Restaurant POS Software

Amigo Pos  includes a comprehensive restaurant menu with the ability to create:

• Unlimited menu definitions  (for fast food where certain menus such as breakfast are time limited)
• Unlimited menu categories per menu definition
• Unlimited menu items per menu category
• Unlimited modifier groups
• Unlimited modifiers per modifier group
• Up to five price levels per modifier to add or subtract from the base price

Menu categories are displayed in the center of the order entry screen. Up to 9 menu category buttons can be displayed at once. If more than 9 active categories are defined, an arrow button is displayed at the bottom allowing the user to scroll to the next group of categories. The image below shows menu categories in double-height mode, in which case a maximum of 5 menu category buttons are displayed at one time. Each menu category button can contain custom text, a bitmap image and a custom color.

Menu item buttons are also highly customizable with user defined button color, image and text. Up to 24 buttons are shown per screen, with right and left arrows allowing the server to navigate forward and back. Up to 6 buttons are displayed simultaneously when large menu item buttons are used. The menu item button size is set for each menu category, so that some categories can use large buttons and others can use normal buttons.

Menu Item Modifier Groups Order Entry Screen

Menu item modifier buttons are used to enter prep instructions for the selected menu item. Some modifiers may be MANDATORY, requiring the server to select at least one modifier before continuing, other modifiers may be EXCLUSIVE, where the server can only select one modifier from the group, and other modifier groups may be both MANDATORY & EXCLUSIVE, where the server must select one, and only one, modifier item from the modifier group.

An example of a mandatory & exclusive modifier group is meat preparation, where the server must specify either Rare, Medium or Well Done. Another example is shown on the image above. In the image below, an alert is displayed reminding the server to select a required modifier before continuing the order.

Mandatory Modifier Group Alert

Menu item modifiers can also have up to 5 levels, eliminating the need for repetitive entry of modifier items. Each level may cause a price adjustment to the initial modifier price, eliminating guesswork and uncharge items. For example. a deluxe hamburger may be server with mushrooms. The customer may request light mushrooms, no mushrooms, mushrooms on the side, extra mushrooms. The first 3 modifier levels do not affect the price, but the EXTRA modifier price level may add a fixed amount to the ticket.

Multiple Menu Item Modifier Levels

Menu items are created and edited in back office.  A menu item's properties may be edited on the item revision screen, which presents all of the properties in a user-friendly graphical screen that also displays the button as it would appear on the order entry screen.

For maximum speed, menu items may also be modified directly on the menu items grid. In the iimage below, the menu items datagrid is shown in DETAIL VIEW mode, where the fields are listed verically. The datagrid can be set to LIST VIEW mode, where the fields are shown horizontally.

Similarly, menu item modifiers can also be edited directly on the datagrid, either in detail view or list view mode. Modifiers are grouped alphabetically by Modifier Group and are highly customizable to suit your business type.
