Merchant Number

Enter the Merchant Number provided by the card processing service provider.

Auth Token

Type in or paste the Auth Token provided by Shift4. This will be used to generate the Access Token below.

Generate Access Token

After configuring the UTG2 software, setting up the Interface tab and filling in your Auth Token, click this button to obtain the Shift4 access token.

EMV

This option only becomes available for external protocols. Enable this option with EMV-compliant external protocols.

Use Pre-Authorization

Enable this option to use the pre-authorization functionality. Pre-authorization is typically used in table service environments where the credit card is first pre-authorized for the amount of the check, and later finalized with a higher amount that includes tip for the server. This is also used in bar environments to manage running tabs. In fast food, drive-through or counter service environments, this option is typically disabled.

• Enable the Use Pre-Authorization option above.

• For dining room employees, enable the Print tip on EFT Receipt option, located in Point of Sale Control / Employees / Configuration / [Choose Config] / Invoice / Tax/Service. This will allow them to use the pre-authorization feature and finalize their credit card transactions to add tip.

• For fast food and pickup counter employees, disable the Print tip on EFT Receipt option, located in Point of Sale Control / Employees / Configuration / [Choose Config] / Invoice / Tax/Service. This means that these employees will not be able to use pre-authorization and will no longer need to finalize their credit card transactions.

Error Message Language

Enable the French option to display error messages in French where available.

Pre-Authorization %

This field can be used to pre-authorize an amount greater than the check total. This is useful to make sure that a credit card has enough credit to cover for the value of a check + tips. For example, if the percentage is set to 15% and the check total is $100.00, Maitre’D would request a pre-authorization for $115.00.

Maximum Overflow %

Use the Maximum Overflow percentage to verify that the finalization amount entered by employees cannot surpass a certain percentage of the total check value. For example, if this percentage is set to 20% and the check total is $100.00, Maitre’D will not let the employees finalize this transaction with an amount greater than $120.00.

Bar tab pre-auth

Enable this option to allow bartenders to pre-authorize an amount on a credit card in order to cover running bill bar tabs.

Default amount

Enter the default amount to be used for authorization when opening a bar tab with a credit card. This amount is also used as a default increment value if the total of items already ordered surpasses the starting amount. For example, if the default amount is $25.00, Maitre'D will increment the suggested amount in $25.00 slices, going from $25.00 to $50.00 and then to $75.00 and so on, as needed to cover the current amount of the running tab.

Single pre-auth

Enable this option to force the bar tab to be closed when the authorized amount of the bar tab is reached. If the customer wishes to purchase more items, a new bar tab will need to be started and the customer's credit card will need to be physically inserted at the payment terminal again. While this involves more work on the POS and additional handling of the customer's credit card, this method ensures that there is always credit available to cover the customer's purchases.

If this option is left disabled, an incremented pre-authorization will be made once the set amount is reached, without requiring the customer's credit card to be physically inserted at the payment terminal. While this avoids having to close the bar tab and opening a new one, this method introduces the possibility of getting a decline if there is not enough credit available to cover the additional amount.

Receipt

Enable this option to print the merchant copy of the EFT receipt. If this option is left disabled, the merchant copy will never be printed.

Messages

Message #1 to #5

Enter up to 5 lines of message to be printed on the EFT voucher. These message lines will print just above the signature line. They can be used to print custom messages or to print the cardholder agreement that is required by some EFT processors in the U.S.

• Shift 4

• Datacap - dsiEMVUS

• Datacap - dsiEMVClientX

Home Page

Use Default

If this option is enabled, the Maitre'D default home page for the Electronic Funds Transfer module will be used.

Address

Enter the URL of your head-office's intranet or your complete URL on the Maitre'D Databoard server that will be used instead of the default local home page for the Electronic Funds Transfer module.

User name

Enter the user name to access the Maitre'D Databoard server.

Password

Enter the password to access the Maitre'D Databoard server.

Confirm Password

Confirm the password to access the Maitre'D Databoard server.

Remote Payment Device

Remote payment devices are wireless EMV payment terminals that are equipped with a SIM card and which are able to communicate with the credit/debit acquirer via 3G/4G/LTE mobile communications networks. These devices are mostly used by delivery drivers to process card payments at the customer's doorstep. The payment is authorized "on the spot" via 3G/4G/LTE, and the information about the transaction is recorded by the payment terminal itself (Check number, purchase amount, tip amount, card brand used, etc.). Later, back at the restaurant, the information stored in the oayment terminal can be synchronized with Maitre'D so that appropriate payment information will be applied on appropriate orders.

Partial Invoice Number

Enable this option to allow employees access to checks using the last 4 digits of the check on the remote payment device. If this option is disabled, employees will have to enter the full check number instead of only the last 4 digits.

Validate Employee

Enable this option to activate employee validation on the payment terminal. With this option enabled, only the employee who was assigned the delivery order or a manager will be able to close invoices associated with this order.

Operation

Operation branch

This section contains options that will affect the general behaviour of E.F.T. processing.

