Delivery from the restaurant

Delivery from the restaurant

A new mode, Delivery , has been added to Tillypad XL POS. Now you can also deliver orders to clients via couriers or set up a takeaway service. This mode is perfectly suited for small restaurant chain delivery service.

Here you can organise payments via couriers, as well as monitor preparation and delivery time. Delivery statuses are changed automatically. To make data input easier, you can choose to use a physical keyboard or the on-screen keyboard exclusively or both keyboards together.

The System settings directory has a new panel that allows you to configure regular customer delivery address settings and guest tab delivery address settings.

Phone numbers used by customers to call in delivery orders are managed on the Phones panel

The phone number is used for searching for information about the client when the delivery order is placed.

If in Delivery mode you enter a phone number that does not yet exist in the Regular customers directory, this number is automatically added to the regular customer's phone numbers.

The Delivery addresses panel is used for managing the addresses to which customers' orders are delivered.

If in Delivery mode you enter a delivery address that does not yet exist in the Regular customers directory, this address is automatically added to the regular customer's delivery addresses.

A customer’s delivery addresses appear in the Select address window in the Enter order screen if the entered phone number matches the regular customer’s phone number from the Regular customers directory.

The UseStandardKeyboard parameter allows you to determine whether to use a physical keyboard, an on-screen keyboard, or both in Delivery mode. The default value is True.

The UseStandardKeyboard parameter can have one of the following values:

  • True – only the physical keyboard is used for data input; the on-screen keyboard is unavailable.

  • False – only the on-screen keyboard is used for data input; the physical keyboard is unavailable.

  • Both – the physical keyboard is used by default. The on-screen keyboard appears after you click on an entry field twice.
