Aloha POS

Main Screen Message

Select Maintenance > Messaging > Main Screen Message to access this function.

Use the Main Screen Message function to display a message on the Front-of-House (FOH) login screen. If one is attached, the message can also appear on a pole display. The first and second messages defined in the Main Screen Message function appear, by default, on the left and right sides of the order entry terminal login screen; however, you can also schedule a message to appear using an event. To schedule a message to appear, select Maintenance > System Settings > Event Schedule and use the following event types, as necessary:

  • Set Left Message
  • Set Right Message

Main Screen Message quick tips

  • There are eight lines available for message text.
  • Each line has a maximum of 20 characters.
  • By default, message ID 01 appears on the left side of the FOH terminal and message ID 02 appears on the right. You must create an event to display any other messages.
  • When you create a message for a pole display, leave a blank line between the lines of text so the message scrolls across the screen with a pausing effect, making the message easier for the customer to read. The main screen message always appears on top; however, unlike other message types in the Aloha POS system, you cannot target main screen messages to different areas of the restaurant, or to different job codes.

Reference: Refer to Events Schedule for more information regarding using an event to schedule a message to appear.

Message tab

Use the Message tab to define basic information about the message, as well as the message text itself.

Group Bar: Settings

Name — Identifies the main screen message.

Display on pole — Enables the main screen message to appear on a pole display, if one is attached to the FOH terminal. The main screen message continues to appear on the order entry terminal, as before.

Group Bar: POS login screen message

Line 1 through Line 8 — Specifies the text to appear on the main screen of the order entry terminal or pole display. The entry in the first line serves as the identification name for the message. Use the additional lines for typing the message as you want it to appear on the main screen or pole display. Type a maximum of 20 characters per line.
