Starting A Guest Check; Cover Count - Panasonic 5000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

APPLICATIONS

Starting a Guest Check

Before you register the items the customer orders, you must open a guest check. When
you open a check, you are actually assigning a number to the guests you are serving. You
use this number to recall the customer's order, as often as needed, until they pay for the
meal.
When you start a new check, enter all of the basic information about this check. This
information may include:
Some of these entries can be optional for your system. If you forget a required entry, the
system reminds you, with a message, to enter the information.
Each of the New Check entries are described here. Refer to the entries you use for your
restaurant operations. A sample transaction, outlining the order of the key sequences, is
also provided.

Cover Count

When you start a new check, one of your first steps may be to record the number of
guests or covers represented on the check. In some instances, this entry is optional. If it is
required, and you forget to enter the number of guests, a message displays to remind you.
Use the following procedure before you press the New Check key.
(Make sure your server number is logged onto the system.)
1. Enter the number of guests.
2. Press the # GUEST key.
[ # of guests ]
Note: If your entry is too low, or if more guests join the party before the you close the
transaction, you can increase the count. For example, if you start a check with two
guests, and two more guests join the party, enter 4 and press # GUEST when you
recall the check.
