PREORDERFLOOR=1 

This sets the Default Floor/Area for the POS. 

 
PREORDERTILLS=j,k,l This 

sets which POS control each floor. If for example 

the Theatre has 3 Bars in different areas it is necessary 
for each POS to know which is the centralised POS for 

Tray Control 

 

PREORDERTRAYS=50 

This sets the maximum number of trays that can be 

used on each floor. If this limit is exceeded the operator 
will receive an alert message. This can then be 

overridden. 

 
PREORDERNAMEn= 

This sets the name for each floor i.e Balcony Bar, Circle 

Bar, Stalls bar. This will be printed on both the receipt 
and the Preparation Voucher 

 
PREORDERAUTO=1 This 

sets 

whether 

the Preparation Voucher is printed 

immediately the transaction is completed OR when 

selected to do so using the Extended Function. If set to 
“1” the Voucher will be printed immediately, “0” sets the 

function to “On Demand” 

 

PREORDERKP=j,k,l 

This sets which KP is used for which floor. It is 

recommended to set a different KP for each floor. This 
will ensure that when using the “On Demand” feature 

that the Vouchers can be printed in Order. 

 

PREORDERRCT1/2 

This sets the text that will be printed on the Receipt to 

show the Pre Ordered items. 

 

  

 

 

Once all the necessary macros have been set and put on the keyboard the operation 
could as follows :-  

 

Enter some drinks normally in Bar Mode, then select Pre Order Floor 1 (1F84), select 
some Pre Order drinks. The transaction can now be finalised OR more Pre Order 

drinks can be ordered. If a normal drink is required it is necessary to switch off the 
Pre Order (2F84), then order more drinks. During the transaction the floor/area 

could be changed to floor 2 by selection (1.2F84), the POS will alert the user of a 

floor/area change. When the receipt prints it will show at the bottom the Floor Name 
and Tray Number for the transaction. When Pre Ordered items are selected they will 

display on the transaction screen with the floor number to their left hand side. 
 

Then if the system is set to manual “preparation voucher” the operator would select 

Print Preparation Vouchers (3F84). The Vouchers would then print at the KP set in 
PREORDERKP.
