Introduction
Welcome to the Empress guide on creating a Restaurant Record. This important feature represents an individual restaurant or outlet within your organization. Creating a Restaurant Record is a fundamental step in managing your restaurant operations using Empress.
What is a Restaurant Record?
A Restaurant Record in Empress is a digital representation of a single outlet or restaurant within your business. It encompasses important details such as the restaurant’s name, the company it’s associated with, and default customer settings. It’s like the digital identity card for your restaurant!
Creating a New Restaurant Record
Let’s dive right into the process:
- Name your Restaurant: Start by providing the official name of your restaurant.
- Link it to the Company: Specify the company your restaurant belongs to. This is particularly useful for businesses with multiple outlets.
- Set the Default Customer: Define the default customer setting for your restaurant.
By following these steps, you have successfully created a new Restaurant Record!
Organizing Your Invoices
Here’s a neat feature: Empress allows you to set a unique Invoice Numbering Prefix for each restaurant. This means all invoices generated for that particular restaurant will follow this unique numbering system. This feature is a lifesaver for keeping your invoices organized and easy to track!
Setting Up Default Sales Taxes and Charges
Do you have a standard Sales Taxes and Charges Template? If so, you can apply it to your new restaurant. This means all invoices generated for the restaurant will automatically include these default tax and charge rates.
What’s Next? Adding Tables and Menus
Once your restaurant is set up, you can start adding specific Tables and Menus.
Adding Restaurant Tables: A Restaurant Table record represents a physical table within your restaurant. To create one, simply navigate to the Restaurant dashboard and click on ‘Create a new Restaurant Table’.
