The Split Check function provides another method of breaking down
249
checks for payment. Note that this method works best when check
numbers are not automatically assigned. Many programmers/installers
will use the table number as the check number, and in this situation the
feature works quite well.
Place a "Split Check" key on the screen. Recall a check (table). Select
the item you wish to place on a new check by touching the item on the
display, then touching [Split Check]. Note that an asterisk (*) now
displays next to the item. Continue to mark additional items to be
assigned to a different check as necessary. Touch [Store Check]. The
prompt will ask you to enter the number of the check you wish the
designated items to be assigned to. Enter the check (table) number and
touch OK. The original check with be stored automatically and the new
check with the split items is open for storing or payment.
If you wish to use the split check feature in applications where checks
are automatically assigned, you must first open and store a new check.
Make note of the check number. Then open the check from which you
wish to split items from. Identify the items using the [Split Check] key
as described above. Then when prompted to enter the number of the
check where the selected items are to be assigned, enter the number of
the new check you previously created.
250 Use to type a name or message that will be associated with a soft check.
Touch the ALPHA TEXT key anytime after a check has been opened,
then type a message (up to 15 characters) using the alpha keyboard
overlay and touch OK. Multiple message lines can be entered. The
message is saved and printed/displayed with the order. A system option
controls whether the message is printed on the guest check.
The standard recall check key allows a check to be opened if it does not
251-
already exist. This is excellent in hospitality tracking, however for
254
account management credit may not so readily be given. Therefore
when this button is programmed accounts are not opened automatically.
A warning will indicate an account does not exist if an attempt is made
to open using the recall check key. The new check button is used to
open new accounts. The programmability for this key is automatically
picked up from the status of the Recall check key.
256 This allows the pre-programmed price of an item to be changed though
the sequence: [PRICE CHANGE] [PLU] [PRICE] [PRICE CHANGE].
The PLU flag "ALLOW PRICE CHANGE" controls this function.
268 Moves the current screen (n) to the previous screen (n-1).
269 Moves the current screen (n) to the next screen (n+1).
272- Use for quick cash tender keys instead of Macro keys. Functions are
280 available in v1.00s or later. Amount of tender is programmable.
