The default order type and menu category

 

Users with specialized permissions such as bartenders may find it convenient to bypass the start screen and view menu items directly after logging in. For example, to force the bartender directly to the Bottle Beer category on the order entry screen, select Bar as the default order type and Bottle Beer as the default bar category.

 

This feature is also convenient for counter staff in coffee houses, where the cashier can be taken directly to the most popular coffee drinks category after logging in.
