In this part of the documentation we go through the individual menu items that are available and that allow you to configure the various bessa modules.
General
Navigation
Using the search field in the top left corner, you can select a company that you want to modify. If you have only created one company in bessa, the search function cannot be used.
If you have multiple venues, you can switch the currently active venue using this navigation field.
1. Venue
Here you can change the master data for your venue; this data is then displayed in the whitelabel app and in the web shop.
-
Company data such as name, e-mail, etc.
-
Background image for the app and the web shop.
-
Social media – here you can change your social media profiles.
-
Opening hours.
2. Status
Here you see a brief summary of what still needs to be done so you can use our bessa products. Once everything is done, the success bar is 100% green.
Customer Loyalty
In their whitelabel app and in our bessa app, we offer customers promotions and loyalty cards. With these, the customer can be tied to the company, and customers can be more strongly motivated with promotion cards.
Customer loyalty also works without a whitelabel app or ordering module, but in that case not all cards listed in this documentation can be used.
1. Bonus Cards
A loyalty pass or collector card is used to reward customers who regularly visit the venue or order there regularly. We distinguish between 2 types of collector cards.
-
Points card – with this card, points are collected. The points are calculated from the order total. Usually 1 euro = 1 point, but this can be changed by the bessa team on request.
-
Stamp card – with this card, stamps are collected; one stamp per article applies.
This documentation shows you how to create such a card.
-
Log in to bessa Manager.
-
In the menu on the left, select Promotions.
-
You will now see a list of your existing promotion cards, or, if you haven't created any yet, the list is empty. To create a new promotion card, click the + New Bonus Card button.
-
In the menu that opens, you can choose between a points card and a stamp card.
After choosing the card, a new dialog opens where you can configure it. The settings for Details, Articles and Design are the same for both collector cards. We first cover the shared settings before going into the differences between the two collector cards.
General Settings
In the first Details tab you can make the following settings.
Title – in this field you can define a title that is shown to the app user; if you don't want a title, write a - in the field.
Subtitle – in this field you can add a short text, which is shown centred under the title.
Description – in this field you can define a description for the promotion card; this is seen by the user when they tap the card in the app, which then flips and shows the text.
Activate only in specific venues – in our system it is possible for customer loyalty cards to be used across multiple venues simultaneously. If this is not desired, you can restrict the card to specific venues.
Card activated – with this action you can deactivate the card at short notice.
Article Settings
The articles selected here restrict the collector card to those selected articles. If no articles are entered here, the points or stamps for the order are calculated from the order total. If articles are entered, e.g. "A beer collector card", points or stamps are only collected for those articles entered in the list.
Follow the instructions to select an article for the collector card.
-
Click into the field Search & add article
-
Enter the PLU or the name of the article
-
A drop-down menu appears; select the desired article
-
The article then appears in the article list under the search field.
Design Settings
These are analogous to the design settings of the promotion cards. → Design Settings
Points Card Settings
Collecting points depends on the article settings and on the following settings. The points are calculated from the order amounts. If articles are entered, only the net amounts of those articles are collected per order.
An example: a pizza collector card collects points only for pizzas. An order is placed with 3 pizzas (€10) and 2 salads (€5) and several drinks. As a result, 30 points are collected.
Collected points
The collected points of the points card can be redeemed via redeemable articles. → Redeemable Articles. There is also the option to use the discount features of the promotion card to give the customer a benefit.
Settings
Online order collection type – it is possible to restrict the collection of points to one of the order types.
Collect via invoice scan – the app user can scan the QR code of a paper invoice, and points are collected through this.
Loyalty Pass / Collector Card Settings
With this card you can collect stamps for the articles listed in the Articles tab. 1 article = 1 stamp.
If the stamp card is full, the app user can redeem one of the articles released for collection.

Online order collection type – it is possible to restrict the collection of stamps to one of the order types.
Collect via invoice scan – the app user can scan the QR code of a paper invoice, and stamps are also collected through this.
2. Redeemable Articles
In this Manager menu item, you specify which articles can be redeemed for the collected points (of the points card).
If you want to add another article to this list, click on + Add points to article. The click opens the following dialog.
First find an article via the "Search & add article" field. After you have selected an article, it is shown in the dialog as above.
Points – with this field you specify how many points an app user must collect before they can redeem this article.

*Article data cannot always be changed; if you use an x3000, dieKasse or eh2, entering this data is locked. You must change it in the Sales Point itself.
3. Promotions
With this card you can encourage the customer to order or buy in the venue. This promotion card can be used to grant the customer free articles, discounts or other benefits.
An example: every customer can get a free Coke with their first order via the dedicated app. This is intended to boost downloads of the app.
This documentation shows you how to create such a card.
-
Log in to bessa Manager.

