    Flag number on the bill

    If you give guests a flag or a number stand to take to their table, the till can give the bill the same number. The flag number becomes the bill's name and shows on the bill, the kitchen ticket and the kitchen screen (KDS). That way staff know where the food goes.

    Turn on the quick button:

    1. Open the till menu and choose Kassainställningar, or go to Admin › Enheter › Kassor and pick the till
    2. Under Snabbknappar (quick buttons), turn on Flaggnummer. The button is off to start with

    In the button row the button is labelled Flaggnummer, or Flagga when space is short.

    Setting a flag number:

    1. Open the bill and tap Flaggnummer
    2. Key in the number on the number pad, for example 12. The number can have up to 4 digits
    3. Tap OK

    To remove the number, tap Flaggnummer again and then Ta bort (remove). If the bill already has its own name, for example Anna Andersson, the flag number replaces it. The dialog tells you before you save.

    Let the till ask for the flag number

    The till can ask for the flag number itself, so no order goes to the kitchen without one. The setting is called Fråga efter flaggnummer vid bongning (ask for flag number when sending to the kitchen) and is under Kassainställningar › Beteende › Bongning, both on the till and under Admin › Enheter › Kassor. It applies per till.

    ModeWhat happens
    Av (Off)The till does not ask. Default
    Fråga (Ask)The Flaggnummer dialog opens when a bill without a flag number is sent to the kitchen or paid. You can tap Hoppa över (skip)
    Kräv (Require)The same dialog, but without Hoppa över. The bill cannot be sent or paid until it has a number

    The till asks when you tap Bonga and when you take payment with Ta betalt, with the payment buttons among the quick buttons, or with Betala hela (pay all). If you tap Avbryt (cancel) in Require mode, the send or the payment stops and the bill stays as it was.

    You can also ask AI Boss to show or change the mode for a till, for example Require a flag number on Kassa 1. The setting only exists on tills.

    When the till does not ask:

    • The bill already has a flag number
    • The bill has no rows for the kitchen, for example only drinks that are not sent
    • The mode is Av (Off)

    A name of your own on the bill, like Anna Andersson, does not count as a flag number. The till still asks.

    With a group ticket: when several bills are collected into one shared ticket, the till asks only once, when you send the collection. See Group ticket – one kitchen ticket for the whole party.
