POS 5.13 

Lots of Exciting New Features!

 

CALCULATED TIP PERCENTAGE

 

One of our most requested features has arrived!  Calculated tips can result in higher and more consistent tipping, and cut down on time and human error as staff close out their tables.  Receipts now have the option of displaying tip calculations for a range of percentages.  Operators will be able to decide if the suggestions should be based on the pre-tax subtotal, or the post-tax check amount.  

To learn more about how to enable Suggested Tips on a per-Terminal basis, please visit our Resource Center!

 

LOCAL PRINTING

Local Prep Tickets can now be configured to print dynamically to the printer associated with an individual terminal! Some prep tickets only need to be seen by the person who rings them in, such as wine bottles for the Sommelier, or marking chits for the serving staff. Local printers allow operators to assign a group of Menu Items one single Prep Station, but allows for dynamic prep printers! This saves the staff time, and prevents overlooked orders.

Please see this article from our Resource Center on how to configure a Prep Station for Local Printing.

 

SHOW DISCOUNT NAMES

Guest-facing receipts now have the option to show the name of a discount that has been applied! This can be enabled on a per-Terminal basis for both check-level and item-level discounts.

For detailed instructions on how to enable this feature, please see this Resource Center article.

CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS ARE LIVE FOR ALL OPERATORS!

MENU ITEM COUNTS ON ANY ITEM
Counts on all those un-pinned wine bottles are now possible!  With this update, operators will be able to use the Menu Manager feature within the POS app to place counts on low-stock or special items by searching, even ones that are not pinned to a specific Menu Section!
