Simple Setup of Service Times and Tracking for Reporting
I set this up while on a future V5 release however I verified the process is exactly the same on 4.1.82 due to the clarity the dark theme has in the screenshots I kept this tutorial on V5.
This is a simple method to track service times for example: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner automatically for reporting reasons or promotions.
Create an Update Ticket Tag action:
Update Ticket Tag action
Tag Name: [:Tag Name]
Tag Value: [:Tag Value]
Create Your Rules to handle the Action:
I used three rules for Breakfast,Lunch, and Dinner the rules are all setup the same the difference is the {Time} constraint to designate what time you want this tag. Also you would set appropriate Tag Value for the service aka Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner
Ticket Created rule
Tag Name: Service
Tag Value: Your Service EXAMPLE: Breakfast
Rule Constraint:
{TIME} After <hh:mm>
{TIME} Before <hh:mm>
Set this constraint for the hours you want this service for example I set Breakfast to run between 08:00 am and 11:00am
Here is how Lunch and Dinner would look:
Here is an example of a report that uses this:
This report shows what % of sales happened during each specific Service.