Top up to another card With this promotion card you can reward customers who open your app for the first time, by giving them, for example, 20 points for the loyalty pass, or the first 2 drinks on a drinks loyalty pass. Value discount With this promotion card the customer can redeem a value defined by you at your Sales Point (the Sales Point must support this) or in our ordering system. E.g. 5% discount on the invoice total. Article discount With this promotion card a discount can be granted on articles selected by the customer. Order discount With this promotion card the customer can grant a discount on certain articles for orders in the various self-ordering order types. Volume discount With this promotion card the customer can grant a discount on orders from a certain volume. E.g. 3 pizzas for the price of 2.

General Settings
We briefly show and describe the general settings of a promotion card here in this section.
In the first Details tab you can make the following settings.
Title – in this field you can define a title that is shown to the app user; if you don't want a title, write a - in the field.
Subtitle – in this field you can add a short text, which is shown centred under the title.
Description – in this field you can define a description for the promotion card; this is seen by the user when they tap the card in the app, which then flips and shows the text.
Example for the labelling.
In addition to the title and descriptions, further settings can be added, as visible in the image below.
Start date and start time – with these two fields you specify from when a promotion card is valid.
End date and end time – with these two fields you specify until when a promotion card is valid.
Active from – Active until – with these two fields you can further restrict the time during which a promotion card can be used. For example, you can define a lunch promotion card that can be redeemed from 11:00 to 13:00.
Deactivated on the following days – with this field you can deactivate the card on certain weekdays; as visible in the image above, the card cannot be used on Monday and Tuesday.
Activate only in specific venues – in our system it is possible for customer loyalty cards to be used across multiple venues simultaneously. If this is not desired, you can restrict the card to specific venues.
Card activated – with this action you can deactivate the card at short notice.
The fields described are cumulative, meaning that all fields are evaluated together for the card to be displayed in the app. Example: the date must be after the start date, before the end date, must satisfy the time restriction of the Active from / Active until fields, and must not fall on a deactivated weekday.
Design Settings
With these settings you can design the look of this card. The image below shows an example of a designed Info promotion card.

Here you can top up a specific value to a loyalty pass. In the following example, 20 points are topped up to the loyalty pass Coffee card. For more information about collector cards, go to the Loyalty Pass section.

Value Discount Settings
With this promotion card the customer can redeem a value defined by you. This can be an absolute value or a percentage. This value is deducted from the entire order. The amount intended for redemption must be defined when creating the card; it cannot be changed afterwards.
If you want a different amount, create the card a second time and control the start and end dates of the two cards via the Details tab.
Card value – this field determines the value of the promotion card; it can only be entered while the card is being created.

Lifecycle of a Customer Card
-
The card is given to the customer at the Sales Point. The customer card has a unique card number with which bessa binds the customer to this card and the customer can then collect bonuses.
-
The customer buys something and, when paying at the Sales Point, gives the employee their customer card. It is scanned and the information is sent to the bessa server. bessa then credits the customer with points or stamps, depending on the configured cards.
-
If the customer has collected enough points, they can redeem their bonuses at the Sales Point using the card. The card is scanned, the Sales Point recognises that there is a redeemable bonus.
-
The bonus is redeemed and the customer card is debited by this bonus.
Bessa can then create reports based on the customer card about the purchasing behaviour of various customers.
For more information about the Sales Point interface, please read this documentation.

Order slot settings
In the "Order slot settings" tab the settings for order slots are gathered. These settings serve to protect the restaurant from overload. An order slot has a certain size, e.g. 15 minutes, and during this time window a certain number of dishes can be ordered. If more dishes are ordered than allowed in the slot, the user is informed that they have to choose the next order slot. This ensures that not too many dishes can be ordered at once.
The various fields are:
-
Number of orders per slot: the maximum number of orders possible in a slot. When the slot is full, the next free slot is automatically suggested in the app.
-
Slot size: the duration of the slot in minutes. This can be freely chosen by the customer.
-
Time addition for the current time: this setting indicates how much time should be added to the current point in time to find the first order slot. For example, when it is 11:10 and you set a value of 20, the earliest available slot selection is > 11:30.
Pre-order settings

Select venue: here you can select the desired venue to display a summary of orders for it. This field is only displayed if you have more than one venue in your account.
The following settings are available to adjust your web shop:
-
Web Shop URL: in this field you see the URL of your web shop.
-
URL Name: via this field you can change the URL. Note that changing the URL is a potentially risky action. If you change the URL without informing your customers, they will not be able to find the web shop. All existing QR codes of the web shop become invalid.
-
Anonymous dine-in guest order: for orders of type "On premise", the queries for login and guest user are not shown.
-
Show newsletter: the newsletter is shown for all order types; it is an opt-in field. This means the user must explicitly consent before we can store the user's email address.
-
Skip app landing page: if the customer also has a whitelabel app, QR codes for web orders first lead to the download page of the whitelabel app. With this setting, this behaviour can be disabled.
-
Embed web shop as widget: here you learn how to integrate the web shop directly into your website.
-
Enable table selection: for orders on premise, the table coded in the QR code is not used. Instead, the user sees a query and must enter their table number manually. This setting is needed when the customer does not have or does not want to use table identifiers.
-
Read-only mode: with this setting, the web shop can be configured so that the user cannot place orders, but can still see the available articles.
