When the customer orders just the sandwich, the bigger sale is one question away: “Would you like it as a combo for R$ 10,00 more?”. At rush hour, if the cashier has to remember which combo goes with it and work out the difference, they don’t ask. That’s why the POS shows the suggestion as soon as you open the product: what to offer, how much more the customer pays and the total. It’s the same suggestion the kiosk makes to the customer.
The bare minimum
  • It only shows up on products the menu has set up with an upsell.
  • It doesn’t slow down the sale: if the customer says no, you carry on as usual.
  • Tapping an option swaps the product in the order for that option; it doesn’t add another one.

​
Prerequisites

​
1. Open the product

Tap the product in the grid. It goes into the order as usual and, if it has an upsell, the panel on the right shows Offer the customer at the top with each option: how much more the customer pays and the total. Below, after a band, come the Product options.
Kentucky Salad panel with Offer the customer: the combo for R$ 10,00 more and the Big Box for R$ 21,00 more; below, the product options
The options go from the cheapest to the most expensive, always in the same order.

​
2. Show what it includes

If the customer asks what it comes with, tap the info button ⓘ next to the option. It shows the menu description or, if there is none, what the product comes with, using the options that come selected. The ones marked your choice can be changed later. Looking at the details doesn’t change the order.
Big Box details open: Kentucky Salad, 2 Tiras de Frango, Batata Média and Coca Cola 400 ml, the last three your choice

​
3. If the customer accepts, tap the option

Tap the option, not the ⓘ. The product in the order is swapped for the chosen option, with its cheapest options, and the panel stays open so you can adjust them: the drink, for example. If the option has an upgrade of its own, the panel already suggests it.
The order with Combo Kentucky Salad instead of the sandwich and the combo panel suggesting the Big Box for R$ 11,00 more
If the customer doesn’t want anything else, you’re done: carry on with Sell and charge.

​
What happens to the order

  • One unit is swapped. If the line has two identical products, it keeps one and the combo goes in separately.
  • What was marked on the sandwich doesn’t carry over to the combo. If the customer asked for, say, no onion, mark it again in the combo panel.
  • With charges already taken, if lowering that product would leave the total below what was charged, the POS doesn’t make the swap and tells you.

​
Worked example

With the Brazil menu, when the customer orders a Kentucky Salad: The difference is worked out against the grid price. The total is the combo’s price with its cheapest options: if the customer switches the drink for a more expensive one, the difference adds up as usual.

​
Mistakes that cost money

Tapping the option to show the customer what it includes. Tapping it swaps the product in the order. To show the details, use the ⓘ.
Charging without checking the combo’s options. The combo goes in with the cheapest options, the cheapest drink for example. If the customer asked for another one, change it before charging or the kitchen makes the wrong thing.
Not marking again what they asked for on the sandwich. What was marked (no onion, with bacon) doesn’t carry over to the combo, and the kitchen makes it standard.
