Layout View, Hospitality Type

This field shows which layout option is used for the hospitality type in the Hospitality POS Startup.
The options are:

  • Dining Table Grid - the dining tables are represented as buttons in a row-column grid
  • Graphical Dining Tables - the dining tables are represented as buttons with coordinates, shape and size
  • Order List - a list of open POS Transactions (orders)
  • Delivery - a double list, one with open orders, the other with delivery drivers and orders assigned to them.
  • KOT List - a list of KOTs (kitchen order tickets). The list shows the KOT No., Order ID, the status of the KOTs and when they are due. The order is sent to the kitchen and a KOT is created. The KOT list shows by default those KOTs that are not served. A command exists that shows in the list KOTs that are served but not paid. Clicking the hospitality type button on the top menu shows a list of the orders that are not paid, regardless of whether they have a KOT. The KOTs are:
    • marked as Served with an expeditor display station
    • manually marked as Served on this list
  • F&B Orders - a list of Food and Beverages orders. This view is available in the FAB Takeout #OFFLINE panel only.

Note: If the POS terminal has KOT Status after Print as Served (or display stations involved), the KOTs only appear in the KOT list if the order was not paid. If it was paid, it never appears in the list.

When you select a layout, the system automatically fills in the following fields with default values taking into account the Service Type selected and the Sales POS Opening Mode:

  • Layout Function Menu ID
  • Grid Data Table ID
  • Grid Direct Edit Menu ID
  • Grid Order Details Menu ID

For Delivery layout view, it fills in this field:

  • Delivery Grid Panel ID

For KOT List layout view, it fills in these fields:

  • Order List Data Table ID

  • Order List Direct Edit Menu ID

  • Order List Details Menu ID

This is setup information needed to Toggle Default View and Order List View.

You can edit the menus, data tables and panels that are selected as defaults in these fields. You can also design your own and select them in these fields.
