Guest Identifier Speed Screen

Summary

To improve ordering speed and ease of use, the order taker can select from a list of guest identifiers for quick guest identification during the order-taking workflow. 

Guest identifiers are created in ECM by creating guest identifier categories (e.g., vehicle type) and adding specific guest identifiers within each category (e.g., sedan, convertible, SUV). 

The availability of guest identifiers is controlled by area; sites set specific areas to use guest identifier speed screens.
