This button will display the list of open and printed checks of this employee. The server can access any of those checks by touching its button. If this option is disabled, the close key is only available from the Order entry screen.

Bar Interface

Section

Set the section where this employee's transaction will be reported. Each order by this employee will be reported in the programmed section, regardless on which workstation the order is placed.

Key

If you're using an Azbar system, you can set up the employee key number that the employee will use in that system, so that when the employee pours a drink from the Bar unit, the Azbar system will be able to send the employee key number used to the Back-Office. When the employee orders a drink in Maitre'D, the key number programmed in Azbar will be used to track the number of orders and pours.

Operator

Enable this option to allow the employee to pour drinks.

Employee Report

Open Tables

If you enable this option, the server can print their financial report even though he/she has open tables or checks. A list of all the open tables or checks will print at the end of the report. Otherwise, the server will have to close all open tables or checks before printing the report.

Item Report

When this option is enabled, items sold by an employee will be compiled in the daily sales report. If the option is disabled however, the item sold by the employee will not be compiled (Item by server report).

Sales Unit Report

When this option is enabled, the sales unit (counter) will appear in the daily sales report of a given employee. If this option is disabled however, the sales unit (counter) will not appear in the daily sales report of the employee (Sales units by server report).

Bar Interface Report

When this option is enabled, the bar interface report becomes available to the server. This report will give you the difference between poured and sold quantities.

Employee Function 1 to 5

Key

Type in the key description that you want your employee to see after entering their POS employee number. For example, TABLE # for a table service employee.

Function

There are 12 employee functions available, and each employee can have a maximum of five functions. A short description of each function follows.

Day Off:

Indicates an employee's day off .The employee does not have access to POS.

Server:

This employee function is used for a "Regular Server" in a table service restaurant. Open, Send, Print and Close checks.

Bar Server:

This employee function performs similar to regular servers; however, this employee cannot open/assign tables. The "Bar Server" employee function permits access to the Cash Bar operations. This type of configuration may be used for employees who are taking orders on the floor and picking up their orders at the bar.

Bar Tender:

This employee function performs similar to regular servers. In addition, the "Bartender" employee function permits access to the Cash Bar operations. This type of configuration may be used for employees who work behind the bar in a nightclub.

Manager:

This employee function is designed to facilitate customer service and restaurant management; however, it does not allow the user to open new tables. The "Manager" employee function may be used to perform global sales and employee report readings, voids, collect employee deposits, reprogram the touch screen, change prices, etc. Access to the special menu (FUNCTION) is programmed in the employee configuration. Removing the check mark in the individual functions will restrict access to various manager functions; however, you must assign the Manager function to at least one employee.

Head Server:

This function works like a regular server function but it can also give access to other server's tables.

Delivery:

This employee function is used for taking delivery orders using the telephone number and requires an AT keyboard. If the customer is on file, the system prints the check with complete file information. If the customer is not on file, the system requests billing information. The system verifies if the address is in a delivery zone.

Fast Food:

Enters multiple orders without re-entering the employee number and settles guest checks immediately. The system returns to order entry mode automatically. Checks are programmed to print by request only using the Print Last Check feature. Works in table #0 and remains in table #0 with the same server number.

Delivery Driver:

Close delivery orders. You may use this function with the Driver Delivery option.

Cashier:

This employee function is used in a restaurant that uses central cashier /cashier banking. The "Cashier" employee function is used to close checks printed by the server w/cashier by entering the last four digits of the guest check. This employee may select or change form of payments, reorders item on same check and discounts sale items.

Order:

Settle checks immediately (table #0) or opens regular tables. The system returns to order entry mode automatically and remains in table #0.

Hostess:

This function allows to enter a server's number of buffets when using the Control Buffet option, or to manage the waiting list when using the Floor Management module.

NOTE: Table #0 is used for quick orders that automatically close to cash. Only limited order entry functions are available when using table #0 to streamline the completion of ordering, printing, and closing of guest checks. In order to speed up the repetitive order entry typical to a bar situation, the order entry screen refreshes to a blank table #0 screen after closing table #0. When an employee closes table #0, the workstation automatically prints a guest check.

