Running Tabs or Guest Checks
Overview
The
SPS-500
can employ a manual previous balance, hard check, or soft check system. If manual previous
balance is selected, the check balance is not saved in memory and is input manually by the operator (use the
manual previous balance key). If a hard check system is selected, only the previous balance is maintained in
memory. If a soft check system is selected, the check detail is kept in memory until the check is paid. (After
a check is paid, check detail is available only through the
PAID RECALL
function, if it is implemented, or
the closed check file, if it is implemented.)
For hard or soft check operations, the following tracking options are available:
1.
Tracking by manually entering the check number. (The number of digits in the check number may be
set from 0-10, with zero meaning no fixed length.) Table number entry may be required.
2.
Tracking by automatically assigning a check number. Starting check numbers can be set for each
register in the system.
3.
Tracking by Table Number, where a check number is also assigned. Multiple checks may be
assigned at the same table.
In cases 1 & 3 above both a check # and a table # are connected to a balance. The balance can be recalled
either by the check number, or by the table number. (If there are multiple checks at the same table, an attempt
to recall by table number will result in a screen listing the open checks at the table. The operator may then
select one of the checks to open.)
Multiple Tracking Files
The
SPS-500
allows up to four separate tracking files. This allows you to set up different files for guest
check/table tracking, phone order tracking, drive-thru tracking for multiple windows, delivery order tracking
or whatever your application requires. The number of tracking files and the number of checks for each file
are defined in memory allocation. The method of tracking you select (hard/soft) applies to all tracking files.
Because there are four possible tracking files, there are separate sets of keys for each of the following
functions:
RECALL CHECK (1-4)
STORE CHECK (1-4)
TABLE (1-4)
LIST CHECK (1-4)
TRANSFER CHECK (1-4)
Note that the tracking file number (1-4) is displayed on the screen in situations when checks are listed (i.e.
checks with held items, multiple checks on the same table, the List Check screen and the Transfer Check
screen.)
# Of Guests
Entry is optional and is controlled by an option on the Recall Check key program. The number of guests may
be required on all transactions or only on tracking transactions.
