💡

Odoo is entirely integrated into an App. Download it to turn your phone into an additional cashier (and much more).


Use Case:


By uploading this module's demo data, your database has been filled with a few products, an appointment type, a website, and a sample planning.

You should be able to execute the following flows to have an overview of various flows you can quickly execute with this package using Odoo.

Of course, this is just an overview of the features included in this package. Feel free to add new apps, delete/modify demo data, and test everything around!

⚠️

You didn't import demo data? You can still do it. Go to Apps > Industries > Upgrade your Fine Dining Restaurant package and check the related box.


1. Point of sale


From the Point of Sale App, open your register on the main dashboard using the 3333 PIN code.

🔑

The Point of Sale is protected to assign different rights to employees depending on your level of trust. 
You can remove this PIN code requirement : Point of Sale > Configuration > Setting > PoS Inferface unselecting the Log in with Employees setting.

You can define the employee PIN code from the employee's Settings tab.

1. You are ready to welcome your first customers. To do so, select a table on the floor map and select the products they asked for from the list.

💡

You can easily edit the floor map by clicking "Edit plan" in the top-right menu when on the table selection step of your Point of Sale.

2. To make it more interesting, feel free to create a second order. For this one, select the "Burger Menu Combo" product. You can choose 2 burger options and 4 different drinks. This "Combo" feature will allow you to create a menu with several courses and choices for each.

⚠️

Don't forget to hit the "Order" button each time you change an order. This will forward the order to the Kitchen Display.

3. After placing your orders, look at our Kitchen Display. Click the "Backend" menu in the right corner to return to your backend, then switch to the Kitchen Display App.

4. Open your preparation screen. Your orders are there. You can now mark them as done either line by line or the entire order by clicking on the top.

🚀

You currently have two steps in your Kitchen Display: one for the kitchen/bar and one for the service. You can configure steps in the kitchen display configuration menu.

At the end of your service, remember to close your register. To do so, in the Point of Sale App, select "Close Register" in the top-right menu. You can then precise your cash amount and validate the closing.

🎓 Point of Sales


2. Table booking


Manage your booking using the Appointments App.

You can discover a pre-configured Appointment Type named "Book a table". Use it to schedule services, the duration of each booking, and every communication you want to send to your customers when they place a booking.

🕣

This setup is made to provide availability from Monday to Sunday, with 2 services a day (12:00 AM to 15:00 PM and 18:00 PM to 23:00 PM), and slots every 15 minutes. Feel free to edit this to reflect on your opening hours!

Do you want to test it and see how it looks on your website? Click on the "Preview" button.

Share a direct link with external services using the "Share" option.

✏️

When editing your Point of Sale plan, if adding tables, make sure the book-able tables are listed in the resources of your appointment. 

💡

If bundling tables for larger groups is a common practice at your place, you can setup such configuration by defining which tables can be added to one by opening a tabe and assigning linled resources: Appointments App > Configuration > Resources > Select the table to link others to.

🎓 Appointments


3. Website and online menu


Your website management has never been so easy. Go to the Website App to discover a sample website and explore millions of possibilities by clicking on the "Edit" button.

💡

Make sure your menu is available and up to date!

🎓 Website


4. Replenishment


Replenishment is essential but challenging for a bar owner to systematize.

You have two main possibilities in Odoo to ease your replenishment process.

1. Flow 1: Most products need a human assessment as the remaining quantity cannot be automatically computed. For those, a Recurring Task is created in the Project App. This task reappears every week, and you can personalize it with a checklist to avoid forgetting anything.

Go to your Purchase App to easily create Requests for Proposal or Purchase Orders.

💡

By the way, you can see another project with recurring tasks. This one is a demo for cleaning tasks.

2. Flow 2: For products that can be tracked, such as bottled beers and sodas, you can use automated purchases. To try it, navigate to your Point of Sale and sell a Blond Beer to a customer.

⚠️

The stock is only updated when you close your register. Let's do it before continuing to the next step.

By doing so, you have only 23 beers left in your stock.

🔁

You can see that there is a reordering rule configured for this product if you go to Inventory > Products > Blond Beer

Reordering rules are displayed in the smart buttons on top of your product. You can see a minimum quantity, and a maximum. Each time the forecast stock lowers beneath the minimum stock, it automatically creates a purchase order to replenish to the maximum quantity.

You can access all products and their reordering rules from the Inventory > Operations > Replenishment

If you navigate to your Purchase App, you can see a new Purchase Order that is ready to be sent. You can choose a packaging if your product has an existing one.

You can now email your Request for Proposal to your vendor or confirm it manually.

Once the products are there, you can click the "Receipt" smart button to validate your receipt and add these new products to your stock.

🎓 Inventory


5. Plan your services


Plan your services easily using the Planning App.

1. First, create all your employees in the database. Navigate to the Employees App to do so.

2. Create your employees' roles under the "Settings" tab. Some are already created for this demo.

🚀

If you want to assign them an Odoo user account, you can select a related user in the same "Settings" tab.

3. Return to the Planning App. You can see a few shifts ready to be planned. Select the down arrow next to the publish button and click "Auto Plan." Your shifts will be automatically assigned based on your employees' availability.

4. You can still reassign any shift to adapt the planning.

5. Once you are happy with it, send it to your co-workers by smashing the publish button.


Make your team grow smoothly leveraging this package!

1. From the Employees App, create new employees, making sure to assign roles in the Work Information tab to auto plan their shifts, and their Hourly Cost in the Settings tab for your profitability computations.

💡

If you want each employee to have their own access as users, you will need to create users for them and associate them to the newly created employees from the Settings tab.

2. From the Point of Sales App > Configuration > Settings, assign the appropriate rights to those new employees in the POS interface section.

🎓 Planning


Willing your employees to clock in and out? The Attendances App enables you to follow up on this.

1. Open the Attendances App > Settings and copy the kiosk Url available in the Kiosk Settings.

2. Open the Kiosk Url in another device so that every employee has access to it.

3. Each employee click on their tile to clock in and out.

🔑

You can secure the clocking in and out using the employee's PIN code. To do so, go to Attendances > Configuration > Settings > Kiosk Settings and check the Employee PIN identification.

You can define the employee PIN code from the employee's Settings tab.

4. Find the recorded employee attendances from the Attendance App.