NOTE: This is useful to allow an employee to take Employees on the Clock reports, but forbid to perform Time Clock Adjustments.

Time Card Access

Select this option for the employee to be able to print his time card from the workstation.

Borrowed

If the employee is borrowed from another site of the chain of restaurant, check this field.

Configuration

An employee configuration is a set of options and settings that can be used for a group of employees. The employee configuration will determine if an employee is allowed to carry out specific tasks or not, like voids, check cancellation, price changes, inventory adjustments, etc. These options can also impact the behaviour of the POS, as you can determine whether or not a check will print, how modes are accessed, how screens are navigated, etc.

Typically, one distinct employee configuration should exist for each job title in the establishment. For instance, it is common to see distinct employee configurations for Managers, head servers, servers, bartenders, order takers, hostess, clerks, etc.

Up to 50 different employee configurations can be created in the Maitre'D database. Once a configuration is created, it can be assigned to an employee from Point of Sale Control / Employees / Employees / [Employee Name] / Function. All available configurations will be selectable from the Configuration drop-down list.

General

Description

Type in the configuration description. This description appears on the Employees Function page.

Redirection Table

Select the redirection table used for this configuration. This redirection table field overrides the normal redirection specified for each workstation.

Inactivity Override

Enable this option to override the inactivity timeout delay specified in Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Security.

NOTE: normally, this should not be used in the Hostess configuration, because they need to remain on their floor plan by default.

POS Inactivity

Enter the inactivity delay, in seconds, after which the workstation will timeout and return to the server login screen. Setting this field to 0 (zero) prevents workstation timeout.

NOTE: This setting has precedence over the delay specified in the POS Inactivity field, under Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Security. However, the value in that field must be different than 0 (zero) for the Inactivity Override to come into effect.

Invoice

Check Access

Enable this option to allow employees to access checks closed by other employees, using the last four digits of the check. If this option is disabled, the employees can only access their own checks.

Add on Printed Check

Enable this option to allow employees to add items to a table for which the check has already been printed. If this option is disabled, servers will not be able to add items to a table after the check has been printed.

NOTE: This also allows Table Zero employees to go back to the Print Check screen from the Payment screen by touching the Exit button, and touching the Exit button again to go back to the Order screen. This option is unavailable if the Bump On Complete Payment option is enabled in System Configuration / View / Options / Devices / Options.

Reprint Checks

If you enable this option, and an employee has already printed a check, the workstation can reprint a check when the employee presses the PRINT button. If you disable this option, and an employee has already printed a check, the workstation does not allow that employee to print the check again. The one exception to this printing restriction is that any time sales items are added to the check, the server can print the check again regardless of how this option is set.

Bartender/Order Status

If the Reprint Checks option above is enabled, but the Bartender/Order Status option is disabled, the Bartender or Order server will not be able to reprint multiple copies of the same check using the Status Screen.

Split Check

If you enable this option, the employees can split previously printed check into 2 separate checks with amounts that they specify. In this situation, first the server prints 1 check with the sales items. Then to split the check, the server creates 2 new check numbers with the appropriate amounts. Details of sales items do not appear on split checks. A split check displays one line saying " Misc. Split Check " and the amount. The split check is normally used in a situation where customers want to split one check into several checks regardless of what they had ordered.

Redistribution

If you enable this option, servers can redistribute the check amounts among customers at their tables. They can perform this function by pressing the REDISTRIBUTION button on the CMD screen at the touchscreen. For example, if a check was originally printed with all customers on one check, and the customers decide to split the check, the server is able to print as many checks as the table requests. The REDISTRIBUTION button does not appear unless the check has been printed once.

Void Check

Enabling this option will allow employees to void checks that have already been sent to the kitchen, but before they were closed. Employees can use the VOID CHECK button to void all items on a check instead of using the VOID button, which only voids highlighted items.

Print Last Check

Check on Table #0 must be set to "No". You must use the SEND button on the touch screen to send the order to shared printers. If the check has been printed, it is not possible to print the check again using the PRINT LAST CHECK button. The purpose of this option is to print checks that have been sent but not printed without reentering the check.

