This feature allows customers to pre-select menu items and pay through the Now Book It booking portal. If configured, the products will then be automatically sold in SmartPOS when the booking is seated.

Now Book It - Booking Options

  • Now Book It has a feature that allows the customers to preselect products when booking online
  • They refer to this as a "Booking Option" within their booking portal
  • Depending on configuration of NBI, the customer can select one item or multiple items per person
  • After the customer has selected their options, they are then required to pay the balance through an online payment link
  • This payment will subsequently be linked to the booking
  • When the booking is seated in SmartPOS, the payment and (if configured) the products will be available on the transaction 
    • When the table is first saved after being seated in SmartPOS, the imported products will print to their designated remote printers

NBI Till Extension - Configuration 

  • If this is the initial setup of the till extension device, a detailed guide can be found here:  NowBookIt Interface - Till Extension Device Setup
  • If you need assistance with settings up new products, a detailed guide can be found here:  Creating a New Product

Device Settings

  • Do not import products - If this flag is enabled, no products will be imported to SmartPOS and sold when the booking is seated
  • Product CustomTextField - This dropdown will allow you to select the corresponding CustomTextField on a product, where the NBI product will be mapped to


Custom Text Overview

  • The Booking Options that were mentioned earlier, must be mapped to a Bepoz product
  • This allows the products to be imported in SmartPOS and sold when the booking is seated
  • We do this through the Custom Text field within the Product Settings > Custom Text Field
  • NB - It is important to understand that product size 1 is the only size supported in the mapping process


Custom Text Setup & Mapping 

  • Navigate to the Product you wish to map to NBI
  • Open the Product Settings and navigate to the Custom Info tab (if this is not displayed, you do not have the necessary operator privileges)
  • Click on Edit Custom Fields to create the required field

  • Click on the desired Custom Text Field ID and enter a relevant name e.g. "NBI Product Mapping"


  • Double click on the corresponding Values field
  • Enter the NBI product name exactly as it appears in NBI
  • In this example, we are mapping the Sapporo product that appears in the Booking Options below

.


  • Once you have entered the NBI product name
  • Click on OK to save
  • The Custom Field will now be populated with the new field, and the new value you have created


  • Follow these steps for all products that are being sold from NBI
  • NB - If a product is NOT mapped correctly and Bepoz cannot find the corresponding product, the default GST and NON-GST products that were setup in the Till Extension device will be used instead


  • When the booking is seated in SmartPOS, the corresponding products and payment will flow through to the transaction as below
