Members can be assigned to dining reservations in the Reservation Desk panel and when creating walk-in entries in the Dining Allocation panel.
Reservation Desk Panel
The Reservation Desk panel allows members to be assigned to dining reservations. It contains two controls related to members:
- #DR-MEMBERSEARCH member search POS input control. This control enables searching for members by either member cards or member contacts, depending on the configuration. The search behavior is determined by the data table selected in the Assist Lookup ID field (either #MCARD for member cards or #MCONTACT for member contacts).
- #DR-MEMBER member browser control. This control displays member details and is updated based on the selected or scanned member.
Member Scanning
- To enable member card scanning in the Reservation Desk panel, ensure that Scanner Enabled and MSR Enabled are activated for the panel.
- When a valid member card is scanned, the system automatically updates the member browser control with the corresponding member information.
Member Search
- Enter the desired search criteria in the input field to locate a member.
- Select the appropriate member to assign to the reservation. If the selected member contact has a valid member card, the system updates the member browser control accordingly.
Dining Allocation Panel
From the Dining Allocation panel you can create a walk-in entry and edit a reservation. The panel that handles this, is the dining reservation zoom panel (#TR-RES-ZOOMPANEL). This panel dynamically loads one of two POS data tables based on the context:
- #TR-RES-ZOOMDATATBL (used for creating new reservation)
- #TR-RES-ZOOMNODATE (used for editing existing reservations)
Member Scanning
- To enable member card scanning in dining reservation zoom panel, activate Scanner Enabled and MSR Enabled for the panel.
- Scanning a valid member card updates the panel with the corresponding member information.
Entering Member Card Numbers
-
To allow manual entry of member card numbers when creating a new walk-in reservation:
- Add the Member Card No. field to both POS data tables used by the panel.
- Add a button to the panel configured with the DINRESZOOM_UPDATE command.
- After entering the member card number, press the button with the DINRESZOOM_UPDATE command. The system updates the panel with the member's information.
