The image below shows a bar menu category where the bar menu item buttons are set to triple size, where 6 buttons per screen are shown. The button text is omitted from some buttons, but the item name will still print on customer receipts and prep tickets.

Large bar menu item buttons with images

The drink recipe screen shows drink recipes in alphabetical order. Each recipe can be sent to the local receipt printer.

Drink Recipes

Bar menu item modifiers are defined on a per-category basis. Each modifier item can be further modified by a shared modifier on the right, eliminating the need for redundant entries.

Bar Menu Item Modifiers

Bar menu items, categories and modifiers are defined in back office under the menu deisgn button group. Since most drinks, including almost every beer sold on the planet, are already included in the evaluation version database, chances are that you will only have to change prices, categories and disable items to tailor the menu to your bar menu.

Bar Menu Categories Datagrid

Bar menu items can be edited directly on the datagrid in list view or detail view mode. All aspects of the bar menu item button appearance as well as remote text to print and other fields can be modified on the datagrid.

Bar Menu Items Datagrid

Alternately, the bar menu item can be viewed on the details screen for visual editing. In addition, this screen is used to enter individual bar menu item price specials.

Revise a Bar Menu Item Definition

To define a preset special for an individual drink, select the Pricing tab and click the Add New button. A special can be a fixed discount or percentage off the original price. Select the day of week, enter the start and end times, and click Save to finish. Multiple special price definitions can be entered for each drink.

Add a new bar menu item price special

Bar Menu Specials can also be defined for an entire bar category on the main bar menu editor by clicking on the Specials tab, as shown below. All bar menu specials, both individual menu items and category specials, are shown on the datagrid.

Edit a bar menu category price special

Many options are available to further customize the bar menu module. For example, in a multi-terminal environment, a terminal may be designated as a BAR TERMINAL so that prep tickets are not printed for bar menu items entered at that terminal. In addition, any or all of the top buttons may be hidden if not required, and bar menu item buttons may be displayed alphabetically instead of by button position.

Order Entry Screen Bar Module Settings

Bar tab settings include the ability to disable bar tabs entirely, to disable preauthorized bar tabs, to enforce a default preset bar tab limit, which may be changed on a per-customer basis if required. Inaddition, bar tabs can be ordered alphabetically by customer name instead of by time entered, and servers may be forced to select the patron's seat when starting a new bar tab.
