USING THIS MANUAL

Using this Manual
This manual is provided as an aid to everyone who operates the 5000 Series workstations,
including managers, servers, bartenders, and cashiers. You should read this manual
before operating your 5000 Series System, and then use it as a reference when you have a
question about a particular operation.
The features and procedures covered in this manual are standard to all 5000 Systems.
Part of the power of this system is its flexibility. Your Panasonic representative will have
programmed your system with features and functions that most closely fit your
restaurant operations. As a result, you may not need all of the features described in this
document, or you may use some of them in a manner that differs from the explanations
here.
There are eight sections in this manual:
Section 1, System Overview, provides general information about the hardware and
software features of your Panasonic 5000 system.
Section 2, Operator Procedures, explains the standard workstation operations, on a
key-by-key basis. The key explanations are organized in the order in which they are most
frequently used.
Section 3, Applications, covers the basic steps you follow to register a transaction, from
start to finish. It includes the procedures for opening, servicing, recalling, and paying a
guest check.
Section 4, Manager Operations, covers the operations that are always performed in the
MGR keylock mode. These operations include Manager Override, Daily (X1 Mode)
Programs, Accounting functions such as R/A and Paid-Out, and Restaurant Reports.
Section 5, Manager Programs, describes the programs that are available at restaurant
level, as well as the procedures you need to follow for the programs.
Section 6, Worksheets, provides worksheets you can use to plan your program changes.
These worksheets are also a good source of information for the key sequences you will
follow within each of the programs.
Within the procedural instructions, keys you press are indicated in UPPER CASE letters.
Printed information, such as reports and receipts, and your screen data appears in a
special typeface.
