Setting Working Mode
Restaurant mode - the default
The TS4240 includes specific features that make it easy to run your
restaurant, including:
• Table tracking and floating guest checks. This lets you support up to 50
tables and up to 40 server staff, as well as transferring tables, closing
tables and much more.
• Up to 240 of the 3,000 available PLUs can be setup using direct keys.
Direct PLUs let you program an item, such as Porterhouse Steak, and
assign it a price. When the server staff presses the Porterhouse Steak key,
a Porterhouse Steak with the correct price is registered.
• One remote kitchen or bar printer. This lets you include a printer in the
kitchen so the cooking staff can print orders.

identification and verify age requirements for certain orders, such as
alcohol. You can specify up to 2 different ages.
• Happy Hour settings. This lets you assign one of the three price levels for
PLUs during specified times each day. Then, during that Happy Hour, a
discounted price can be in effect. You can also use this for different prices
on the same items on a lunch menu and a dinner menu.
