Drive-Thru Service Point Details

The following service point details can now be optionally displayed in the kitchen cell header for an order:

  • The service point where the order was created.

  • The service point where the order is expected to be fulfilled.

  • A notification indicating whether or not the guest has arrived at the fulfillment service point.

Providing these details enables the kitchen staff to deliver the guest's order to the correct service point at the fulfillment time.

Order API

The Order API is extended to allow for the submission of the following service point details with an order:

  • Creation Point - The service point where the order was created.

  • Assigned Fulfillment Point - The service point to which the order is assigned for fulfillment.

  • Current Fulfillment Point - The fulfillment point where the guest or vehicle associated with the order is detected (if applicable).

Kitchen Configuration

The following option is located in the Cell Header section of the Cells page of the Kitchen Screen Settings editor.

  • Enable Assigned Fulfillment Point Header - Toggle Yes to display the fulfillment service point for the order in the kitchen cell header.

The following items are now available for selection from the Layout section of the Header & Footer Templates editor.

  • Assigned Fulfillment Point - Add this item to the header to display the service point to which the order is assigned for fulfillment.

  • Order Creation Point - Add this item to the header to display the service point where the order was created.

When an order has an assigned fulfillment point:

  • The Fulfillment Point Header is displayed, including the animated vehicle icon and the location pin icon.

  • If the order’s current fulfillment point does NOT match the assigned fulfillment point, then the animated vehicle icon is displayed in the Fulfillment Point Header.

  • The Fulfillment Point Header is removed if the order is Voided or Deleted.

  • The Fulfillment Point Header is displayed below the Super Header (if applicable).

  • If the order is NOT paid, the Unpaid indicator is displayed in the Fulfillment Point Header.

Kitchen Configuration

The following fields are located on the Print Item Label section of the Printing page of the Kitchen Screen Settings editor in Data Management.

Application Language Translation

System and user-defined string translations are now applied to print output. As a result, the text on printed items (e.g. bump chits, labels) appears in the site's preferred language.

If any values are not defined for the site's preferred language, then the company's preferred language is used.