POS Refresh

Enter the number of seconds the workstation will wait before making the first inquiry to the Back-Office to find out if a request has been answered. The default value is 5. With high-speed Internet connections, this value can be set as low as 3, but this will generate more network traffic as more requests will be sent from the POS workstations towards the Back-Office Server.

Number of Terminals

Enter the number of simultaneous transactions that can be handled by the Maitre’D Back-Office server.

End of Day

Enable this option to allow the End of Day even if the credit cards batch is still open. Otherwise, you will need to close the open batch before you can run the End of Day process

Operation Trace

This field is usually disabled. It is used for system debugging. If you enable this option, the Back-Office will create an EFT.LOG file in the DATA directory that will contain a trace of the transactions, sent to the modem. In addition, the modem will no longer be silent and you can hear it dial up and connect.

Name on EFT Receipt

Enable this option to print the cardholder name on the EFT transaction records.

Fast Food Wait for Confirmation

Enable this option to have employees with the Fast-Food function wait on the media type screen for the EFT response using the Datacap – DSIClientX protocol. If the transaction is declined, they can choose another form of payment without having to recall the transaction.

Order Wait for Confirmation

Enable this option to have employees with the Order function wait on the media type screen for the EFT response using Datacap – DSIClientX protocol. If the transaction is declined, they can choose another form of payment without having to recall the transaction.

Alternate Card Masking

Enable this option to partially hide the debit card number to show only the first 10 digits and mask the last 4 digits on the EFT voucher in Canada. The rest of the card account number will be replaced by 'xxxx'. This option does not affect credit cards processed with the Datacap – DSIClientX protocol.

Partial Authorization

Enable this option to facilitate the acceptance of gift cards sold by credit card issuers like Visa and MasterCard. With this option enabled, Maitre’D will first query the processor/acquirer with the card number. If the card is found to be a Visa or MasterCard gift card, the processor will return the balance left on the card. If the balance amount can’t cover the full value of the check, Maitre’D will apply that amount towards the check and request another form of payment to cover the remaining amount.

Wait for EFT Finalization

Enable this option to force workstations to wait until the response from the processor is received before processing another card on the same check.

Gratuity on EFT Receipt

Enable this option to print the total gratuity amount that was added to the check through over-tendering or gratuity options on the EFT transaction records.

Extended Void Return

Enable this option to support void return operations where the refunded card is no longer available, with select EMV processors. A "Void Return" operation consists of cancelling out a refund that was done by mistake.

Close batch with pending transactions

Enable this option to allow batch closing even if there are pending transactions in the current batch.

Close Debit Batch

Enable this option to allow to close the debit batch by sending the ID of each PIN Pad when closing the credit card batch.

Close EMV PIN Pad batch at EOD

Enable this option to automatically close the batch for all EMV PIN Pads during the End of Day process.

Batch Report

Select between detailed or summary batch reports.

External Close Batch

Enable this option to use an external application to close the EFT batch. For some host based protocol, the integrated close batch feature cannot be used. These batches must be closed by using an external application provided by the service provider.

Close Internal Batch Only

Enable this option to stop the Close Batch function from generating an error message when running the external program of some clearing houses, such as CONCORD, that do not need Maitre'D to close the batch.

• Datacap dsiEMVUS (EMV - US)

• Datacap dsiEMVClientX (EMV - Canada)

• TSYS - Genius (EMV - US)

• YesPay (EMV - UK)

Program

Type in or browse for the path and the application to be used to close the EFT batch. Use the folder icon to browse to the application folder and select the application executable.

Pay at the Table

Enable this option to activate Pay at the Table (PATT) functionality.

PATT Protocol

Select the Pay at the Table protocol to be used. Available choices are:

NOTE: FLEX and Secure Table Pay are only available with the purchase of the Enhanced EFT interface.

Log Level

Select the desired log level for the Pay at the Table interface. Available choices are:

TCP Port

Enter the TCP Port number to be used by the selected PATT protocol. Acceptable values are from 1 to 65535.

Send Invoices

This option is required for the YesPay PATT protocol for UK and Europe. This options causes Maitre'D to send invoice status information to the YesPay third-party software to inform it that an invoice is printed and available to be paid via YesPay PATT.

Get Invoice Status

This option is required for the YesPay PATT protocol for UK and Europe. This option causes Maitre'D to retrieve the invoice status from the YesPay third-party software in order to avoid modifying an invoice that is in the process of being paid with YesPay PATT.

Partial Invoice Number

Enable this option to allow employees access to checks using the last 4 digits of the check on the PATT payment terminal. If this option is disabled, employees will have to enter the full check number instead of only the last 4 digits.

NOTE: With this option enabled, entering all 6 digits of the invoice number will cause an "Invoice not found" error message on PATT payment terminals.

Validate Employee

Enable this option to activate employee validation on the PIN Pad. With this option enabled, only the employee who opened the table or a manager will be able to close invoices associated with this table.

Locking Mode

To avoid accidentally having more than one PATT payment termional accessing the same check data, Maitre'D needs to "lock" either checks or tables. Select the locking mode that best suits your operations.

