Cooking -- beYou Restaurant Serving System

The beYou Restaurant Serving System will allow those who enjoy using the cooking profession to not only serve food to their family, friends, visitors, or patrons (if you own an eatery) but to also allow for others (with access) to serve others as well from prepared meals and snacks in their (the owner's) assets.

**IMPORTANT**: You do not need the Restaurant Serving System in order to run or open a restaurant. This is a special system for those who want to control how their food is served.

## **Restrictions/Requirements**

* No level requirement.
* The owner of the system chooses the access level for use.
* Owner of system must have food in your assets.
* Owner of system must have an active/up-to-date food-serving license.
* Must have completed the food serving training book.
* The owner must own all pieces including dining furniture used for eating.
* The system is copyable. The training book & temporary license are not copyable.

Note: This is NOT a required device to eat. You only need this if you prefer to serve the food yourself (or want someone to do the serving from your assets for you).

**IMPORTANT**: If using the system to run a restaurant, the waiters/servers are not required to have any of the above. You as the chef/restaurant owner is responsible for making sure you grant access to everything your staff is serving in your restaurant.

## **Included Items**

The following items are included in our beYou Restaurant Serving System:

* Food Service Training - Part 1 (*the Skill Training Desk is required*)
* Temporary 10-Day Food Service License
* beYou Meal Serving Cart
* beYou Restaurant Chair
* beYou Restaurant Chair Updater - No Placemat
* beYou Restaurant Chair Updater - With Placemat

## **Item Instructions**

### **beYou Meal Serving Cart**

The beYou meal serving cart is the heart of the beYou Restaurant Serving System. Without it, you can not use this system at all.

The copiable meal cart allows you or your selected grouping of people (aka your WaitStaff) to serve meals to others from your assets with multiple choices.

#### **Setting Up**

The owner of the serving system will be the one to set up the cart. To do so, click the cart to reveal the following options:

* ALL - sets use & access to all people.
* OWNER - this is the default. If at any point you changed access to anything other than owner, you can click this to set the cart back to owner only.
* GROUP - sets use & access to a specific group. You and the persons in the group will need to wear your group tag in order to use the cart.
* Rename - this adds a name to the end of the cart. Click this choice, type the new name into the box, and hit submit. Example: changes 'beYou Meal Serving Cart' to 'Meal Serving Cart - Yummies'
* Empty Cart - removes any loaded platters from the cart.
* Load Cart - turns the ability to load the cart on and off.

#### **Renaming Cart**

If you plan on using multiple carts to load different types of food, the renaming feature will allow you to do this.  This is an owner-only function and you can not be sitting on the cart to rename it.
To rename:

1. Click the cart.
2. Choose rename.
3. Type the new name
4. Choose submit.

When you rename your cart, your cart will add your new name to the end of the cart’s name. Be aware that SL’s object name has a 65 character limit. So you want to keep your names short and recognizable.

#### **Loading Food**

To load a platter (or several platters) into the cart, the owner must do the following:

1. Get a food loader from either the Plated Meal Packager (for meals & sides) or the Dessert Packager (for user-made desserts). Your waitstaff labels will carry the 'Cart Loader -' prefix.
2. Rez the Cart.
3. Click it.
4. Click Load Cart to enable loading.
5. Click the access level you want.
6. Click the Cart Loader. The cart loader will move above the cart it is updating and you'll see the following message as it updates:
	* [14:21] Cart Loader - Basic Zucchini Bread LG: (1) update clients found.
	* [14:21] Cart Loader - Basic Zucchini Bread LG: 43060 bytes of free memory
	* [14:21] beYou Meal Serving Cart: Adding item: WaitStaff - Basic Zucchini Bread LG
	* [14:21] beYou Meal Serving Cart: This has 1 objects.
	* After the platter is loaded, the cart loader will disappear.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for every platter you wish to load into your serving cart.

**IMPORTANT**: Platters will load into whichever serving carts have loading enabled.  If you would like for only certain carts to carry certain items, make sure that you keep loading disabled for the carts you want unaffected.

**IMPORTANT (2)**: If you would like multiple carts to carry the same item, make sure you enable loading on each of them before clicking the Cart loader so that it will load simultaneously.

#### **Serving Food**

**IMPORTANT**: If using the system to run a restaurant, the waiters/servers are not required to have any of the above. You as the chef/restaurant owner is responsible for making sure you grant access to everything your staff is serving in your restaurant.

