Introduction The e7 has two basic components for you, the programmer: the Menu Item and the Employee. The Menu Item is really the backbone of a point-of-sale package. This programming manual will begin with an understanding of Menu Items: how they are created, how they are arranged, how they are displayed. The second section deals with Employees, albeit briefly. This manual assumes that you, the reader, have a general understanding of how the e7 package works (e.g. how to order food, pay for it, etc.) as well as some basic understanding of computers, the Microsoft Windows operating system in particular. This is NOT an introduction to the e7! See your sales representative for basic e7 training. There are many wonderful features in the e7 package, this manual will help you use them to your benefit. The goal of this manual is to assist in programming an e7, however, and is not a comprehensive/exhaustive programming guide. If more education is wanted, please contact your Micros vendor to purchase additional training. Final note: your database might be different than what you see presented in this manual. e7 allows for both unique, programmer-specific nuances as well as major differences in approach to match the needs of specific sites. Nonetheless, this manual should give you enough information and understanding for you to apply the ideas herein to your, specific e7 database. NOTICE: This is NOT an official Micros document. Micros is not responsible for the information and ideas contained herein. Use or misuse of this information is the sole responsibility of the reader. Further, any production or reproduction of this material is expressly prohibited. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 2 of 21

Glossary Glossary of Terms Commonly Used in this Document: Attachment A Category or Menu Item that is necessarily attached to a Menu Item. The Category Bread Choice might be Attached to the Menu Item Turkey Sandwich. Category A group of Menu Items. Typically Categories are either types of food: appetizers, salads, desserts, sides, entrées, bottle beers groups of condiments: entrée sides, salad dressings, margarita preparations (salt, no ice, ) groups of preparation instructions: meat temp. (rare, med. rare, medium ), egg prep. (over easy, scrambled, poached ), kitchen memo Condiment This is a multi-use word. It can designate sides, garnishment (fries or potato, lettuce, no cheese). It can also be used to denote specific instructions (sunny side up, split plate). In the e7 system, Condiments are entered in as Menu Items. The concept of a Condiment, however, is that they modify Menu Items. A Hamburger is a Menu Item. Cheese is also a Menu Item. The way the Cheese is used is what makes it a Condiment it is used to designate how the Hamburger is prepared. This difference is seen in the way each is printed on the customer s receipt (and any Remote Printout) as seen below. 1 Hamburger $3.75 Menu Item Cheese $0.50 Menu Item acting as Condiment No Lettuce Menu Item acting as Condiment Configurator The name given to the module used to program the e7. Containers Containers designate a sub-division of Menu Items inside a Category. These can be sizes (small, medium, large or 12, 14, 16, 18 or Draft, Bottle, ½ Pitcher, Pitcher) or some other designation (ex. Single, Combo) Job This is an Employee specific term. A job designates what a specific employee can and cannot do, as well as what screens appear for a given employee. Jobs can be seen impacting Employees in a way similar to, but certainly not identical to, Categories and Menu Items. Local Printer Usually a thermal printer (uses thermal paper) that prints the guest s receipt, credit card slips, reports, etc. It is local in that it is usually located near the Workstation. Menu Item The actual item of food, beverage, condiment, etc. Examples include: taco, 12 oz Root Beer, onion, no mayo, phone number, Kids Combo. Menu Items are anything that can be ordered and almost anything that can modify an order. Menu Items are always within a Category they never stand alone. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 3 of 21

Glossary Glossary of Terms, con t Modifier A Category or Menu Item that is allowed to be used to modify a Menu Item. Typically, this would be a Category of allowable preparation instructions. The bar usually needs different prep.s than the restaurant. Bar Menu Items might have a Category of Bar Preps as Modifiers, the Bar Preps containing Ice, Water Back, Lime Slice, etc. The restaurant s prep.s might contain a different list containing No Lettuce, Split Plate, Dressing on Side, etc. Navigation Area A collection of Categories, usually located at the bottom of the screen. The Navigation Area displays the Categories that are necessary (and designated) for ordering. Typically, Categories that contain preparation instructions are not designated to appear here. Menu Item Categories are more typical (ex. Burgers, Entrées, etc., not Meat Temp. ). Remote Printer This can be a thermal printer or an ink-based printer. Typically, this printer is located away ( remotely ) from the Workstation, giving the orders to the cooks, preparers, expediters, bartenders, etc. The use of Remote Printers allows for speed (the orders are not walked from one location to another plus the orders are printed clearly) and security (no called-out orders that leave room for theft as well as orders prepared wrong or have to be remade). Toolbar The collection of icons across the top of the Configurator screen. There are three drop-down lists in the Toolbar. The far left list provides access to the components involved in programming the e7. The middle list changes as needed to provide necessary functions (e.g. copy, delete, change order of appearance, etc.). The far right list provides miscellaneous functions: backup the database, change the workstation number, change the size of the on-screen keyboard, etc.). Each of these drop-down lists is accessed by pressing the down-triangle () located on the right side of each drop-down list. Workstation (or Workstation 4) The physical device that is used to enter orders. It is a freestanding device (it is usually on a stand, but can be laid flat or even wall-mounted). The majority of the device is the front touchscreen, which is bordered on the right by a magnetic card reader. This device also drives Local Printers, Remote Printers, cash drawers, scanners, scales, and other peripherals. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 4 of 21

