Managing Meal Orders within Amicus POS Software

Howdy all

As a result of popular demand we have developed a new dialog for viewing and managing meal orders within Amicus point of sale and business management system for hospitality.

The new Meal Order manager Dialog can be accessed via the usual Meal Order Module menu as well as the Table Service screen, both for cafes and restaurants. It is designed as an easy to use full screen dialog that will display meal orders for a given date range. You can also limit the displayed results by status (open and or receipted).

There are three main buttons which have varied behaviour depending on the meal order selected. The first button is the receipt button, and if a meal order is in the open status, the dialog will send that meal order to the sale screen for receipting. If however the meal order is in the receipted status, then it will load an output dialog displaying the existing receipt (This has also been changed to allow printing directly from this dialog). The second will always print the bill for the meal order, regardless of status while the third is designed to open the meal order (only available for open orders).

Double clicking on a row will also perform specific tasks. If the meal order is ‘open’, then a double click will open the meal order. If however it has been receipted then this action will open the reprint invoice dialog.

Other tid bits of information include; The user can sort by number, description, date/time or status; If the table service module is present then there will be an additional two (table service specific) columns displayed (Diners, Last Course).

This should be a great addition to functionality for all our Point Of Sale / Hospitality Amicus POS software clients so be sure to let them know about it.
