        Waiter: Luke Skywalker 
        Table: 5 
        Diners: 2 
        {Date} 
        ---------------------------------
        STARTERS                            --> Dish 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 rare 
        1  [M] Paella

        1  Crème Catalan 
        1  [M] Seasonal fruit 
  

  IMPORTANT: For this option to work, it's essential that the names of the dish orders and menu dish orders are exactly the same.

  Without this option activated, menu and à la carte dishes would appear separately. Very useful for businesses that combine menus with other products.

TAKEAWAY:

IMPORTANT: These options will only work if your app's working system is set to Takeaway POS or Takeaway.

• Print to kitchen when paying: Activate to print kitchen or bar products at the same time when closing an order (paying).

• Print waiting ticket: With this option activated, a waiting ticket with sequential numbering will be printed for the customer, allowing them to be called by their waiting number.

  IMPORTANT: If you want to use this option, it's essential that the printer has multi-session enabled to print the invoice and the waiting ticket together. Otherwise, you won't be able to use it because the printer won't be able to print two consecutive tickets.

• Check stock: Activate to not accept Revo orders ONLY with out-of-stock products.