All Menu Items reside in groups called a Categories. Categories are a way to organize Menu Items so that the entire menu is not displayed as one long list. A Server (or Bartender, etc.) uses the Categories to quickly navigate through the entire menu. Before programming a new e7, the menu will need to be sorted into Categories to prevent overlap as well as to allow the ordering process to be quick and intuitive. For example, a restaurant-bar called The Family Place might have the following Categories and Menu Items (among others): Sides: Rolls, Side Salad, Soup, side of Fries Beverages: Diet, Coffee, Decaf Entrees: Filet Mignon, Calzone, Meatloaf, Pizza Daily Specials: Tuesday Tacos Appetizers / Salads: Potato Skins, Wings, Little Caesar Salad, Cajun Chicken Salad There are basically three kinds of Categories/Menu Items: Menu Items (sometimes called Parent Menu Items Cheeseburger, Side Salad, Decaf Coffee, Gin & Tonic, Well Scotch Preparation Instructions Varied-Use Condiments Condiments Medium-Rare, no Tomatoes, Split Pepperoni topping for 12, 14, & plate, Dressing on Side, please! 16 pizzas, Salad-Fries-Potato with Burger Varied-Use Condiments are collections of Menu Items that exist elsewhere in the menu but also need to be used in various combinations Using the above example of The Family Place, there will be the Menu Item Categories Sides, Entrees, Beverages, etc. There might also be the Category Salad Dressings (Prep. Instruction) that would be used on the Chicken Salad as well as the Side Salad, or Toppings (Condiments) that could be used on the three sizes of Pizza and also the Calzone, plus a Category called Preps that is used for special instructions (e.g. No Ice, Chicago Cut, Split Plate). Categories are located in the programming area all the way to the left of the screen with a plus (+) or minus ( ) next to them (Menu Items never have + or ) and are colored Blue and Green. Blue Categories are either Menu Items or Preparation Instruction Condiments. Green Categories are always Varied-Use Condiments. Varied-Use Condiments are not covered in this manual; Preparation Instruction Categories will usually suffice. Ordering Overview: The basic flow of ordering is as follows: a Category is chosen which brings up a list of all the Menu Items that are a part of that Category. Once a given Menu Item is selected, it can then call more Categories. For example, a server might select Sandwiches (Category), than a Hamburger (Menu Item) which then calls Salad or Fries (Category Prep. Instruction kind). If the server selects Salad another Category is called, Salad Dressings. It would look like this to the server: Sandwiches Hamburger Salad Ranch. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 5 of 21

Getting In to Program the e7... 1) Sign-In as a Manager (or anyone that has access to the Manager Screen the screen that has a button on it labeled Configurator or Programming ) 2) Press the button that says Configurator or Programming 3) If the upper left of the screen does not already say, press the triangle located on the left toolbar at the top of the screen 4) Use the scroll triangles or the scroll-bar (long, vertical, grey rectangle) until Menu shows 5) Press/click on Menu To create a Category, Method #1 Copy 1) Select a Category (this is done by pressing or clicking on the Category) that is similar in look and function to the new Category to be made 2) Press the triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Add Copy of Category 3) Select the Main tab and change the name 4) Select the Appearance and Container tabs and verify that they are as desired (see next section for more details on what the options do) 5) Press the Save key located on the toolbar towards the left To create a Category, Method #2 Create 1) Select any Category (pressing or clicking on the Category). The selected words will change to white letters on a dark blue background to indicated its selection 2) Press the triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Add New Menu Item Category 3) Select the Main tab and change the name 4) Select the Appearance tab and change/verify the following checkboxes: Display in navigation area (see How Categories and Menu Items appear on a workstation on the previous page for the effects of this option) Items act as condiments selecting this box indicates that these items are only used to modify Menu Items from other Categories Alphabetize keys selecting this box displays all the Menu Items for this Category in alphabetical order e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 7 of 21

