Set up the menu
Your menu is your product list. In a restaurant, three fields matter most: the category, the food type and the sort order.
Steps
-
Categories are menu sections
Starters, Main Course, Drinks, Desserts. The waiter app and the till's order screen show them as tabs, so a waiter jumps straight to Drinks.
-
Every dish gets a food type
It decides which kitchen prints the dish. See "Food types".
-
Put the best sellers first
Sort order: dishes numbered 1, 2, 3… come first, in that order, and the rest follow by name. The web and the app use the same order.
-
Portions and sizes
Quarter, half and full, or small and large, are variants with their own price. The waiter picks one when adding the dish.
-
Prices and tax
Set each dish's tax and whether its price includes it. The bill shows the tax either way.
