How to configure “hot keys” for Table Service Food and Beverage and Quick Service Food and Beverage module items
In a Food Service environment that utilizes keyboards, the use of programmable keyboard codes/single key lookup functionality can assist in allowing operators to complete sales more rapidly. Programmable keyboard codes allow operators to select an item for sale by pressing a single key on the keyboard.
To configure “hot keys” for Table Service Food and Beverage and Quick Service Food and Beverage items:
1. In SysManager, select an item from the DCI that you would like operators to be able to sell via a single keystroke.
2. On the Sales Action tab, press the Programmable Keyboard Code button.
3. To assign the programmable keyboard code, select the key on the keyboard that you would like to use to sell the item.
4. Press Save.
5. In Sales, click on Tools > SalesPt Setup > Miscellaneous.
6. Select the Single Key Lookup radio button.
7. When selecting items, the keyboard key you associated with the item now automatically puts the item into the sales invoice when pressed.
Exercise:
1. Assign a programmable keyboard code to an existing item.
2. Sell the item from the salespoint using the new key configuration.
