Daily Specials Faxing Instructions     Printable Copy

Everything you will need to know is on this one page. There are only 2 steps you need to take to get your Faxes ready for us to send for you.

 

1. Add your menu items

2. Then enter them in the day of the week you want them sent. 

Before reading these instructions, go to the Products Page and just look at the information on the page. Then go to the Daily Specials Page and look at that page. Just take a look. Don't do anything. Then come back here and read these simple instructions.

Let's begin!

Step 1.
Go to the "Products" Page.
You will see a long list of items we have accumulated that are standard to most Pizzerias, Delis, Sandwich and Bagel stores.

To use an "Existing Product" in the Library:
You can use those items by simply clicking "Edit". The item information will appear in the top of the page in the Product Entry/Edit boxes. Make your changes and then select to "Activate" that product. Select "Update" and your Product is ready for you to display in your Fax.

Note: The first time you use the system, you will see all the items in the Library list. Then when you return to the system to add more items, you will have to click the "Show inactive products" button for them to appear again. Your new items, you added, will always be visible.


To add a new Product:
Click the "Product" button.
Enter the name of the Product in the "Product Name" box. Be sure to put the price next to the item, not in the Price box. That box is for our online ordering system.

Then enter the description of the Product.
Do not worry about the font style or size, we will set that when we know how many products you wish to offer everyday.

After entering the Product information, click "Add Product" and the new Product you created will appear in the library list below.

Note: If you are Editing a Product, or have entered information in the Product Name and Description boxes, and do not wish to use it, click the Product button and it will allow you to start over.


Step 2
Go to the Daily Specials page.
You will see a table with 28 days, designating 7 days a week for 4 weeks. You can create your menus the same day, the day before, the week before, or even for an entire month in advance. And of course you can return to the "Calendar" and change the menus in any day, at anytime!

Select a day of the week you would like to work with.
Note: Your Calendar does not begin with the first day of the month, find the day you want to use. From that point on, you will see the days flow in order.

Look in the "Menu" column (3rd from the right), click "Create Menu".
You will see all of your "Active" products displayed.... there they are!!!

Click "Add" and you will see your selection jump to the table above. Add the number of items you would like to display everyday. Click Save and they will appear in your Daily Specials Fax Page... SIMPLE!

There are other "Tools" you can use:
Message Box
You will notice an empty box/area above the Items list. You can add simple text messages. Add your "Soups of the Day", a holiday message, whatever you like.

Fax Preview
This is where you get to review your Fax Page before it is sent out. When you begin creating your menus, we have to work together to set the Text Size to be sure all of your items fit nicely on the page. You can display any number of items you like, from 5-12. We will make them fit.

We suggest, you review your pages with the Fax Preview for the first week you are using the system. We will need to know if your items fit correctly, based on the Descriptions. The Descriptions can vary and we may need to make a few adjustment until we get it looking good for you.

You can print out the Fax Preview. Some stores print them daily, or even for the entire week. They use them as reference for the staff, so everyone knows what each day's specials are.

You can also display the page in a plastic holder you can purchase at Staple and leave it on the counter to show your customers "Today's Specials".

Tomorrows Specials
We have owners who have us control their entire menu/calendar system. And we have some users who set up their menus for the month and need to know what the specials will be for the "Next Day", and they don't have a computer at their store.

We can send you "Tomorrow's Specials" by email or fax. Just give us a fax number and email address and you will receive your next days menus.

______________________________

That is all you will need to know to use our Daily Specials Faxing System. We will send your faxes out during the night, or at a specified time, if you create your menus on the same day as you send them. 8-9-10 am for example.

Don't hesitate to call us when you are learning the system. We can walk you through it in 10 minutes if you need help.
