Preferential Screen Setup

Preferential Screens are created to display a logical grouping of sales items. For example, a preferential screen can be created to display the selection of soft drinks available or a list of desserts. Preferential screens can also be modified on the fly.

Typically, a restaurant will have several preferential screens, which will be displayed depending on the time of day or the employee role. Bartenders will have access to different preferential screens than dining room servers. This gives restaurants a great amount of flexibility when customizing their POS workstation screens.
