A breakdown of each setting in Order Options under Advanced Location Settings.

Advanced Location Settings is home to numerous important and vital settings. It is absolutely necessary for you to become familiar with these settings and how they effect the functionality of the Lavu POS App.

In Order Options, the following settings can be defined: 

  • Frontend appearance
  • Send / Resend / Editing options.
  • Display Force Modifier prices
  • Price Override
  • Server Summary options / Server Restrictions
  • Restrict access to orders open on other device (SECURITY)
  • Compatible Scales

SERVER SUMMARY OPTIONS / SERVER RESTRICTIONS

It is highly recommended that locations ensure there are no Open Orders at the end of each day. To prevent server’s from leaving Open Orders, the following Server Summary options can be enabled. 

Enable or Disable Prevent servers from clocking out when they have open orders.

Enable or Disable Prevent servers from printing Server Summary when they have open orders.

RESTRICT ACCESS TO ORDERS OPEN ON OTHER DEVICES (SECURITY)

Select the appropriate Access Level from Access Level required to open an order that is already open on another device drop-down menu. It is recommended that this ability be restricted to those users with Level 3; this setting is important for security reasons.