Rollup condiment prices selecting this box affects how all of the Menu Items in this category print on the Customer s receipt. The price printed for these Menu Items will be rolled up into the price of the Menu Item that they modify. For example, a Burger is $4.00 with a $0.50 up-charge for cheese. Further, the Category that contains Cheese has the Rollup box checked. If a customer orders a burger with cheese, the customer s receipt will print as follows: with Rollup selected with Rollup blank 1 Burger $4.50 1 Burger $4.00 Cheese Cheese $0.50 Print condiments in red selecting this box will cause all of the Menu Items in this Category to print in red, assuming that the Menu Items are condiments (or preparation instructions). Using the above scenario and assuming there is a Kitchen printer, the Kitchen printout would be as follows: with Print in red selected with Print in red blank 1 Burger 1 Burger Cheese Cheese -- or -- Cheese. (if the printer is Black/White) the other areas of this tab are used to alter the appearance of the Category key as well as the Menu Items in this Category. [The above is intentionally blank space] e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 8 of 21

5) Select the Containers tab. Containers can be used to creatively accomplish many things, but the basic function of the Containers is to provide a more compact method of displaying many menu items when they are items that come in different sizes: small-medium-large, 12-14 - 16, half-whole, 12oz-20oz-1/2 pitcher-whole pitcher -- of note, it IS possible to have only SOME Menu Items use the Containers while others do not. For example, only some of the Daily Specials might come in Full and Half sizes. Using Containers does NOT have to mean that all of the Menu Items will use the different sizes. Each Menu Item may (or may not) use the Container. In fact, each Menu Item does not have to use all of the Container sizes. Some can use none, one, two, or all. This is designated in the individual Menu Items 6) Either clear all the fields (if no Containers are used for these items) or enter the Container Name s (these will show on the workstation s screen) and Prefix s (these will show on the printout given to those preparing the food). For example, if using the sizes Small, Medium, and Large: Name: Small Prefix: SM Name: Medium Prefix: Med Name: Large Prefix: LG - the Name will appear above the Menu Items (this example, Small Medium & Large ) Each individual Menu Item can designate a unique price to each size/container. For example, a Small Hamburger can be $1.00, a Medium Hamburger $2.00, and a Large Hamburger $3.00. This pricing is done in the Prices tab of the individual Menu Item (see To Create a Menu Item ) 7) Press the Save key located on the toolbar towards the left e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 9 of 21

To add Menu Items, Primary Method Copy 1) Select the Category where the Menu Item belongs (pressing or clicking on the Category) 2) If no Menu Items are displaying, press/click the Category name again 3) Select the Menu Item that is most similar to the Menu Item that is to be added - similar means the new Menu Item will print to the same location as the Menu Item being copied, it uses the same condiments (for the most part), preparation instructions, sides, etc. In this case, similar does NOT mean the same price. 4) Press the triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Add Copy of Menu Item 5) Select the Main tab and change the name 6) Select the Prices tab and change the price(s) 7) Select the following tabs and verify the options: Member Of, Attachments, Modifiers 8) Press the Save key The other method to create Menu Items is to press Add New Menu Item and go through each field of tab only do this after gaining significant experience using the above method! e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 10 of 21

an interesting alternative... To add Menu Items, Third Method Copy from another Category 1) If a Category for the to-be-created Menu Item(s) doesn t exist already, create it first 2) Select the Category where a Menu Item to be copied belongs (pressing or clicking on the Category) 3) Select a Menu Item that is similar to the Menu Item you want to create 4) Press the triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Add Copy of Menu Item 5) Press the same triangle again (located in middle of top toolbar) and select Move to Different Category - select the Category where you want the item copied into 6) Rename, re-price, etc. as necessary To DELETE Menu Items or Categories 1) Select the Menu Item or Category (the item selected will become white letters on a dark blue background when selected) 2) Press the down triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Delete Menu Item or Delete Category 3) Confirm that the item you are deleting is the one highlighted and press Yes Be Very Careful! You cannot undo this action!! Changing Category Buttons Changing the Order of Buttons 1) Select any Category (the item selected will become white letters on a dark blue background when selected) 2) Press the down triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Edit Display Priority 3) Select a Category that you want moved. Use the red arrows to move the Category up and down relative to the other Categories Changing Menu Item Buttons 1) Select the Category first 2) Press the Appearance tab, make sure Alphabetize keys is NOT selected (no checkmark) 3) If necessary, press the Category again to make the Menu Items appear and select any one 4) Press the down triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Edit Display Priority 5) Select a Menu Item that you want moved. Use the red arrows to move the Menu Item up and down relative to the other Menu Items e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 11 of 21

Adding Pop-Up choices to a Menu Item (an overview) To have a Category pop-up put it in Attachments FIRST, the items in the Category zz Meat Temps will pop-up. Since both Min(imum) and Max(imum) are set to 1, only one selection is possible NEXT, items in zz Salad / Fries will pop-up Pop-up s tend to look like this NOTICE, it IS possible for one pop-up to call another. In this example, if Salad is selected from zz Salad/Fries, another Category pops-up called zz Salad Dressings e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 12 of 21

