Key Settings and Options for Multi-Branch Management

After installing the In-Restaurant Addon, you can access essential settings that help you optimize multi-branch management. Below are the most important options to get started:

1. Configuring Branch Locations

In a multi-branch setup, each branch location needs to be properly configured. Here’s how:

• Navigate to Branch Settings: Go to the Branch Settings tab from the main dashboard.
• Add New Branches: Select “Add New Branch” and enter details like branch name, address, contact information, and any specific settings unique to that location.
• Save and Enable Branch: Once the information is filled out, save the settings and activate the branch to appear in the ordering options.

By adding each branch’s information, customers can choose their preferred location, allowing your restaurant to effectively serve a broader customer base.

2. Setting Up Delivery Types and Table Number Selection

With multiple branches, it is crucial to offer customers delivery options that fit their needs. The add-on provides customizable delivery types and table number selection options, which you can configure per branch.

• Enable Delivery Types: To provide flexibility, choose from delivery, pickup, or in-restaurant dining options. You can customize this for each branch, making it easy for customers to select the most convenient method.
• Table Number Selection: For dine-in customers, enable table number selection. This allows guests to specify where they’ll be seated within the restaurant, making it easier for staff to locate them.

This configuration is available in the Availability Checker Popup, where customers can check availability for specific tables and delivery types before placing their order.

The single dashboard feature allows for a multi-location restaurant management experience that’s streamlined, efficient, and effective.
