Modules

Modules sits above Settings in the menu. It lists every part of BookNDish, grouped like the menu, and where each one stands for this venue.

What each state means

• "Always on": part of every venue, such as Orders, Menus and Guests.
• "On": an optional tool that is switched on for this venue. "Open" goes to its page, and "Settings" to its setup where it has one.
• "Off": an optional tool in your plan that is switched off. Its switch acts at once, with nothing to save.
• "In menu", or "Hidden from menu": a module most venues use, shown in your menu or taken out of it. Whether guests can use it is decided in its own settings: the card lists those switches, such as "Guests order delivery:" with "On" or "Off", and "Change" opens the page that sets each one.
• "Needs setup": another step comes first. Surplus bags, for example, are paid ahead by card, so the card shows "Connect payments" until card payments are set up.
• "Needs a plan": your plan does not include it. The card names the plan that does, and a button such as "See what Pro adds" opens the plan comparison.
• "Not for this venue": it follows what the venue is or where it is, like the hotel pages or fiscal registers. These are folded away at the foot of the page.

The filters under "Show modules" pick "All", "On", "Off" or "Needs a plan", and "Search modules" finds a module by its name, including the old names of pages.

Taking a module out of the menu

A module most venues use, such as Delivery, Gift cards or Reservations, has the switch "Show in the menu". Switching it off asks first, then takes its links out of the menu and the page tabs for everyone at this venue. Nothing is deleted, and its pages still open from a saved link. It does not close the module to guests either: delivery, for example, is still switched on or off under Settings, "Ordering". Switch it back on at any time.

Turning optional tools on

Optional tools such as Training, Payroll, the Month-end close and Capital start off. Their switch is "On for this venue". Turning one off closes its pages for the team until you turn it back on; nothing is deleted. A module whose parts have switches of their own lists them under "Also in this module".

Once sensors are on, a "Sensor alerts" card at the foot of the page sets how long an unanswered alert waits before it goes further, as the Sensors, waste, training and maintenance guide explains. The guest revenue switches, such as memberships and the shop, are on the "Guest revenue" tab of Campaigns & reviews, as the Guest revenue guide explains.

What a new venue starts with

A new venue starts with the modules that suit its type: a café without the kitchen display, delivery, reservations, events and multi-location; a bar without the kitchen display, delivery and multi-location; a restaurant without multi-location; a hotel without delivery and loyalty. Anything left out is one switch away.

"Suggested for you" lists tools that venues like yours use.
