74 • Operations
The CHECK # key is used to begin a new, or access an existing
balance (hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.)
Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a fixed
length of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned
automatically will begin with #1.
Existing checks are accessed by entering the check track number and
pressing the CHECK# key. In a drive thru system, simply pressing
the PBAL key will recall the oldest open balance (lowest check track
#).
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The
entry of a guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or
for all transactions.
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The P/BAL key
will take the recall function if the drive thru feature is enabled in
CHECK # key programming.
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking
transactions. (If you are using a hard check system, you must program
the SERVICE key for the port where the slip printer is connected.)
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check
transactions, or for all transactions. If you are tracking guest check
balances, the balance can be recalled either by entering the check
number or the table number.
Use to print a guest check. The check can be printed on an optional
(RS-232C) printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The PRINT
CHECK key can be set to automatically service the check.
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before
payment.
The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount.
If programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether
the percentage is calculated on the net (taxable = no) amount, or the
amount after taxes.
