Setting Up Dining Table Alerts
With the Alert feature you can alert the waiter after a certain time has passed since the dining table status received its current status. When an alert goes on, the dining table button gets a thick border in a striking color.
The alerts are updated automatically by running the job Serv. Flow Status/Alert Upd.
The hospitality service flow contains the settings for alerts for each status. The following table shows examples of how to set an alert for each status it makes sense to set an alert for:
