-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:

 These steps are modeled in different areas of Sambapos configuration, but start in the departments designation.  The following screenshot is an example of an in-production a-la cart department:
-{{:en:guide:new-departments.png?nolink& |}}
-**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.
+{{:en:guide:new-departments.png?nolink&|}}
-**POS Menu** indicates the menu used by the POS server software for this department.
-**Terminal Menu** indicates the menu that is displayed by the terminal.  In some configurations, the terminal menu might be a subset of the POS menu, or might be formatted differently for a different screen.
+**Department Name**
-**POS Tables View** is the 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 :)

+ indicates the menu used by the [[posclients|POS application]] for this department.
-**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.

+**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]].
