It can be configured so that a resident ordering at a POS station will be presented with items from their personal menu, rather than the standard menu offerings.
For example, if the resident is on a non-regular diet order, then the personal menu will contain the therapeutic items that have been extended for the regular menu items.
In addition, by configuring a POS station to show personalized menus, then any customizations done directly on the personal menu, such as the addition of personal menu items, will also be available to order by the resident at a POS station.
To enable personalized menus for a resident at a POS station, complete the following steps:
- In Touch Admin, click POS Setting > Locations.
- Click the Edit button of the POS location.
- Scroll to the Service Configuration section.
- Select the Use resident personalized menus check box.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Save Location button to apply your changes.
Note 1: The Use resident personalized menus option only applies to a POS location. It does not apply to the Portal app. At this time, only menu items of the regular diet type and regular texture type are available to order on the Portal app. Extended substitute items are not available to order, nor are any personal menu customizations (e.g., personal menu items or substitutes).
Note 2: With the Use resident personalized menus option selected, the system will prevent any menu items appearing for a resident/patient with the non-select service type when their name is assigned as a diner at a POS station.