Creating Pop-Up Categories It is helpful to visually differentiate Pop-Up Categories from other Categories when programming. In this manual, this is done by using two letters from the end of the alphabet at the beginning of each Pop-Up Category s name ( yy Misc. Items, zz Meat Temps, etc.). This is done because Categories are displayed alphabetically when programming; putting these letters at the beginning of the Category name pushes the pop-up Categories to the end of the list of Categories. 1) Pop-up Categories are regular Categories that are used uniquely. As such, creating popup Categories follows the same procedures as regular Categories (see the two To Create a Category methods), making sure of the following... 2) Select the Appearance tab and verify that Display in navigation area is NOT checked, that Items act as condiments IS checked, and that Alphabetize keys is as desired 3) Select the Containers tab and set the fields to be the same as the Category of the items that will call this pop-up Category. This is done because the Menu Items in the pop-up Category will use the same Container as the Menu Item that called it, allowing the pop-up Menu Items to have different prices depending on the Container For example, the Category Pizza has two Containers designated Small (SM) and Large (LG). For this example, the Pizza Category has two items, Cheese and Pepperoni. The following table illustrates the (fake) prices: 1) Small Cheese $1.00 2) Large Cheese $3.00 3) Small Pepperoni $2.00 4) Large Pepperoni $4.00 Each of the four pizzas has zz Pizza Tops designated in the Attachments tab. The Category zz Pizza Tops has the following Menu Items: Extra Cheese, Olives, Onions, and Sausage. At this restaurant, toppings on Small pizzas are $0.50 and $1.00 for Large pizzas. Therefore, a Small pizza with Onions is $1.50 ($1 for the small cheese, $0.50 for the small onion topping) When a Small pizza is selected, the pop-up items will automatically be the same Container (in this case, Small), no getting around it! If no Containers are created in the pop-up Category, then one price for each topping (Menu Item) will be charged. If all toppings are $0.50 (for example), then a Large Pepperoni pizza with Extra Cheese is $4.50 (Large Pepperoni = $4.00, all toppings = $0.50), a Small pizza with Olives is $1.50. This would be accomplished by NOT using Containers with the pop-up zz Pizza Tops forcing all the toppings to be one price, no matter what size pizza called them. 4) Use the Min and Max fields in the Menu Item s Attachments tab to force a certain number of pop-up items to be selected. In the pizza example above, the Cheese and Pepperoni pizzas would have zz Pizza Tops in the Attachments tab with a Min of 0 (zero) and a Max of whatever is desired (most likely 4 in this case since there are only 4 toppings). Once the Maximum number of items is selected, the workstation will return to the Menu Item that called the pop-up and either call the next pop-up category on the list (see the overview above) or simply return to the menu. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 13 of 21

What I need to think through before I start adding Menu Items 1) What Category will this Menu Item be in? - does it need to be created or does it already exist? - will the Category have Containers? 2) The Menu Item s - Name - Reporting (Major Group, Family Group) - do these groups exist or do I need to create them? - Price - one price only? by Container? by Menu (e.g. Happy Hour, Breakfast, etc.)? 3) What kind of preparation instructions are necessary? - Automatic ( pop-up ) instructions: does this Category already exist yet or do I need to create a new Category with new pop-up preparation instructions (Menu Items) - Optional instructions: does it exist or need to be created? 4) Where is this item going to print? - what remote printer, if at all? regular or red (reverse)? From Start to Finish, an exercise This will create the following: a Hamburger that can be ordered as an Adult or Child size, and comes with fries or a salad w/ the choice of Ranch or Italian dressing CREATING THE CATEGORY 1) Select any Category (pressing or clicking on the Category) 2) Press the triangle located in the middle toolbar at the top of the screen and select Add New Menu Item Category 3) Select the Main tab and change the name to Sandwiches 4) Select the Appearance tab: Display in navigation area Items act as condiments Alphabetize keys 5) Select the Containers tab: - Container 1 Name = Child, Prefix = CHILD - Container 2 Name = Adult, Prefix = ADULT 6) Press the Save key located on the toolbar towards the left e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 14 of 21

Modifiers, like Attachments, are Categories that are used to alter the way a given item is prepared: with a salad, medium rare, etc. Modifiers will NOT pop-up however. They must be called using some kind of Condiment or Prep button. Usually this Prep Category will include items like Split Plate, No Ice, No Cheese, etc. If the Modifiers tab of a particular Menu Item is blank (nothing in the Type and Name columns), then the Menu Item will not take any special preparation instructions. Seldom will this be the desired situation so it is recommended that every Menu Item has some kind of Prep category in the Modifiers tab unless there is a strong, compelling reason not to. e7 Basic Programming Documentation page 17 of 21
