User Defined Fields:


On the customer's profile there are 3 optional blank fields that allow you to add additional information if needed. For example cross streets or a gate code to get into a private area when delivering an order. If you select the "Print" checkbox, the field will print on the customer's receipt (You must also turn on "Customer Comment" in printer ticket configuration)

Customer Groups:

The Customer Group Feature is a powerful marketing tool that lets you assign customers to any categories you choose.

Example: Many operators will do fundraisers for schools or community groups. You can allow customers to be associated with the group of their choice, and then decide if you wish to offer incentives based on totals spent by that group. You can also offer a discount or promotional price to only customers within that group.

Required For Lookup:

Checking any of these fields will make them required whenever you try to add a new customer. Users need to balance the need for quick data entry when taking orders with the need to create a complete customer database that you can use for marketing purposes in the future.

If zone is used for delivery charges but not required to save, you will be required to edit the customer and select a zone before a delivery order can be taken
