Are you looking for an easy solution to manage take away orders?
Menu allows a complete management of the service: from reservations to order taking, from the communication with the kitchen or bar to billing. Menu satisfies all needs to streamline back office operations, controls staff access to the application through permissions and monitors operations. Menu offers all the necessary features to coordinate the activities of interconnected businesses, such as: franchising networks and chains. The versatile architecture allows each venue to work independently without the need for a constant connection to the HQ, allocating the exchange of data to specific moments defined by the manager.
Menu allows the management of multiple halls that can be configured independently and customized using a map or background image. Specific menus and price lists can be associated to each one. The interactive map provides, in an intuitive and visual way, information on the table status: free, occupied, booked, order to send or already sent, close to the bill or bill issued. In addition, the program allows to record reservations by specifying: customer, time, hall, shift, table, covers and, if necessary, to insert a quote.
The simplicity in order taking allows to satisfy all needs. Articles can be organized in an unlimited number of categories and sub-categories and images or colors can be associated to facilitate their identification during order taking. Dishes can be sold at a fixed price, according to quantity, weight or any other unit of measurement by automatically calculating the price in relation to the amount sold. The order can be sent to production centers immediately and entirely or the waiter can specify the progress of the various courses. The print layout can be customized inserting for example: waiter’s name, table number, time, notes and any dish prepared by other centers for the same order.
Menu allows to issue the bill quickly and accurately, minimizing the error margin. It is possible to manage single accounts and separate bills automatically or manually. From the same order you can obtain multiple bills, issue several documents, even of different type, apply discounts or surcharges and use various payment methods. Dishes can also be associated to individual customers upon order taking: in this way, during billing it will be possible to recall the list of what was ordered by each guest and immediately calculate the amount due. Fast billing options for bar management are also available: it is possible to configure a single command that sends the order, issues the document, closes the bill and opens a new account.
With Menu, orders and bills can be managed both using a fixed workstation or handheld and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. All operations on orders or bills that can be performed in the system using a fixed workstation can also be carried out with a mobile device. The software is able to guarantee maximum performance on devices equipped with Android and Apple operating systems.
The innovative customer monitor, generally used for take away businesses or in restaurants where table service is not available, allows clients to view the progress of their orders.
Kitchen monitor is an interface for touchscreen monitors that allows the kitchen and dining hall to communicate and be constantly connected with one another. All orders are displayed on the monitor in the same screen to facilitate scrolling and consultation with simple gestures. Using the kitchen monitor, the kitchen can inform staff when dishes are ready, send messages to individual waiters or other production centers and call the waiter.
Menu provides all necessary tools to best manage the relationship with the customer and centralize information in order to share it with each operator and venue. The guest profile allows to record preferences, price lists and discounts that will automatically be applied during billing. Automatic text messages and emails can be configured to inform customers of new promotions, send birthday wishes and create customer groups for marketing related content. Menu allows to configure an unlimited number of promotions of different types: debit cards, credit cards, points accumulation, prepaid cards and discount vouchers.
At the end of the day it is possible to run the night audit and automatically print a report that displays all bills issued during the day by type of document and payment method for each hall. Through the accounting screen, it is possible to quickly manage all operations related to issued bills such as: invoicing, collection of outstanding payments, the creation of summary invoices and billing of meal vouchers. Menu is also equipped with a functionality that allows to save night audit files in a format suitable for subsequent export.
Prior identification is required to access Menu, this allows the software to automatically associate the waiter with the order or bill. Configuring users’ privileges is extremely simple as well as deciding what each employee can do. All operations performed are recorded along with the relative date, time and name of the person who executed them. In this way, responsibilities can be identified, margins on the tables served can be calculated and data can be collected for statistical purposes. Menu allows the creation of analyses and statistics on any information present in the program and a specific print layout can be associated to each report. Every statistic can be saved and launched on updated data, planned and sent by e-mail.

property management software for accommodation facilities. Customer records and items can be shared between the two programs, purchases made at the bar or restaurant are charged directly to the room bill using an intuitive interface in which only the occupied rooms are displayed along with the relative guests.
