The taste of consumers is becoming more and more capricious. Individual preferences do not always coincide with the recipes of the chef. You love pizza with porcini mushrooms, but there are no pepperoni in the one on the menu, and for you without them, the pleasure is not complete. It is no coincidence that fast food restaurants that offer a combination of several items, restaurants with a lunch menu at a common price, or pizzerias that add and subtract elements from the recipe, meet the need for functionality to facilitate their operations with package prices, while also allowing for correct inventory management.
The process is much easier for users who have chosen to manage their commercial activity with Detelina software, because they can add to their software package the module for selling combined menus.
The combined menu is a complex item of the “Recipe” type, which can contain a large number of simple items from the nomenclature. For this purpose, these items are arranged in predefined categories, designed for more convenient visualization and faster navigation when working with the menu. Each of the items included in the menu has a large set of settings that make it possible to define many options when marking it, such as adding an absolute value, adding a bonus, without changing the total price, and much more.
The first step is the creation of categories. Each item belongs to a predefined category, which also serves as the main filter in the preview of the menu at sale. For example, items such as chicken burger, double cheeseburger, vegan burger can be impoverished in the “Burgers” category.
In the menu, you can set various options for the items, enter the minimum and maximum amount of an item from the category. You have the choice to specify optional items in your combination and charge additional amounts for the add-on.
Example: Combo menu with vegan burger with french fries and soft drink. This combination has three choices. The customer can specify what side dish they want for their burger, whether fries or onion rings, as well as the desired soft drink from several options. The cost of the combination is the same, regardless of the choice made by the customer.
The most commonly ordered combinations can be pre-marked and displayed as separate buttons on the screen for the convenience of the seller. You can also visualize items that are offered at preferential prices to the combined menus.
Pizza of choice with a dynamic recipe – why not! If you are the owner of a pizzeria, you can offer the customer to “craft” their pizza according to their taste. The fast food establishment can do the same, giving its customers the opportunity to combine the ingredients of their burgers as desired. In both cases, checkout employees will mark orders much easier and faster if they have preset combinations with options for choosing ingredients.
Cakes with different frostings and layers are another option. A pastry shop could develop a menu of standard cakes at the same price with the option to change some ingredients.
Hot spots in supermarkets can also take advantage of this module to simplify and optimize the entry of prices when selling different combinations of items.
The module is suitable not only for food retailers. A clothing store that offers dynamic promo offers such as take 1 and get 1 at half price and 1 free can also define its promotional categories and simplify the process.
The functionality can be used even in dry cleaning for the implementation of various service options.
In conclusion – if you have implemented commercial software “Detelina” and want to optimize your sales with predefined combinations in the menu, make an inquiry through the contact form on the website or contact our retailer.
In case you are still considering choosing a new software for your business, you can get acquainted in detail with the advantages of the commercial software “Clover”, to the functionalities of which you can add a module “Combined menus”.
