Understanding Custom Buttons for Restaurants

Custom button settings are accessed through Register Preferences.

This is what custom button settings look like:

There are five areas of the register where custom buttons can be added. Each register area corresponds to a tab within custom buttons settings: Top Buttons, Buttons, Details, Controls, and Sub Menu.

Custom Buttons can be set up to do the following: Functions, Items, Services, Discounts/Other.

Buttons found on the Top Buttons tab… 

…correspond to default order types found on the Register tab..

• Order types such as Dine In, Take out, Pickup, and Delivery are generally displayed by restaurants, pizzerias, and quick service restaurants.
• Order types displayed can be customized through the use of custom buttons. For example, a quick service restaurant can apply these custom order types:  Window 1, Window 2, Dine In, and Delivery.
• Retailers can choose to remove/clear these buttons through the use of custom buttons.

Buttons found on the Buttons tab…

…correspond to the red and grey default buttons found on the Register tab.

• Default functions on the red and grey rows vary by business type. For example, restaurants display a “Tab Auth” button by default.
• Any functions on these buttons can be moved to a different tab or removed.
• Restaurants, pizzerias, and quick-service restaurants have two lines enabled by default. A third line can be enabled.

Buttons found on the Details tab…

…correspond to the default functions found on the Register’s Order Details tab.

• Any of these functions can be moved to a different tab or removed.

Buttons found on the Controls tab…

…correspond to the default control functions found at the register.

• Control functions appear at the register regardless of the tab selected.
• Any of these functions can be moved to a different tab or removed.

…correspond to the default functions found within the register’s sub menu

• These functions can be seen at the register by selecting the sub-menuon the lower right-hand corner.
• Any of these functions can be moved to a different tab or removed.

All functions that can be moved, added or removed from the register are found on the Functions list. Functions may vary by business type.
