Meal time periods

Meal time periods are used to set the times in which the system will be available for use. For example, lunch may run from 12:50 til 1:30, and a meal time period can be set to reflect this. Meal time periods are particularly useful for reporting, as they can be used to determine what was sold at certain times throughout the day.

You can enter the Meal time periods setting by entering the system settings and pressing the Meal time period button.

The grid will display default meal time periods and what start and end times they are valid.
