Keep a group meal’s guest count separate from extra dishes
Dr. Ambedkar Government Arts College gives its address as Vyasarpadi, Chennai 600039 on its official website. The college is a local orientation reference, not a DeccanPro customer or an endorsement. Our original campus-street illustration is symbolic, not a photograph or a reproduction of its building. For a restaurant visit, send your own street, entrance and map pin, together with the group-meal menu you want to test. Demonstrations are arranged at your restaurant, not at the college.
Local reference: Dr. Ambedkar Government Arts College: official Vyasarpadi address. Use the restaurant exercises below with your own menu.
Write the meal agreement in plain language
For a supervised exercise, use a fictional fixed meal priced at Rs.150 per person for six guests. Its item subtotal is Rs.900 before configured adjustments. Write what is included and what costs extra. An additional serving plate is not automatically another paid meal; equally, an extra guest is not automatically included. Use your restaurant’s actual policy in a real demonstration rather than copying the example price or promising unlimited servings.
Enter the agreed number of meals once
Ask the demonstrator to show how six meals are represented in the supported order-entry process. Compare the saved quantity with the agreed guest count and have the cook explain the preparation instruction. Do not assume that assigning six seats to a table automatically creates six billable meals. Keep the meal quantity and any seating information separately understandable. This exercise does not claim an automatic buffet or cover-count module.
Add an extra without increasing every meal quantity
In the rehearsal, the group orders two separately charged drinks at fictional Rs.30 each. The expected item subtotal is now Rs.960: six meals at Rs.150 plus two drinks at Rs.30. Confirm that the drinks are outside the agreed meal inclusion before charging. Ask the kitchen or drinks station to identify the additional work without preparing the six meals again. Keep the original order reference visible throughout the exercise.
Handle a seventh guest arriving during service
Now a seventh guest joins and agrees to the same meal. Follow the supported order-change process to add one meal, with the required kitchen acknowledgement. The new expected item subtotal is Rs.1,110: seven meals at Rs.150 and two drinks at Rs.30. A request for another empty plate earlier in the exercise should not have already increased the count. Have a different captain read back the seven meals and two extras from the current record, without help from the person who entered them.
Check the final count before collecting payment
Ask the cashier to compare the agreed final meal count, extras and item subtotal with the running order. Discuss taxes, discounts and other configured adjustments separately; Rs.1,110 is the exercise subtotal, not a tax-inclusive quotation. If a guest leaves early, do not infer a cancellation rule from the seat becoming empty: the restaurant must decide how its meal agreement applies and use the authorised correction process. Before a Vyasarpadi demo, bring an anonymised group order, the written inclusion policy and the devices used by your captain and kitchen.
Prepare your Vyasarpadi demo
- Meal inclusions and extra charges agreed
- Six original meals give a fictional Rs.900 subtotal
- Two extra drinks increase the subtotal to Rs.960
- One arriving guest adds one meal, not a second full group order
- Seven meals and two drinks give Rs.1,110 before adjustments
- Extra plate requests distinguished from extra meals
- Incoming captain and cashier can explain the final count
