Needs reviewMany desks have one person who reads Chinese or Korean, and the orders wait for that person. The ticket shows the original and an English translation side by side, so anyone on the desk can review it.
箱, 桶, 磅, 박스 and 파운드 carry the unit, and quantities can be written as words (两, 三, 十). Both are read and turned into your units.
Wrappers, sauces and seasonal items that aren’t in your price list are flagged “not in catalog” instead of quietly dropped, so the desk can add the item or call the customer.
Six items, in Chinese, with units written as characters.
Five lines are matched to item codes. The translation is kept on the ticket.
Har gow wrappers aren’t in the catalog, so the desk adds the item or removes the line.
The approved order goes to your system with your English item codes.
Unit and counting words show up in almost every order. These are the ones the matcher is built to read.
| Word | Means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 箱 · 박스 | Case or box | 豆腐三箱 = 3 cs tofu · 배추 4박스 = 4 cs napa |
| 桶 · 통 | Pail or tub | 生抽两桶 = 2 pails light soy |
| 磅 · 파운드 | Pound | 姜二十磅 = 20 lb ginger · LA갈비 60파운드 = 60 lb |
| 袋 · 봉지 | Bag | 豆芽两袋 = 2 bags bean sprouts |
| 包 · 팩 | Pack | 虾饺皮十包 = 10 packs har gow wrappers |
| 两 · 三 · 十 | Two, three, ten (Chinese counting) | 两箱 = 2 cases; 两 is used for quantities instead of 二 |
No. The English translation sits next to the original on every ticket, and each line keeps the exact phrase it came from, so anyone can check it.
No. Orders keep coming in on WeChat and KakaoTalk business accounts, text and phone, the way they do today.
They’re flagged as not in catalog, with the original phrase and a translation. The desk can add the item, or remove the line and let the customer know.
It’s built for English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean, including mixed-language messages. Ask us about others.
