New Features
1. Zones
Zones is a concept that defines areas of your restaurant that your devices are located. They can be used similarly to how profit centers are used today to specify prep ticket routing, pricing, etc. However unlike profit centers, they do not affect the reporting of your sales.
- Backoffice --> POS --> System Setup -->Zones
- You can set up different "Zones" inside your establishment
- Example: Dining Room, Bar, Patio, Rooftop
- Zones can be used in: Price Levels, Context Filters, Kitchen Routing, Auto Charges, and Billboards
Here is what it looks like on a handheld

Here is an example of what Billboards look like on the terminal:
- They will rotate to the next one every 10 seconds
- Or you can use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons to find the one you're looking for. (if you use these buttons it will stay on the one you want and will not rotate, until you move off this screen and come back)
Here is an example of what Billboards look like on the handheld:
- They will not rotate thru them
- You can swipe from right to left to move thru them
