Default Food Menu

This is an Etal script that can be found in the Etal folder for each system. This script will allow you to select a screen level and make it as the default menu that will open up once you select the food menu off the drinks page.

This is a useful script in cases such as Sam Smiths Cheshire Cheese as they have a Cellar bar on their site as well as a cellar bar menu. We will then want to use this script so that when the till is being used, it will automatically open up once the food button is pressed. This will save from having to go through a large amount of buttons until you find the screen you want. 

This script will have to be edited using NotePad++ and make sure to restart the till once the operation is over in order to activate it on the till.

How to:

1. Inside the Etal folder, open the DefaultFoodMenu 

2. Once the folder has been opened, you will then see file inside. The one you are going to edit is the moc file

3. Now that you have that file open and ready to edit, you will now want to look at the list of Licences that have already been added in there accordingly to the site and the tills they have there. In this example you are able to see that there are more multiple tills and each one has been listed at the top of the script as seen in the image below.

Having the licenses listed at the top of the script will allow the code to link back to them further down this process and each license will be seen as a till. 

4.Now in order to target a till and set it a default food menu level screen, we will have to link it to the status key that will be clicked and the screen menu level that you want it to default it to.

Next to  the "Case" code, you will want to insert the till that you are targeting ( by typing in the licence number). under that line, you will then need to insert the status key number that you will be pressing to send you to menu level you want. the next number you will have to type in the screen menu level you want to default to that status key.    

Make sure to restart the till once the Etal script has been added and you should now get sent to the new default screen whenever you press on the food menu button or whatever status key you have designated.
