Hospitality types can represent the physical areas within a restaurant.
An example is a restaurant consisting of the dining area downstairs, the bar upstairs and the dining area upstairs. Each area is then set up as a specific hospitality type within the restaurant.
Hospitality types can also represent different types of orders, such as delivery orders, takeout orders, and pre-orders (orders made in advance).
A hospitality type can also represent a business like a cafeteria.
Hospitality types offer you a way of designing and controlling the functionality and look of the Restaurants POS. They control how pricing is calculated and to which department the stocks are posted. They also control the way item orders are printed on the restaurant printer stations and displayed on kitchen displays.
