Configure Sales Point Display

In the Display tab of the bessa Kassa Manager, you configure the appearance and behavior of your sales point. Here you define which ordering interface is shown at startup, how prices are displayed, which consumption types are available, and much more.

Select Order Screen

The order screen determines which interface the sales point displays when starting an order (beginning of the ordering process).

Use Case

Depending on your business type, you can use different ordering interfaces:

• Separate gastro screen for traditional restaurants with table service

• Separate kiosk screen for takeaway or kiosk operations

• Separate retail screen for retail

Select Room

Defines the room that the sales point should initially display at startup. This is especially important for businesses with multiple rooms or areas.

Use Case

Restaurant with multiple areas:

• Sales point 1 (entrance area) → Room "Indoor"

• Sales point 2 (patio) → Room "Outdoor"

Screensaver

The screensaver activates after a defined period of inactivity and displays either your company logo, a graphic, or a video.

Configuration

1. Enter the inactivity time in seconds (0 seconds disables the screensaver)

2. Choose the display type:

   • Default: Animated company logo (no configuration required)

   • Custom Graphic: Upload a file (see supported formats below)

3. Save the settings

Supported File Formats

Important Notes

• File Size: Maximum 25 MB

• Resolution: Size should match the screen size and resolution of the device

• Aspect Ratio: Ensure correct aspect ratio to avoid distortion

Use Case

• Advertising: Display daily specials or promotions during idle times

• Branding: Show company logo for brand reinforcement

• Security: Hide sensitive sales point data when not in use

Price Display

The price display determines whether prices on the sales point are shown as gross or net prices.

Behavior with Net Display

When Net is selected:

• Item prices are displayed as net prices

• Subtotals are displayed as net prices

• Receipts and invoices show net prices

• The final payment amount is always gross (incl. VAT)

Use Case

Net Display is suitable for:

• B2B customers (business customers)

• Wholesale

• Businesses primarily working with corporate clients

Gross Display is suitable for:

• End customers (B2C)

• Hospitality

• Retail

Digital Receipt

The digital receipt displays a QR code on the customer display through which the customer can access their PDF invoice.

Behavior

When Digital Receipt is enabled:

• ✅ QR code is displayed on the customer display

• ❌ Automatic receipt printing is disabled

• ✅ Manual receipt printing remains possible

Benefits

• Environmentally Friendly: Paper savings through digital receipts

• Customer Choice: Customers can decide whether to print the receipt

• Archiving: Customers have direct digital access to their receipt

Use Case

Ideal for:

• Environmentally conscious businesses

• Modern hospitality and retail businesses

• High-traffic businesses (reduction of printing costs)

User-Table Binding

User-table binding prevents multiple users from booking at the same table simultaneously. This increases clarity and avoids conflicts.

How It Works

With User-Table Binding Enabled:

Option 1: Fixed User Assigned

• A fixed user can be assigned to a table in the table management

• Only this user can book at the assigned table

Option 2: Automatic Binding

• If no fixed user is assigned, the user who makes the first booking at the table is automatically bound to the table

• The binding remains until complete payment

Release Binding

To release the binding prematurely (e.g., during shift change):

1. Assign the permission "Manage Table-User Binding" to the user role

2. Users with this permission can release the binding of a table

3. Another user can then continue the bookings or payment

Use Case

With Binding Enabled:

• Prevention of double bookings

• Clear responsibilities (waiter is responsible for their table)

• Better traceability in case of complaints

Without Binding:

• Flexible staff deployment

• Multiple waiters can serve the same table

• Ideal for small teams or staff shortages

Consumption Types

Consumption types define how customers consume your products ("Dine-in", "Takeaway", "Delivery"). At least one consumption type must be assigned.

Important Notes

• Minimum Requirement: At least one consumption type must be assigned

• Tax Relevance: Consumption types can have different VAT rates (e.g., Dine-in and Takeaway in Germany)

• Price Relevance: Consumption types are the basis for price levels (see next section)

Price Levels

Price levels allow you to set different prices for your items depending on consumption type, day of the week, or time of day. This enables flexible pricing strategies such as happy hour promotions, weekend pricing, or different prices for delivery and pickup.

Prerequisite

Before you can use price levels, you must define consumption types (see previous section).