**REMINDER**: If the serving cart is set to group, you and your waitsaff must also have your group tag activated to use the cart or you will be unseated.

The serving cart has animations included that, when seated, will allow you to walk around 'driving' the cart as you walk from table to table or seat to seat.

**NOTE**: If there is food on the cart, then you will not be able to drive/move the cart.

To serve the food, you or your waitstaff **must** be sitting on the cart. Once seated on the cart:

1. Click the cart.
2. Choose the platter you wish to serve. Once selected a silver serving platter will appear on the cart.
3. Click the silver platter and choose from the following options:
	* Delete - deletes the platter from the cart.
	* Serve - use to serve as you would ordinarily (click the plate you're serving after clicking this option).
	* Check Uses - check how many servings are available in the owner's assets.
	* Remove Food - removes all visible food from the diners' plates (use this option very carefully).
4. Once you click serve, click the plate you're serving.
5. If you are serving a platter that has sides, click the platter and choose delete. Then repeat steps 2-4 until you are finished serving the meal.

Once you're done serving the meal (or meals), you can either wait for the platter to disappear on its own or you can choose 'delete' and it will clear the platter in order for you to move on to the next guest's plates (or return to whence you came).

## Getting Licensed

Before you will be able to use any of the included equipment, you will need to first complete your Food Service Training Book, then register for your Food Service License with a beYou Lawyer.

### License Requirements

* Must have the restaurant serving system
* Must have successfully completed the Food Service Training - Part 1 book (included with system)

### Food Service Training - Part 1

To complete the Food Service Training - Part 1 Book, you need a beYou Skill Training Desk.  This book is included with the Serving System ONLY.  The beYou Skill Training Desk is located on the wall (looks like a poster ad) in City Hall near the other Training Books and Legal Forms. For a recap of how to load books & use them on the training desk, visit the User Instructions section of the Training Book page. The Food Service Training book gives 10 Logic Skill points plus generic points for correctly answered chapter questions. Once you complete this book, you can not complete the book again.

Once you complete your training, you will need to see a lawyer to get your 3-month Food Serving License. You can find a lawyer by visiting the ad boards at the main beYou Sim or by doing a Profession Search on the main beYou website.

#### Passing The Training

To successfully complete this book, you must get 7 out of 10 answers (or higher) correct. In the event that you do not, you will need to log into the beYou website, visit your profile page and select the Skill Training tab at the bottom. Select the "Food Service Training - Part 1" in the table. It will automatically pop up a reset confirmation. Click "Reset" and then you can re-take those chapters again that were not answered correctly.

### Temporary 10-Day Food Service License

The Temporary 10-Day Food Service License will allow you to use the system while you work on completing your food training book.  Do NOT load this license until you are ready to use it or you will not be able to use the system if you haven’t completed your training.

### Obtaining 3-Month License

Each food service license will only run for 3-months at a time, meaning you will have to renew.

Once you complete your training, you will need to see a lawyer to get your 3-month Food Serving License. You can find a lawyer by visiting the ad boards at the main beYou Sim or by doing a Profession Search on the main beYou website.

**IMPORTANT**: If you are also a lawyer, you can not process your own food license for your restaurant. See Food Service Licensing for more information.

Once the form has been submitted by your lawyer, you will need to go to your family tab (on your beYou profile page) and confirm the application process. Unless your application is denied, food service applications take approx. 5 days to be fully processed.

After you've applied and your license has been processed, you will receive a message stating that beYou has given you a legal document. Login to the website and you will see a gift box next to account options. Click that to receive your license.

#### Setting Up Your License

Once you have your license, you may want to rez it for display. To do that:

* Rezz the license.
* Click it.

You will see the following message in a pop-up: This certificate requires setup. Please enter the fulfillment code to complete the setup. The fullfillment code can be obtained through your lawyer or you can find it on your family page www.beyouworld.com/me by scrolling down to on your profile and click on the fulfillment code icons under my family. It will appear on the list. Copy the fulfillment code and paste it into the window.

Once your license is officially set up, you can access the following menu by clicking the license again:

1. View - View your license message.
2. Reset Code - Reset your license
3. Icon - Change the hover icon
4. Hover - Enable/Disable hover text
5. Close - Close the menu.

## beYou Restaurant Chair

**NOTE**: you must have experience with editing/modifying objects in Second Life™ to modify and use this set.

**IMPORTANT**: DO NOT click and drag these Chair Prims to make new copies. If you do, the copies will reset and delete them.

