Meal deal sections
This article contains instructions on how to set up a meal deal section. Simphony has some additional settings and things to be aware of, which are explained below:
- When creating/editing meal deal sections, the menu level and sub menu level can be set (these values come from your POS). The levels are then applied to all products inside the meal deal section.
- The first meal deal section must match the Primary Combo Group on your POS. This is found by going to Configuration ➜ Sales ➜ Combo Meals on your EMC. Add the product(s) contained in the Simphony Primary Combo Group to the first meal deal section in Deliverect.
- To change the price of a product inside a meal deal section, click on the Surcharge option and enter the additional charge.
- It is not possible to add modifier/modifier groups inside meal deal sections.
- The Is upsell toggle that was in the previous Products page is replaced by upsell groups. You can use upsell groups to add items that do not belong to the Combo Meal on your POS. To learn how to create upsell groups, click here.
- It is necessary to fully replicate your POS Combo Meal in Deliverect. Add every side from the POS Combo Meal using meal deal sections.
Step 9. Once your meal deal is configured, add it to your menu and send a test order to check if it comes through to your POS correctly.
Instructions for legacy Products page
To set up Combo Meals (meal deals) in Deliverect, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Open your EMC and navigate to Configuration ➜ Sales ➜ Combo Meals.
After opening the Combo Meals section in EMC, you’ll see the overview of your Combo Meals.
There are 3 combos. The id’s highlighted in red are the ones you need to create as a combo in Deliverect.
Step 2. Go to the Deliverect products page to create the combo’s. Search for the combo using the PLU/ ID
Once you find the combo click on to create a combo out of the product.
Step 3. Create the main group
In Simphony, combo’s exist out of a main item and combo groups. We need to recreate them just like they are built in EMC.
The main item or primary group needs to be created as a bundle, the other combo groups need to be created as modifier groups.
Give the Bundle a name, set the min/max (it is required so set min 1, max 1), make sure that the location is not set to ‘All locations’ but select the master location of your account. If you don’t know the master location, reach out to someone from Deliverect.
Once the settings are set, you can add the main/primary product. Searching by PLU works best.
Don’t forget to add the -1 definition or your search results will be empty.
After adding the item in the bundle, click ‘Create bundle’. Now set the item level and the main group.
Click here to set the menu level/main group.
Set the correct menu level and turn the slider ‘Is Main Group’
Step 4. Create the combo groups. Click on ‘Create new group’.
Give it a name, set the location to the master location, choose a min/max and add items in the group.
Searching items based on the PLU works the best.
Repeat this step until all the groups have been created. Don’t forget to give them a menu level.
Step 5. Validate the combo. Perfectly set-up combos look like this.
Step 6. Once your combo is configured, add it to your menu and send a test order to check if it comes through to your POS correctly.
