Condiment Setup
You can create
condiments within Total Control Premier to send down to the tills. If you open
up TCP and click into GPOS Specifics menu down the left hand side.
You will see two
options.
Condiment Groups and Condiments
Condiment
Groups are a collection of condiment options that can be selected during the
sale of a product.
Condiments
are the options available to the group.
In
both you are able to “Add / edit / delete” condiment records. These items can
be associated with a product during registration, and give instructions to a
chef in a kitchen on how to prepare the product.
Inside
the Condiment Group you have a choice of either a condiment or a PLU.
The
condiments have no price on them however the PLUs can have a price on them; an
example would be toppings for a burger. The cheese, pickle, mayo and bun may
all be condiments which can be swapped out with no price but bacon could be an
additional option for £0.50.
To
add items into a condiment group, use either the condiments or PLUs tab to make
your selection, and drag these across to the pale blue window on the right hand
side. Once a selection has been made, you can alter the ordering by clicking an
item and then using the up/down buttons to move
its position.
You
can also set a minimum and maximum selection on the condiment group, meaning
that people have to choose an option with the product or that they are only
allowed a few options instead. Both can work alongside each other.
In the
condiments list you simply have a code and a name against that code, this name
will be presented to the kitchen on the kitchen printer so they know what
options have been selected on the product.
Condiments are instructional messages that can be selected after
registering a PLU. There is no upper limit to the number of condiments a system
has.
Once you created a condiment this can
be added to the PLU by opening up Products within General Database and
selecting the PLU by clicking Edit. Once you are in the editing product screen,
if you drop down general options to POS options along with expanding Condiment
Groups for the questions you want to ask by changing from False to True.
To give a product a condiment price
then follow the above but select “Condiment price” as the tab rather than
“condiment groups”. Once the price is enabled then whenever the product is
selected in the condiment selection it will add it with a charge.
Options in the GPOS utility
System Option 335 - When
set, the registration of a plu as a condiment to another PLU will use that
PLU’s programmed condiment price. If not set, the condiment PLU is sold at
whatever the current plu price is.
System Option 149 – Kitchen Printing - When
set, GPoS will try and keep the
order of the kp output to match how it was rung in. This may differ slightly if
condiments are added to PLU’s at the end of the transaction, but generally will
stick to the order as rung in. If not set, the ticket will be ordered by the
PLU code.
System Option 156 – Print Condiment Selection on Receipt. Choose
to print condiment selections on the receipt (does not affect KP tickets).
System Option 157 – Condiments in Red for Printing. If set is
capable, print condiments in red on the target printer.
