In order to send “Special Instructions” to the kitchen for a particular Order or if a “Special “
reason is required for a Refund, Void or VIP sale the new QWERTY Keyboard can be set to
POP- Up so text can be entered.

In order to realize this function the following has been changed.

1.

For use with Cooking Instructions a new flag has been added to the Product File
accessible in FM this field is called “Free Text”. It can be used in two different ways :-

a.

The feature can be used by creating a special PLU ( e.g called “Text”) and
setting the Free Text field to yes. If this Key is added to the keyboard and
labelled as “Special Instructions”, when this key is pressed the QWERTY
keyboard will appear and the text transmitted to the Kitchen. N.B The
PLU will need setting to the correct Analysis Field or “Mains”
Instructions could appear under “Starters” in the Kitchen.

Or

b.

The Free Text flag can be set to Yes on a number of specified Products.
This will mean when ever the product is sold the QWERTY Keyboard
will appear. Text can be added and this will print at the Kitchen

2.

For use with Reason Codes, please see Section 7