Table Locking

Select Table Locking mode to lock the entire table and all the checks associated with it. With this mode, as soon as a PATT device accesses a check, all other checks associated with the same table will be locked, preventing access from other POS workstations or PATT devices. This mode should be used in fine dining establishments where only one or two checks are printed per table.

Invoice Locking

Select this mode to prevent the table locking during the payment of an invoice with PATT. This allows multiple invoices on the same table to be paid simultaneously with multiple PATT devices. This is very useful to speed up the payment process using multiple PATT devices on tables with a large number of printed checks.

Shared Folder

This is the default folder used to manage drop-files. Click the Browse button to select a different folder. This option is only used with the YesPay PATT interface for UK and Europe.

Media Type

Description

Type in a short but meaningful description for this media type. The description is printed on readings as well as on Maitre'D Back-Office reports. It is also displayed on the POS payment selection screen.

EFT: For EFT card payments, use card brand names, such as Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, etc.

Payment Type

Select from the drop-down list whether this media type is Canadian debit, Cash, Cash card, Charge, External gift certificate, Foreign currency exchange, Frequent diner, Gift certificate, Meal plan, PC-EFTPOS Pre-Auto, PC-EFTPOS Sale or other.

EFT: For EFT card payments, select the Charge option.

Payment Surplus

Select how payment surplus, also called over-tendering, is treated by Maitre'D.

• Null: This option is used for card payments in environments where tips are not accepted.

• Tip entry: This option is used for card payments where the payment surplus is to be treated as tips.

• Change: This option is meant to be used with cash and foreign currency where any payment surplus is to be calculated as change that is returned to the customer. This option can also be used with Gift Cards in certain regions where customers can claim unused balance on gift cards.

EFT: Select the Tip entry option if the establishments accepts tips, or select Null if tips are not allowed. the Change option is not allowed for EFT payments.

Identification

Room Charge

Enter the room identification to be used by the room charge interface. If posting of other payments is allowed in the room charge interface, then all the bills paid using this media will be posted to the hotel interface at the specified room identification. This posting will occur during the end of day operation. If no identification is supplied, then this media will not be sent to the hotel system.

EFT: This setting is only used if a property management system is in use.

Fiscal

Enter the payment type number to use from the Fiscal Printer "Spark" Configuration in Russia.

EFT: This setting is only used if the Russian fiscal printer is in use.

Currency

Exchange Rate

Example: To convert 5.00$ to LL8000 you can use -1 as number of decimals with a rate of 1.6 and a monetary sign of " LL ", The rate needs to be 1.6 and not 1600 since there is 3 digits difference in the number of decimals between the currencies

EFT: This option is not used with EFT card payments. Currency exchange is normally handled by the card issuing bank.

Currency Sign

Enter the characters representing the currency sign, followed by the decimal separator character. The currency sign will appear in front of all currency amounts (if you add a minus sign "-"before the currency sign, it will appear after all currency amount), and the separator will show you where the decimals begin.

Example:

USA " $. " $4.95 (with number of decimals = 2)

Other " LL " LL4950 (number of decimals = -1)

Other " FF " FF49,5 (number of decimals = 1)

With a negative number of decimals, no decimals will be used because zeroes are appended to the amount.

EFT: Configure as per customer's preference and requirements.

Nb. of Decimals

Enter the amount of decimals to appear in the currency amounts displayed or printed. If there are no decimals but instead there are a number of mandatory zeroes to appear, enter the number of mandatory zeroes as a negative value in this field.

Hide Card Number

Enable this option to mask the first digits of the card number and show only the last four digits on the voucher for Frequent Diner or Gift Cards, or no numbers at all if this is the Account Receivable payment type.

Validation

If you enable this option, the Back-Office checks if the credit card number entered agrees with certain digits that are always present in credit card account numbers. If you disable this option, the Back-Office does not validate the credit card number. Validation also allows for the card to be swiped directly at the payment screen and be automatically recognized by Maitre'D without having to manually select a card brand.

Expiration

If you enable this option, the Back-Office requests the expiration date for a credit card payment. This date has to be entered in the format MM/YY. The system will check for the validity of this date.

Debit Card

Enable this option if this media type is a debit card.

Card Validation

Custom Card

Enable this option if you are using custom cards such as a school student cards that have their own structure and pattern.

Number of Digits

Some credit card companies have credit card numbers that may vary in their total number of digits, whereas other cards have a set number of digits. Two fields should be filled in order to validate the credit card number's length. Type the credit card's appropriate number of digits in the first field then type 0 in the second field to specify that this is a fixed number of digits (zero is the default for the second field). Conversely, you will need to enter a number of digits in each field for cards that have two possible card number lengths.

Starting With

Some credit card companies have credit card numbers that may begin with different digits, whereas other cards always begin with the same digits. Four fields can be filled in order to validate the credit card number's beginning. Type the credit card's appropriate first digits in the first field then type 0 in the second field to specify that these are constant beginning digits (zero is the default for the second to fourth fields). Conversely, you will need to enter beginning digits in each field for cards that have different possible card number starts.
