Frontend view 

On the menu screen, when an alcoholic product or a product with alcoholic condiments is clicked, a popup will appear asking if you are of legal age.  If the AGREE button is selected then the item will be added to the order and the popup disappears. The popup will not occur again when other alcoholic items are added as it is recorded that the customer is over the age limit. 

Age restriction prompt 

 

If NO is clicked then the popup will close. If the customer tries to add an alcoholic item again, another popup will occur. This panel will display a similar message, the terms and conditions setup in the backpanel, the item name and image of the selected product. If the AGREE button is selected then the item is added. The selections are recorded on the back panel where staff can check, if necessary.  

When the order is finalised and guests click the checkout button, there will be a prompt for a name and mobile number. This will occur even if dine-in group setup is enabled.

Notes: 

  • If a customer uses a guest account to complete the transaction and has accepted the age restriction. They can make more purchases without verifying the restriction. This will only last until the table is closed or the guest user has logged out.

  • If a customer uses a member account to complete the transaction and accepts the age restriction. It will be recorded and they will be verified permanently. This means members can log back into their account at any time and will not need to verify again.
