Age Verification   

Purpose

The Age Verification process is used to determine if a customer is old enough to order pre-defined Menu Items. Age Verification approval is required when the user orders a Menu Item defined in the Age Verification Menu Item Setup. A customer’s government issued ID card can be scanned to determine if the customer meets the minimum age requirement to purchase items that require Age Verification. The user may also manually input the birth date of the customer if the ID card does not scan.

 

The following procedures are listed below:

Procedure to Enable Age Verification, Procedure to Use Age Verification in Focus Order Entry, Procedure to Bypass Age Verification and Procedure to Manually Enter an Age to Verify.

 

 

Procedure to Enable Age Verification

Enable the “Verify Age” option located in Locations > Locations > Age Verification > Verify Age for each of the desired Locations.

Select the Menu Item Filter to use with Age Verification. Create a new Menu Item Filter if necessary.

Enter the Age requirement.

Enable the Job Right ‘Checks – Age Verification (Approve)’ for the appropriate Jobs to bypass the age verification process when necessary (i.e., customer’s ID Card will not scan correctly).

Create a Menu Item named ‘Age Verify’. Note: The Guest Check Name must be ‘Age Verify’.

Create a Package that has the following commands: Menu Item > Age Verify and Command > Verify Age (see Figure av.1.1 Package Setup).