Simple Installation Without Price Levels

For simple installations without different prices, it's sufficient to define only the consumption types. In this case, you can distinguish between different consumption types (e.g., "Dine-in" vs. "Takeaway"), but only the item's standard price will be used.

Working with Price Levels

Once you activate price levels, you can define different prices for the same consumption type – depending on time periods, weekdays, or times of day.

Managing Price Levels

Create a Pricing Levels

1. Scroll to the Price Levels section

2. Click Add Price Level

3. Configure the desired parameters (see below)

4. Save the settings

Edit a Price Level

1. Select the desired price level from the list

2. Make the desired changes

3. Save the settings

Delete a Price Level

1. Select the price level from the list

2. Click Delete

3. Confirm the deletion

Configuration Options for Price Levels

Priority and Order

The order of price levels defines the priority when multiple price levels of the same consumption type are active simultaneously. The price level with higher priority (higher up in the list) will be applied.

Example: You have two price levels for "Dine-in":

• Price level 1: Weekend pricing (Saturday-Sunday)

• Price level 2: Happy hour (daily 5-7 PM)

On Saturday at 6 PM, both time periods apply. The sales point uses the price level with higher priority.

Validity Period (optional)

Define a time-limited promotion period:

• Start date: When the price level becomes active

• End date: When the price level expires

Use case: Christmas market promotion from December 1, 2025 to December 24, 2025

Weekdays (optional)

Select individual weekdays (Monday through Sunday) when the price level should be active.

Use case: Weekend pricing only on Saturday and Sunday

Time Range (optional)

Define a daily time span:

• From (time): Start time of the price level

• To (time): End time of the price level

Use case: Happy hour daily from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Status Display of Price Levels

After saving, the sales point displays the status of each price level:

• ✅ Green Checkmark: Price level is correctly configured and active

• ❌ Red X: Price level is inactive (e.g., because the assigned consumption type doesn't exist or was deleted)

Practical Application Examples

Happy Hour at a Bar

Scenario: All cocktails cost 20% less between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Configuration:

• Consumption type: "Dine-in"

• Weekdays: Monday through Friday

• Time range: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

• Price: Reduced cocktail price

Different Prices for Delivery

Scenario: Delivery food costs more than pickup.

Configuration:

• Price level 1: Consumption type "Pickup" → Standard price

• Price level 2: Consumption type "Delivery" → Increased price

Weekend Special Pricing at a Restaurant

Scenario: Weekend brunch pricing applies.

Configuration:

• Consumption type: "Dine-in"

• Weekdays: Saturday and Sunday

• Time range: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

• Price: Brunch menu price

Seasonal Promotion (e.g., Oktoberfest)

Scenario: Special pricing for beer and food during Oktoberfest.

Configuration:

• Consumption type: "Dine-in"

• Validity period: September 16, 2025 - October 3, 2025

• Price: Festival price for beer and food

Important Notes on Price Levels

• Minimum requirement: At least one consumption type must be assigned

• Priority rule: In case of conflicts, the order of price levels determines which is applied

• Standard price: If no price level is active, the item's standard price is used

• Unlimited quantity: You can create as many price levels as needed

• Combination: All three optional parameters (validity period, weekdays, time range) can be combined

Price Levels on Sub-Terminals

Sub-terminals (secondary sales points) can either use their own price levels or inherit the price levels from the main sales point.

Default Behavior

When no price levels are defined for the sub-terminal:

• The sub-terminal automatically inherits the price levels from the main sales point

• All time-dependent prices and consumption types from the main sales point apply to the sub-terminal

Assign Custom Price Levels

To customize the pricing behavior of a sub-terminal:

1. Open Locations → Sales Points → Select the desired sub-terminal

2. Navigate to the Display tab

3. Define the desired consumption types (if different from the main sales point)

4. Create custom price levels for this terminal

5. Save the settings

Use Case

Scenario: Restaurant with main sales point at entrance and sub-terminal on the patio

Main Sales Point:

• Happy hour Mon-Fri 5:00-7:00 PM (indoor area)

• Standard consumption type: "Dine-in"

Sub-Terminal (Patio):

• Custom price level: Patio pricing Sat-Sun all day (+10% surcharge)

• Custom consumption type: "Patio"

Through separate assignment, the patio can operate with its own prices, while without assignment, the main sales point’s prices would automatically apply.
