When Is It Used? ▲ ▼
Used to select Categories and assign them to KVSs and/or printers.
Examples ▲ ▼
Only items sold in the Selected Categories that have the Triggered option selected, will activate the order being sent to the Printer/KVS.
What does this mean?
For example, if a Venue has two kitchen printers. One in the main kitchen and one in the pizza preparation area. The main kitchen printer is configured to print when orders are submitted for items in the ENTREES, MAINS and DESSERTS Categories, then the Selected Categories will look as follows for the main kitchen printer.
Notes ...
The PIZZA Category is listed but not triggered. The main kitchen printer would only include the items for the preparation area printer if they were included in the same order.
The pizza preparation area printer is configured to print when orders are submitted for items in the PIZZA Categoriy, then the Selected Categories will look as follows for the main kitchen printer.
Notes ...
The ENTREES, MAINS and DESSERTS Categories are listed but not triggered. The pizza preparation area printer would only include the items for the main kitchen printer if they were included in the same order.
