      t_text: <p>Jump Screens redirect users to the desired location whenever they click on certain menu items or actions. If the order is already being processed, Jump Screens help staff get directly to the next step in the order process, such as selecting <a href="https://plumpos.com/glossary/modifiers.html">modifiers</a>, add-ons, or preparation options.</p><p>An example of Jump Screens is ordering an item from the menu with customization options. By following this Jump Screen process, customers can make their choices efficiently.</p><h2>How Jump Screens Work in a Restaurant?</h2><p>When an employee clicks a customizable menu item, the POS screen automatically switches to a screen that lists all relevant options, so you no longer have to hunt for modifiers or related products on your own.</p>For example, if a server chooses a pizza from the POS menu, the Jump Screen might pop up with options like-<ul><li>Type of crust</li><li>Pizza size</li><li>Toppings</li><li>Extra cheese or sauces</li></ul><p>When all selections are complete, the <a href="https://plumpos.com/">POS system</a> returns to the main order screen, with the customized item now on the check. Jump screens increase order accuracy, <a href="https://plumpos.com/glossary/speed-of-service.html">speed up service</a>, and simplify the POS user interface for employees.</p>
