A size for every item, with its price
Small, medium and large, or any sizes you want, each with its own price. Reports show each size's sales on its own row, so you know which size people really order.
Sizes and add-ons
Medium, no onion, extra cheese
Every option on an item has its rule and price, the cashier picks in a few taps without forgetting anything, and the kitchen reads the order exactly as the guest asked.
Why add-ons are where money slips away
Extra cheese that was never charged, a large rung up as a medium, a guest who asked for no onion and a kitchen that never knew. The cashier writes a note by hand, the kitchen reads hurried handwriting, and at month end the stock is short on cheese and nobody knows why.
In Loqma, sizes and add-ons are options defined on the item, each with its price and rule. The cashier cannot add the item while a required choice is missing, the add-on prints on the kitchen ticket and the invoice, and it deducts stock if it has a recipe.
How it works in Loqma
Add-on groups with their rules
One group for sauces, another for the bread, a third for doneness. For each group you set whether it is required and the fewest and most choices a guest can make, and each option has its extra price. One group can be attached to many items.
The cashier sees what is missing
Each group carries a counter of how many are picked against its limit, and once the limit is reached the remaining options dim. If the cashier presses add with a required choice missing, the screen names every missing group, not just the first.
Tapping the size adds the item
When all that is left on an item is one required choice such as its size, tapping the size itself adds the item to the order, with no confirm button. Optional add-ons are picked before it.
Quick notes for the kitchen
Nine notes in one tap: rush, pack separately, extra spicy, sauce on the side, no salt, for a child, very hot, no ice, cut in pieces. They print in the till's language for the kitchen to read, with a typed note beside them when you need one.
An add-on deducts its stock
Each add-on can have its own recipe: extra cheese deducts cheese, an extra shot deducts coffee. So stock and cost count what was actually sold, not just the base item.
The details that matter on an order
- Add-ons print under the item on the kitchen ticket, the kitchen display and the invoice
- Two items with the same options merge into one line with a quantity; different options stay as two lines
- The same rules apply in the online store and the table menu, and the system checks them itself even if the page did not
- Renaming a group or changing an option's price never wipes the add-on recipes or breaks order history
- A group with no maximum set allows all its options, so a guest can have mayonnaise and ketchup together
- An optional pick-one choice can be un-picked
- On a tablet the options sit beside the basket; on a phone, on their own screen, with the same rules
- An old receipt keeps the option names and prices from the time of sale even after they change
Sizes, add-ons and quick notes are in every plan. Add-on recipes that deduct stock start from the Growth plan. Pricing
Common questions
Yes. Make the group required, and the cashier cannot add the item until a choice is made from it; the same goes for the guest in the online store.
Set the group's maximum to 3. The cashier sees the counter, and once the third is picked the rest dim. You can set a minimum too, such as "pick at least two sauces".
Each option has its own extra price, or none at zero. The price is added to the item's price in the basket and on the invoice, while a size carries its own price in place of the item's.
There are nine fixed quick notes in one tap, plus a note field you can type anything into. The quick note list itself cannot be changed at the moment.
Yes, if you give them a recipe on the recipes page: every time the add-on sells, its ingredients are deducted from stock and counted in the dish's cost.
Splitting an item's add-ons into two halves is not available at the moment. You can define a "second half" group as options on the item, and it prints for the kitchen under the item.
