The options in this section will determine the behaviour of the POS system when this item is ordered.
Forced remarks are used to assign an item screen to force the selection of an included item, such as a choice of sides, choice of a salad dressing or the cooking temperature for a steak.
Click on the drop-down list to select the item screen to be used for each forced remark. To disable a forced remark, select Nul from the list. Up to 5 forced remarks can be assigned per item. Only one choice can be selected for each forced remark.
Leaving this option unchecked will make the choice mandatory. For instance, when ordering a steak, selecting a cooking temprature should be mandatory. Therefore, the Mod option would be left disabled. Enabling the Mod option will allow the user to exit the item screen without making a selection.
Popups are similar to forced remarks. The main difference is that Popups allows the user to select up to 10 modifiers from the list that will appear on the POS screen, while forced remarks only allow one. Also, instead of using existing item screens, Popups require purpose-built Popup Windows, which are created in Point of Sales Control > Sales > Popup Windows... Popups are commonly used for any item that can be customized by the customer, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, etc.
Click on the drop-down list to select the Popup Window to be used for each Popup. To disable a Popup, select Nul from the list. Up to 2 Popups can be assigned per item. Up to 10 choices can be selected for each Popup.
If this option is disabled, the Popup will automatically appear when the item is ordered and force the user to select at least one option from it. If this option is enabled, the popup will be called manually after ordering the item, and the user will be allowed to exit without making a selection.
This section is used to select where the item will print, on requisition printers or kitchen monitors. Before configuring this section, it is recommended to configure logical printers within redirection tables, in Point of sale control > Workstation > Redirection Tables...
From the drop-down list, select to which logical printer this item will print. Up to 7 distinct printouts can be selected.
Enable this option so that remarks can be printed on a different printer than their parent item. Disable this option so that remarks print on the same printer as their parent item.
This option will become available only if Enforce these printouts even if this is a remark is also enabled. Without enabling this option, items ordered as remarks will always print along with their parent items in addition to the printouts listed here. Enabling this option will force the remarks to print only on the printers selected here.
Remarks by quantity is used to offer different prices based on the ordered quantity of this item. To use this feature, Remarks by quantity price tables need to be created in Point of Sales Control > Sales > Remarks by quantity price tables...
One Remarks by quantity price table can be selected for each price level. First, enable the checkbox next to the price level to be used, then select the appropriate Remarks by quantity price table from the drop-down list.
