Compiled Order Screen

(Maitre'D 8.00.000.057 and later versions of Maitre'D)

You can compile chosen items in real-time on the Order screen. As you choose items, if some identical ones have already been selected, they will be displayed on the same line instead of being displayed each on their own line. This is useful when ordering for multiple guests on the same customer screen.

If you choose an item previously selected, it is automatically added on the same line as the previously chosen one.

Note: This option also compiles identical items ordered in separate operations.
