- | The **A-la Cart** department type represents the dine-in portion of our example restaurant. This designation is important, because it models the kind of workflow needed to run the dining room. When implementing a POS, you must consider, from a pure process perspective, the events that occur from the time a customer enters the establishment and indicates that he or she wants to eat-in, until the time that customer pays and departs. Each operation is slightly different, but most conform to the following processes: | + | ====== A-la Carte ====== |

+ | **Department Name** | ||
+ | is the name of the department of the restaurant. This name becomes the text on the bottom of the POS screen that the server clicks/touches to switch between delivery, dine-in, and take out departments. Larger operations can have seperate terminals for each of these departments if needed. This functionality is covered in the "Terminals" configuration screen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **POS Menu** | ||
+ | indicates the menu used by the [[posclients|POS application]] for this department. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Terminal Menu** | ||
+ | indicates the menu that is displayed by the [[posclients|terminal application]]. In some configurations, the terminal menu might be a subset of the POS menu, or might be formatted differently for a different screen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **POS Tables View** | ||
+ | is the default graphical layout of tables within the restaurant. Laying out tables graphically can help new servers find a table faster, as the layout can be relative to the POS physical position within the restaurant. It also looks better :) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Terminal Tables View** | ||
+ | is the default table view on [[posclients|terminal application]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Price Tag** | ||
+ | defines the active price list. If you have [[multiple price lists]] set the active price list here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Open Tickets View** | ||
+ | sets the configuration for the view of tickets within the POS software. Open Tickets View is a special ticket view that appears when you close ticket view or if you doesn't use a table view. It displays only open (active) tickets. Here, you set the number of columns, and if you use [[ticket tags]] you can set the default tag that groups the open tickets by their tag. POS default tag is for the [[posclients|POS application]] and the terminal default tag is for the [[posclients|terminal application]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Department Type** | ||
+ | indicates the type of the department, as documented in [[departments]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Numerators** | ||
+ | specifies the internal counters for tickets and orders. Each ticket and each order get's a unique number, generated in sequence, to help the software (and the operator) identify a particular ticket. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Ticket Tags** | ||
+ | list contains the active [[ticket tags]]. Use add / remove buttons for choosing tag groups for this department. |
