Summary

Guest identifier requirements are configured by areas within a site. Specific areas can be set to require a guest identifier on orders and/or to prompt for the guest identifier to be entered before ordering. If the area is not required to use a guest identifier, the user can still add one by tapping the (info) icon at the bottom of the check panel on the app screen. A guest identifier is useful to call a guest's name name when an order is ready, as in counter service mode. 

...

Prompt for guest identifier before ordering When guest identifier is required, select to launch the guest identifier prompt at the start of an order (after server attaches to a location) instead of at the end of the ordering process. 
  • If number in party is required, prompt appears after entering number in party. 
  • If no default order type is defined (Dine In, Take Out, etc.), prompt appears after selecting order type for location.
