What is a Combo Slot?

A Combo Slot is a document that will always be tagged to a combo and will contain a set of items where the user can choose in order to build their combo. When you select a combo you know what main item you are going to get but not which side or drink, as there is a wide variety you can choose from. Comboslots will host all the options for each of this these characteristics (Sides, Drinks…) to make the UI more user friendly. The reason we create this in a new document rather than in a the combo document itself it’s is because we want the user to be able to select only one or multiple of those items but not all (for example, you will have one comboslot that is Medium Sides and one that is Medium Drinks).

Info

When you sell Meals, chances are you usually provide similar options to your guests. For example, selling Meals of a Whopper, Big King, or Double Cheeseburger will typically not change the fact that you offer the same Sides (Fries, Onion Rings, etc.) and Drinks (Coca-Cola, Fanta, etc.)

For that reason, we have created a simple way for you to configure Combo Slots that then can be mapped to your Combos. This way, you configure once your options and then apply to all the different Combos, instead of adding the same 20 drinks and sides, one by one, to every different Combo.

...

Each Option should be mapped to the corresponding Item.

This will be used in case you want to set an item in the combo slot as an upsell option so we need to charge extra for it.

Example:

  • Drinks Combo slot:

    • Coke (Option)

    • Fanta (Option)

    • Sprite (Option)

    • Chocolate Shake (Option - Premium Item)

Tip

Pricing Premium Items

We support 2 different mathematical options for Premium Options within a Combo Slot:

  1. Delta - Calculates the difference (Delta) between the selections A La Carte price and the combo slots default item price to display as the price for the combo slot when selected.

    1. Example: Medium Sides default option (Fries) costs 5. Nuggets cost 7. When selecting Nuggets within the combo, customer is charged 2 extra.

  2. Direct - If the Combo Slot option is marked as premium it will price the items with A La Carte price when its selected inside a combo. When its not premium it's included in the combo for free.

    1. Example: Medium Sides default option (Fries) costs 5. Nuggets cost 7. When selecting Nuggets within the combo, customer is charged 7 extra.

Info

The order of premium items can be configured to appear in the first position (e.g., before all free options) by configuring the following feature flag: https://rbictg.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COG/pages/3862102421/Feature+Flag+List#1%EF%B8%8F%E2%83%A38%EF%B8%8F%E2%83%A3--Enable-premium-options-at-first-position

Combo Slots are always meant to be set to ignore

...

The reason for this is your POS vendor wont have a PLU for Medium Sides, they would have a plu PLU for Medium Fries. We want to ensure that the POS wants, but reads the correct information, and setting it to ignore you will tell the system that they need it needs to read the plu PLU of the item the user has chosen in the comb slot.

Items as Combo Slots

This is a special case for

Offers and PLK

Popeyes Bone-In Chicken

There are offers where you might for the user to be able to select between 2 different items (Choose between a Chicken Royale or a Whopper for 5$). In a normal menu case, you would set this up as a picker and set each option as a picker aspect. However, offers don't have the concept of picker so we use the combo slots as a helper for us to be able to create these kinds of offers

.

With this offer what you would do is you would create an offer document for the offer. Create a combo document for the offer and create a comb slot with both options, setting the min and max to 1 forcing the user to chose one option. Then you soullike this comboslot to the combo within the offer. Then you are able to offer the guest a choice within the main item

Unique to PLK, BIC Popeyes, Bone-In Chicken requires we structure as Combo Slots with the components as the default cuts for the item. Guests are unable to modify this in any way.
