Workstation Overview

Table Color:

The Table Color option from the Workstation menu allows to program colors for tables displayed on the Open Table Verification screen at the workstation. Each table color represents a different time period that you set up with this option. If a table has remained open for the set time period, the table displays in a certain color. The colors are mainly for reference purposes so employees are able to determine if tables are still open.

Market Segments:

The Market Segment option from the Workstation menu allows to divide your sales into a maximum of 100 segments that are useful in gathering customer statistics.

Market segment meters can be created to determine how many couples, senior citizens, families, and police officers are eating in your restaurant.

Redirection Table:

The Redirection Table option from the Workstation menu allows to set up printer routers by mode or by revenue centers. You can build up to 30 different Redirection Tables.

The Redirection table allows the workstation to link a logical printer (redirect the printout) to a shared printer. If the Redirection table option is enabled in the View/Options, you may select the redirection table to use in each workstation record. If you have enabled the Redirection Table by Revenue Center option, the Redirection Tables will work by Revenue Centers instead of Modes.

Printer Type:

The Printer Type option allows to define the printer you are using with the workstations. You may define your own printer if it is not listed in the printer options. If you define your own printer, you will need to find special codes listed in your printer manual to activate each printer function.

Shared Printer:

The Shared Printer option allows to set up the connection of your shared printers from the Back-Office. This option affects directly the redirection table and printer communication. Therefore, be careful when changing the shared printer setting.

Logical Printer:

The Logical printer option from the Workstation menu allows to program logical printers for different locations in the restaurant. Logical printers are conceptual (not shared physical) printers who you use to program revenue centers. For example, you can program different logical printers for Grill, Cold Table, and Dessert even if only one shared printer exists at the workstation. The Back-Office separates all orders by logical printer and prints different coupons on the shared printer. You also may use logical printers to distribute the orders to different locations. For example: There are two bars (Dining and Lounge), each with a shared printer. In a non-peak period, the Dining Bar is closed. Workstations set to logical printer 'Bar' have orders which go to either the dining or lounge bar shared printer during peak times, and redirect to the lounge bar shared printer during non-peak times. The Redirection Table option has fields used to program logical printers to the shared printer of your choice

Options:

The Options/Workstation option from the Workstation menu allows to set up specific functions for each workstation.
