Do you hold events where drink limits are needed? Our QR-code solution, OrderAway, now lets you set quantity limits against products on a transaction basis. From managing workflows to adhering to the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) laws, you can limit the number of drinks ordered in each transaction.
The Mix & Match – Max Allowed rule is native to SwiftPOS Touch and is a powerful tool to prevent staff from overselling items to patrons. This feature is available in OrderAway, preventing patrons from over-ordering a family of products, such as drinks. Here is a quick-fire way to get you started.
