Serving Line


Overview

The Serving Line establishes settings for Point of Sale lines for the entire District or an individual cafeteria. The appearance of student information, behaviors during sales, security requirements, alerts, charges, and devices are established through the settings. The ability to specify meal-specific serving line parameter overrides both at the serving line config and the individual serving line has been added.

Serving Line Configurations (District Level)




Locate and click on the Admin & Maintenance tab. Next, click on the Serving Line.


Serving Lines (Local Level)

Serving Lines allow a cafeteria to establish multiple serving lines and alter Point of Sale settings established at the District level. (e.g. The District utilizes fingerprint scanners at all locations except high schools. The input device setting can be modified for palm scanners.)

  1. From the Admin & Maintenance tab, select Item. Then, choose Serving Lines.
  2. Click the Add button to create a new Serving Line. You can also select an existing Serving Line and choose Edit to make changes.

    Multiple serving lines must be established at this level prior to launching Newton POS. Establishing serving lines first ensures the ability to select the appropriate serving line when setting up Newton POS.

  3. Establish settings for each serving line. Click Apply in each tab after establishing settings. After you have completed setup in all necessary tabs, click Ok.