Like the Obscure Kitchen furniture, the beYou Restaurant Chair is a semi-transparent prim that you can use with any non-beYou furniture to turn it into a seat for your restaurant.

To use this seat, you will rez the prim and align it with your chair.  You will need to edit the chair to position it and then turn it in the right direction before using it.

Once you have your seat placed, you will need to make the guide prims invisible for each to not have the chair prim be visible.

### Chair Menu Options

The following options are available once you’ve sat on the chair prim:

* Sits - choose a variety of sits in the chair
* Clear All - this will remove all items from in front of your place setting
* Rez Menu - this will open up your place setting options
	+ Adult\* - allows you to rez options for adults
		- Setting - will rez your full placemat setting (including utensils). Do not use this to re-rez a placemat if you’re already eating; use utensils.
		- Utensils - will re-rez just the utensils for you (use this option if you’re having issues with utensils disappearing or need to re-rez just the utensils
	+ Child\* - allows you to rez options for children
		- Setting - will rez your full placemat setting (including utensils). Do not use this to re-rez a placemat if you’re already eating; use utensils.
		- Utensils - will re-rez just the utensils for you (use this option if you’re having issues with utensils disappearing or need to re-rez just the utensils
* [ADJUST] - allows users to adjust their personal settings or the owner to use owner-only options
* [ALPHA] - this owner-only option will allow you to turn your seat invisible. Simply click and the alpha prim will disappear.
* [POSE] - allows you to adjust your pose settings.

Restaurant chairs will give energy over time to the person sitting on the chair.

### Chair Updaters

This package comes with two different chair updaters which can be used to update the appearance of the restaurant chair included in this serving system ONLY.

* beYou Restaurant Chair Updater - No Placemat: updates the place setting to only rez your plate and utensils without a placemat
* beYou Restaurant Chair Updater - With Placemat: updates the place setting to only rez your plate and utensils with a placemat (aka putting it back to default placemat settings)

To update pre-existing beYou Dining Rooms, you will need to use the beYou Table Add-Ons found in the same vendor as the restaurant serving system at beYou.

## **beYou Table Add-Ons**

Even though this system comes with a copyable beYou Restaurant chair, you may wish to use pre-existing beYou dining room suites for your dining.

To do so, you will need to purchase one of our Add-On Table Enablers.  The following Table Enablers are available in the same vendor at the main beYou sim as the Restaurant Serving System.

* Annex Court & Annex District 4, 6, and 8 Person Seating
* Argyle Bistro Rd 2 & 4 Person Seating
* Arkham 2, 4, 6, and 8 Person Seating
* Atlantica Rd 2 & 4 Person Seating
* Atlantica Sq 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 Person Seating
* Bohemia 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 Person Seating
* Gothika 4 & 6 Person Seating

* Sonata Rd 2, 4, and 6 Person Seating
* Sonata Sq 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 Person Seating
* Wedgewood 2, 4, 6, and 8 Person Seating

To use a Table Only Add-On:

1. Buy the corresponding Table Enabler to your dining table.
2. Rezz the Table Enabler near the table you want to update.
3. Click it.
4. Your table will be updated and the enabler will disappear. To update another table with the same enabler, rez another enabler from your inventory.

**IMPORTANT**: Once you convert a dining room set into a Restaurant table, you will no longer be able to serve regular platters to your place settings. You will need to rez a new version of the table for personal service.

## beYou Adboards

If you decide that you wish to use this system to run a beYou Restaurant, it is highly advised that you also buy adspace via the beYou Ad Service so that when people are looking for somewhere to eat beYou food, they can find your restaurant via the adboards at the beYou Sim. To learn more, visit beYou Ad Service.

## **Reminders**

* The Cart has access settings for who can sit and use it - ALL, Group, Owner only.
* The Cart will automatically adjust in size for the Avatar seated on it.
* The Cart has a Load Cart button to be clicked BEFORE being able to accept platters. If you wish to load a specific cart with a platter please disable all other rezzed carts for loading except the one you wish to load.
* Only the person seated on the Cart can serve from the platters that Cart rezzes.
* If you have a platter rezzed on the Cart to serve from, you must use it or delete it to be able to rez another one.
* Clicking Check uses on a platter will update the platter description with the current amount of uses from the Owner's account.
* The person sitting on the cart can not serve/fix a plate for themselves unless they use a separate personal placemat & regular serving platter (not restaurant serving system).
