Item editing


 

When you want to manipulate items on a check, all you have to do is press the check for half a second, and you will enter item editing mode. This mode enables you to void items, order previously held items or split the check and move items. Just select the items you want to edit or press "Select all", and press the corresponding button. If configured, a void will request a void reason. Moving items is as easy as selecting a new check by swiping to the right. Also, you can repeat an order by selecting items and pressing the order button.

Recipes

(NEW)


 

If you want to see what ingredients an item contains, what wine pairing is advised or simply what the item looks like, you can view recipes right from TIM. To view a recipe in TIM you can hold a menu item that has a recipe attached to it. Tim will show you which items have recipes attached by showing three red stars ()

Recipes will also show allergens now! Once defined in the TIM Recipe Editor recipes will show tags with allergen information.

Functions screen


 

The functions screen is where you find other options you might require during operation.

  1. The Hostess tab gives you functions to Dirty and Clear a table. This can be used in conjunction with Aloha Guestmanager, QSR’s Hostess product and other tablemanagement systems that leverage the Aloha ProHost interface.

  2. Under Preferences you will find the ability to select a preferred checkprinter, the ability to sort your Tables and Tabs differently, what Aloha POS menu you want to use and if you would like to show a "hold item" status (Tables will flash if there are items on hold).
  3. If you are using TIM in a hotel environment and Aloha is interfaced to the PMS, you will see the option PMS inquiry which allows the user to perform a room inquiry.

  4. The Logout button logs you out of TIM and returns you to the employee login screen.

Quick Access (Order, Pay, Transfer, Print Check and E-mail Check

) (NEW

)


 

Why stick to Aloha logic when we can skip actions to save time and focus on our guests. Long pressing a table or tab will give the user the possibility to access the table or tab order screen, payment screen, transfer a table/tab or print/e-mail a check.

Allergens + Allergen Filter

(NEW)


 

Based on the fact that the Dutch government changed the law regarding allergen information in restaurants we have implemented an allergen filter in TIM. Once allergens are linked to items with the TIM Recipe Editor the user is able to make a selection of allergens in the filter based on allergies mentioned by the guests. Items with defined allergens (in the TIM Recipe Editor) will light up once selected in the allergen filter. These items can still be ordered, but TIM will let you know to be cautious, based on the users input regarding allergens. Are you moving on to the next guest who does not have any allergies? Simply tap the "Clear all" button and all references regarding allergens will be back to normal.

To access the Allergen Filter swipe the bottom arrow to the top of the menu. 

 

TIM will make it easy helping the guest select an item on the menu without any of the in the filter selected allergens. Also imagine the time (is Money) you will save not having discussions with your chef! (smile)

 

Note: When a recipe is available for a certain item, the user is able to view the linked allergens in detail with a long press on the item.

Bluetooth Printing

(NEW)


 

Just another Time saver! Next to being able to show the check at the table (TIM reversed check view) or sending the guest an e-mail with the check (TIM mail) we have implemented the TIM Bluetooth functionality for Bixolon Bluetooth printers.

After pairing (HOW TO PAIR ON iOS) the Bluetooth device navigate to the functions menu > preferences to select a default check printer. After TIM detects the Bluetooth device the user is able to select the printer. You will now be able to print guest checks from your (Batman) utility belt!

 

Note: To check the status of the printer or print a test print please navigate to functions menu > Bluetooth printer status
