Micros Touchscreen Designer 1

[MZ117]

System: Micros 3700
Version: 4.9.4.3103

I'm hoping someone can answer this question, and I'm going to try to explain as simple as possible! Trying to update the Food Screen (main screen where you have options like Beverages/Entrees/Appetizers/Liquor/etc.) and I want to have the receipt show on the same screen. <u>I know I can do that by going to "Touchscreens" and changing "Template" from TableObject to Detail2...</u>

My question/issue is this... All of the templates take up too much space and I want to have buttons under where the receipt would be (like a next seat/clear last/etc)... Is there a way I can insert a button under TouchScreen Designer using the TableObject template and specify a specific size for the receipt using categories/functions as opposed to a specific layout?

There must be some way to do this because a Google Image search shows SEVERAL designs where the receipt is only in say the top-left corner of the screen and the bottom 75% of the screen has server buttons, so there has to be a way to resize the actual size of the receipt somewhere....​

Any help would be much appreciated!

THANKS!

And also, do you know if the pizzas will appear any different on KDS or will it keep the same KDS and Receipt prints? THANKS!

Hmmm. I don't know about the printing and KDS, but it looks like its all configured in the Ordering Module tab which I've never even looked at before.

It looks like its considered really tedious because for every topping you have to do this:

I don't have any documentation specific to the Ordering Module but I will see if I can find something on monday.

Ok, thanks! I will try and play with it a little tomorrow but I think I'll be waiting on your doc files!! Have a good weekend!

I was thinking for that SIM I would make it so that if they press their employee report button and they haven't declared tips, it would tell them so and then bring up the declared tips interface. They would then have to press the button again after declaring tips, rather than it leading them into it. I only suggest this because it will be easier and I'm far more likely to actually have time to get that done soon.

Also, couldn't find any docs specific to Ordering Module; I managed to get it working by following the steps for each individual section of OM through the help button though.

 

[MZ117]

That would be fine. Can you make it so it cannot be zero and it has to be at least "x" percent (that could be changed by editing a config file)?

Do you know how to "activate" the pizza ordering module and start a touchscreen?

 

[MZ117]

I went through the help and didn't see "Order Module" or "Pizza"... Is it a different help file?

So I was hunting through the database looking for a cash sales column... and then remembered cash isn't a built in tender (facepalm)
You'll need to know the tracking group. I have to be at the airport tomorrow, but I'm hoping I can post something for you tomorrow. I have the code done, I was just derping and looking for something that doesn't exist. You'll have a few things to set, like a hard minimum, and the tracking group number, and the auto sequence number for the employee report.

 

[MZ117]

If your looking under "Configurator --> Reporting --> Tracking Groups" then...

[ul]
[li] Cash - Tracking Total Number "Tender / Media" is set as "101 Cash"[/li]
[/ul]

If your looking under "Configurator --> Reporting --> Autosequences" then...

[ul]
[li] Employee Balance Report - 10002[/li]
[/ul]

As far as a hard minimum for percentage of cash sales (that can be changed later?) let's go with...

[ul]
[li] 5 %[/li]
[/ul]

Is that what your looking for? Am I giving you the correct information?

Thanks!

 

[Moregelen]

Yes that's fine. I meant to post something tonight but I'm still working on staging a simphony lab x_x
I just finished porting all of my other labs onto my new spiffy esxi server but simphony is proving a bitch to install. Ill finish this up tomorrow morning. Right now the sim is all the way through, but all it does is check if cash tips aren't zero. I will add the extra if statements and then post it.

 

[MZ117]

Thanks again! You sound pretty busy! Have a safe flight if you haven't already!

 

[Moregelen]

Don't know if you got it, but I shot you an email with the ISL file.

 

[MZ117]

First, thank you so much for your help! You've been outstanding! The SIM was working, but yesterday and today, they were able to get by with $ 0 declared tips again. Any thoughts? Is there a buffer that is full maybe? Thanks again!
