Option #4 – Quick Service module order and recall
When items are added to a sale at a salespoint that is not using Dining Headers and either the Order or Order and Print button is clicked, the operator is prompted to enter a description for the save if no description was previously entered. The operator can enter up to twenty-five characters onto the Save Description dialog. If the sale is recalled and either the Order or Order and Print button is clicked, the operator does not get prompted again because the Description field is already populated.
To incorporate this addition to Sales, the First Name field in the Saved Sale Criteria section of the Save Sale dialog was adjusted to allow up to twenty-five characters to be entered.
With the following settings in your Sales32C.INI file:
[Interface]
MainButton4=ORD
MainButton3=ARC
[Preferences]
AutoRecall="SELECT first_name, orig_dt, BalanceDue FROM sh_save WHERE date_time > GETDATE() - 1 AND recall1 LIKE '<group>%' AND recall2 LIKE '<subgroup>%' AND operator = '<operator>' AND finalized = 0 ORDER BY SIGN(balancedue) DESC"
AutoRecallButtons=FALSE
the Order main action button brings up a description box (add an item to the sale, and then press it) and you can then recall the order by pressing the Auto Recall main action button. You are presented with the Recall Sale dialog, listing all open orders.
If you set AutoRecallButtons to TRUE (the default), the Recall Sale dialog presents the orders as individual buttons rather than in a list format.
Furthermore, you can cause the active and inactive orders on the Recall Sale dialog to be colored different colors (this doesn’t apply if you are using a list). To do so, add the following settings to your .INI file (these settings are described in greater detail below).
[Interface]
Newbuttons=TRUE
ActiveTableColor=110,182,253
InactiveTableColor=255,255,255
[Preferences]
TableRecallSortActive=TRUE
TableRecallOrderBy=first_name ASC,last_name,orig_dt
