Table d' Hôte Configuration

Table d'hôte or course menu's provides an option to create menu's from which guests can choose from a number of courses. This page describes how the system and the menu's need to be configured.

The following steps are all performed in POS+ manager:

  2. Go to File » Setup tables » Management »  Printer forms and open the printer form that you would like to change. Show me

    1. Right click in the Table d'Hôte block and add the "Table d'Hôte description" variable.

    2. Right click in the Article block and add the "Table d'Hote indication" variable. Try to keep the variable #m__ as short as possible.

  3. Go to File » Setup tables » Articles:

    1. Create all articles that are available as a table d'hôte menu item. These are normal articles that can be sold outside of the Table d'Hôte menu (article type = revenue).

    2. Create article's like "No Starter", "No Main", "No Dessert" (article type = revenue and a price of 0.00).

    3. Create one or more articles "Surcharge Menu" in case there are items on the menu that have a Surcharge amount (article type = revenue and a price of 0.00).

  4. Go to File » Setup tables » Course menu and create all course that are available in your menu's.

  5. Go to File » Setup tables » Articles and create an article for the Table d'Hôte Menu (article type = "table d'Hôte") and add the courses that are part of this menu on the "table d'Hôte" tab page. Show me

  6. Go to File » Setup tables » Screens:

    1. On one of the screens, create a button for the Table d'Hôte Menu article you created in step 5.

    2. Create a screen for each of the courses you configured in step 4 (Screen type = "ChoiceMenu") and select the course where the screen will be linked to. Then add a button for all the articles where the customer can select from (you can only add the articles that are linked to the selected course). If required, also add buttons for: Message, Custom Message, Choice menu previous course, Choice menu next course, Choice menu end. Show me

  7. Send the data to the terminals to test the table d'Hote Menu.

Expected Result

  1. In the terminal, select the Table d'Hôte Menu button you created in step 6a.

  2. For each course that is part of that menu, you will now see the course screens you created in step 6a.
