Adding an item to an order

As soon as the first menu item is added, a new order is created on the guest tab.

Select an item or its shortcut from the menu;

Note

Different ways of entering an item into an order:

  • by pressing an assigned shortcut key on a keyboard attached to the terminal;

  • by scanning its barcode;

  • by entering its selection code (if it has one assigned);

The selected item will either be added to the order immediately, or the editor window will open for entering additional item parameters.

If the Volume of a menu item is defined as editable, and the terminal has scales attached, the volume can be entered by placing the item on the scales.
