We are excited to announce a new feature on our SalesVu POS app for iPad: Dynamic Numeric Order Names. This feature enhances the order management process by automatically assigning a numeric value to each order, which increases sequentially and resets at the end of each day. This new setting is particularly useful in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) environments where orders are identified by unique numeric codes.
Key Benefits of Dynamic Numeric Order Names
- Automatic Increment: Each order is automatically assigned a unique numeric identifier that increases after each order.
- Daily Reset: The order numbers reset to 1 (or a predefined starting number) at the end of each day, ensuring a fresh start.
- Enhanced Identification: This numeric order name is printed on both the customer receipt and the kitchen printout, facilitating easy identification and order management.
- Customization: Different starting numbers can be configured for each POS terminal, ensuring that order numbers remain unique across multiple terminals.
