Serving Periods

A serving period is a time period during the business day in one revenue center.

When configuring serving period start and end times (in 24-hour HH:MM format), the serving period’s start and end times must not overlap.

The following examples illustrate some serving periods start and end times:
  • Breakfast (5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.)

  • Lunch (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

  • Dinner (5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.)

You can run sales reports for serving periods, include the active serving period in interface posting messages, and use serving periods to determine the default transaction screen.
