Order Type
To show only open checks that belong to specific order types (for example, Dine-in or Take Out), click the Select Order Type link, select one or more order types, and then click Add.
Order Channel
To show only open checks that belong to specific order channels (for example, Kiosks), click the Select Order Channel link, select one or more order channels, and then click Add.
Order types and order channel filters can be combined. For example, if Take Out is selected as the order type and Phone-In is selected as the order channel, only Take Out Phone-In checks appear in the screen lookup.
Workstation
To filter checks shown in the open check SLU to those last service totaled by specific workstations:-
List those workstation object numbers in the Workstation field.
-
Enter the workstation object number, which is found in the Workstations module under the # column. When more than one workstation object number is entered, separate them by commas. If multiple workstation object numbers are configured in sequential order, add them using a range entry, for example 10–17.
Sort Order
Select the primary sort criteria for the SLU. Selecting a Sort Order option simplifies SLU sorting configuration in the EMC.-
Check Open Time: Select this option to show open checks in the order in which they are created (opened) in the check SLU. The earliest time is shown first. This option is the default sort order.
-
Table Name: Select this option to sort open checks started with a table name or number in alphanumeric order in the check SLU. Checks without table names or numbers appear first before table name/number checks.
-
Service Total Time: Select this option to sort open checks in the order in which they are service totaled. The earliest service total time is shown first. This is useful for drive thru operations where checks are ordered in the same sequence as cars entering the drive thru. Workstation operators are able to pick up checks quickly and service guests efficiently with their drive thru orders.
Sort Order Overrides:
When options 65 - Sort Check SLU by Table Name (in the RVC Parameters module) or 23 - Sort Check SLU by Table Name (in the Employee Classes module or the Employee Maintenance module (Operator Records tab)) are enabled, these options override the check SLU Sort Order set here in the Page Design module. When options 65 or 23 are enabled, the Page Design setting is the secondary sort order when no table name/number is used.
Sort Order Exceptions:
-
When Table Name sort order is enabled, checks using a Check Name (ID), where the name or ID is a customer reference, are shown first in the Check SLU in alphabetical order so they can be easily identified.
-
Autofire (future) checks are listed at the end of the check SLU, irrespective of the sort order setting, and follow regular checks chronologically sorted by scheduled fire date/time.
Next Page/Panel
Select the Page, or click the black arrow adjacent to the Panel field, and then select the desired panel from the list.
When you designate Next Page/Panel for the Open Check Screen Lookup, the POS client goes to the designated page or panel after the Open Check SLU closes (either manually or automatically).
