Table Service Restaurant Operations

Overview

The SAM4s ER-285M can be used to add items or receive payments on guest checks using a
manual previous balance, hard check, or soft check system. (Note that you must select hard
or soft check posting in memory allocation programming. The default selection is soft.)
Note: If you wish to print guest check transactions on a slip or a pre-printed guest
check, an optional slip printer must be connected. See your SAM4s dealer for more
information.

•
If manual previous balance is selected, the check balance is not saved in memory
and is input manually by the operator (use the PBAL 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. (The maximum size of the soft check is set in memory allocation
programming.) When a soft check system is used, the receipt can be used to print
the final check that is presented to the customer for payment.
Consolidation of like items can be selected for guest check printing. For
example, if three rounds of drinks are served, the check will print "3 TAP
BEER" rather than "1 TAP BEER" three times. (See option #20 in "Print
Option Programming" on page 143.)
