Buffet
This option is used in family dining establishments where buffets are common. Servers whose function is Hostess control the buffets. That function allows the hostess, at any time, to view the number of buffets served, currently being served, etc. The financial report of the waiter will also indicate the number of buffets assigned by the hostess, the number of buffets ordered, and the difference if there is any. The buffet names are defined in the P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Buffets section and you are allowed to have up to 10 different buffets. If you are not using the buffet option, select Undefined.
PLU Number
The PLU (Price Look Up) number in the sales items file can have two different functions.
It can be used to associate a different number from the one given by the system automatically (that's the ITEM # that you see in the top left corner of your screen when you program the item). This PLU number will appear in the ASCII export file that could be sent to a corporate office to match their existing PLU's. To use this option the "Use PLU number" field in System Configuration / View / Options must be enabled.
You can use the PLU number to track certain sales items across different revenue centers. For example, you might sell coffee in three different revenue centers but at the end of the week, you might want to know your total sales for this item. You will need to create a PLU for your coffee and attach it to the different coffee sales item. PLU numbers are defined under the P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / PLU section. If you are not using this option, select Undefined.
Bar Code Id
Enter the bar code value that corresponds to this item. A workstation equipped with a bar code reader will be able to take orders using the bar code.
External Code
This code is used to keep the item match constant between the Maitre'D database and an external application, such as a kiosk or web ordering system, after the Main ID is changed by a Broadcast from the Corporate Office.

Variable List
Choose in the drop-down menu the Variable List to display when the Substitution or Upsize button are touched on the Point Of Sales.
NOTE: With the Substitution button, the Variable List is displayed as a single button, in addition to individual items associated with other Upsizes. For example, you can include all possibilities in the Variable List, and the most popular items as individual Upsizes. However, if the only Upsize linked to this item is the Variable List, the Substitution button will display the list right away.
Counter
Countdown
Enable this option to link the quantity entered in the Value field below to the availability of each sales item.
NOTE: This avoids the use of Sales Units to countdown sales items, thus keeping Sales Units for Keeping Count of Items Used or Permanent Meters.
Value
Enter the quantity of this item currently available. This value shows besides the item description on the Order Screen, just as the decreasing permanent meter used to.
NOTE: The Countdown option above must also be enabled.
Reset At End Of Day
Enable this field to reset the quantity entered in the Value field above to zero (0) for this sales item during the End Of Day process.
Sales Unit 1 to Sales Unit 10
The Sales Units can have 2 different functions in the Maitre'D system. They can be used to:
1. Keep count of items used. (Ex: number of pieces of chicken in a bucket)
2. Be compared to an electronic bar system meter (for bar employees)
In both cases, you will need to program your sales unit first (refer to the Sales Units section). Select the appropriate sales unit to be linked to this sales item. You can program up to ten different sales unit counters per sales item.
Multiplier
You can use a multiplier for your sales unit counter. For example, if you want to track the pieces sold in a bucket of chicken that contains 9 pieces (such as 3 breasts, 3 legs and 3 wings), you will have to create 3 sales units called breast, leg and wing. Each one of those 3 counters will get a value of 3 in the multiplier field.
