Printing menu products as normal items is useful if you sell both à la carte products and menus. By default, they are printed separately, but by enabling this option, the ticket becomes shorter and easier to read.
Example of menu ticket as normal items:
Order: 1234
Waiter: Peter
Table: 5
Diners: 2
{Date}
---------------------------------
STARTERS → Course order
---------------------------------
1 Goat cheese salad → À la carte product
1 [M] Green Salad → Menu product (M)
---------------------------------
MAIN COURSES
---------------------------------
1 Filet mignon with foie gras
- Medium
1 [M] Paella
---------------------------------
DESSERTS
---------------------------------
1 Crème Brûlée
1 [M] Seasonal Fruit
Menu products have an [M] to identify them.
Example of ticket WITHOUT the option activated to print menus as normal items:
Order: 1234
Waiter: Peter
Table: 5
Diners: 2
{Date}
---------------------------------
STARTERS → À la carte course order
---------------------------------
1 Goat cheese salad → À la carte product
---------------------------------
MAIN COURSES
---------------------------------
1 Filet mignon with foie gras
- Medium
---------------------------------
DESSERTS
---------------------------------
1 Crème Brûlée
---------------------------------
MENUS → The menu prints separately
---------------------------------
1 DAILY Menu
[STARTERS]
1 Green Salad
[MAIN COURSES]
1 Paella
[DESSERTS]
1 Seasonal Fruit
As you can see, it is easier and quicker to read the ticket when menu and à la carte products are printed together.
HOW TO ENABLE THE OPTION TO PRINT MENUS AS NORMAL ITEMS
1. Access the back office of Revo XEF.
2. Go to Configuration / ORDER CONFIGURATION.
3. Under Menu, activate As normal products.
4. Verify that the names of the course order and the menu course order are exactly the same.
- Check the names of the Course Order.
- Make sure that the menu course order name matches.
The order in which they appear does not matter; they just need to have the same name.
