TAG

TAG, in general, is a label attached for the purpose of identification or to give some information. In DineConnect and DinePlan we use tags for various purposes which are explained in course.

The three tags here are,

• Price Tag

• Order Tag

• Ticket tag

PRICE TAG

The price tag is used to mark the prices of certain/all items to different prices. This can be done to promote the item/items or to run a certain offer. The item will be tagged with the Name which describes the offer. Usually, restaurants tags item prices to promote a particular item or category. Let us see how to create price tags and mark items with a different price.

NOTE: This is not promotions, promotions or discounts can be run separately.

ORDER TAG

The order tag is used to create add-ons to the items. For example, when a burger is ordered, add-ons such as extra cheese or extra mayonnaise can be added as the order tags. The tags have to be mapped with the item to be visible with the item

The order tags can be created using the steps defined below

Create Order Tags

STEP 1: Go to CONNECT --> TAGS --> ORDER TAG. The below page opens up. 

In this page, you can EXPORT, CREATE new order tag, EDIT or DELETE the existing order tags.

STEP 2: To create a new order tag, click on CREATE ORDER TAG, the following page appears. It has 3 sections.

STEP 3: Fill in the general details of the order tag in the GENERAL section. 

• NAME: Add the name of the TAG group.

• DEPARTMENT: Here you can select the Department to which the add on will be applicable. This useful to add add-ons to a particular department. 

• PREFIX - To add the prefix name.

• MINIMUM and MAXIMUM SELECT: To add a minimum and maximum selection number for the add-ons. For example, to add a minimum of 1 of 4 and a maximum of 2 of 4 types of sauces for pizza.

• FREE TAG - This will allow adding any other tag while taking the order.

• SAVE FREE TAGS - If any other tag other than the existing tag is created using Free Tag during taking an order, then, there is an option to save the tag.

• ADD TAG PRICE TO ORDER - This will add the add on price to the order.

• TAX-FREE - To create tax-free addons.

STEP 4: In the TAGS section, add the add on items, Example, add on to select a sauce from different sauces is shown below where the different sauce items will be created in the tags.

• Add the Name of the tag, You can use different languages to denote the items.

• Select the item created in Menu item to make it an add on. Note that, the add on items can either be created in Main menu items or directly created here. If the item is not created in the Main menu and is added here directly then there is no need to select anything in MENU ITEM.

• Select the quantity, add the price of the add on has an extra price.

NOTE: If the item is not created in the Main Menu and directly created on this page then inventory for the add-on items will not be counted. Hence, to have a count of inventory on the add-on items create the items in the main menu and select the item under the Menu Item column while creating the tag.

STEP 5: Go to the MAPS section, Here you can add the items to which the created add-ons along with the add-on group can be associated so that it appears while making an order for that item.