Skip Check Detail

If you enable this option, you will be able to enter a description that will replace the detail of the check when printing it.

Modifiers on Check

If you enable this option, the modifiers will print on the customer's guest check. For example, in fast-food, you would see the condiments. When ordering a hot dog with relish and mustard, all 3 items will be printed on the check.

Customer Tracking

If this option is enabled, after selecting the media type for a check, the server will be asked to enter a customer "account" or choose from a list of customers.

From order screen only

This option becomes available only if the Customer Tracking option above is enabled. Enable this option to disable the customer tracking prompt that normally appears after payment is applied. This option still allows for a loyalty account to be attached to a transaction from the order screen.

Division Category on check

Enable this option to print a summary by division categories on the guest check. As well, under P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Divisions Category, the Printed On The Check option must be enabled.

Print empty categories

When the Division Category On Check option is activated, enable this option to even print categories in which no sales were done on the guest check. As well, under P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Divisions Category, the Printed On The Check option must be enabled.

Sorting by meal types

Enable this option to print the guest check by meal course types, as you have set under P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Divisions.

Media on check with receipt

Select this option to print the Media distribution portion on the guest check as well as on the receipt for Fast-Food employees.

Coupon Rewards

Enable this option to allow this employee to generate "Buy $10.00 get a Free Item Next Visit" type Rewards Coupons to encourage guests to return.

NOTE: These rewards can apply to any check, and are not associated with Frequent Diners, but are configured in Point of Sale Control / Frequent Diner / Rewards Coupons.

Print Current Customer

Enable this option to allow to print the check for a single guest without going through the check distribution process and pressing the Next button for all guests who are not ready to leave.

NOTE: Also setup a Print Current Customer command button in Point of Sale Control / Screens / Screen Layout, Preferential Screen or CMD List

Loyalty Program

Enable this option to allow employees to record loyalty program information on guest checks by using a preferential screen button or a button on the PRINT CHECK screen.

NOTE: Loyalty programs are configured in Point of Sale Control / Frequent Diner / Loyalty Program.

Cancellation

Void Item

If you enable this option, the void option will be enabled but only for authorized employees such as managers. This option allows an employee to void items already sent to a shared printer.

Re-Open Check

Enable this option to allow managers to Re-Open Checks that were previously closed. With this option, the manager needs to type the last 4 digits of the check number to be re-opened. After the check number is entered, the system modifies its payment to Cash, creates a negative order equivalent to the original check, automatically closes it to Cash, and then recreates a positive third order equivalent to the original check.

NOTE: This option is available only if the Void Item option is also enabled, and can only be accessed through the Manager Menu.

NOTE: This option should not be used if EMV EFT protocols are in place. The payment will be modified to Cash in Maitre’D, preventing any EFT refund on that check number. Please use Cancel/Re-Open Check instead, which will automatically block any attempt to re-open a check closed to any EFT media type on EMV protocols.

Cancel Check

Enable this option to allow managers to Cancel Checks that were previously closed. The Cancel Closed Check function creates a negative order equivalent to the original check, and prompts for the media type for the negative check, because some payments do not accept negative amounts.

NOTE: This option is available only if the Void Item option is also enabled, and can only be accessed through the Manager Menu.

Cancel / Re-Open Check

Enable this option to allow managers to Re-Open Checks that were previously closed. The Cancel / Re-Open Check allows a manager to see a list of all closed checks with their number and value. Once a check is selected, the system modifies its payment to Cash, creates a negative order equivalent to the original check, automatically closes it to Cash, and then recreates a positive third order equivalent to the original check.

NOTE: This option is available only if the Void Item option is also enabled, and can only be accessed through the Manager Menu. To eliminate the printing of previously ordered items when reopening a check, also enable the Re-Open Check Without Kitchen Printing option in Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Printing.

NOTE: Cancel / Re-Open Check is blocked for checks closed to an EFT media type using EMV protocols. To reopen a check that was closed to an EFT media type on an EMV protocol, a VOID CCA STATUS needs to be done first. This will refund the payment card and allow for a Cancel / Re-Open to be carried out afterwards.

Reason Selection

Enable this option to prompt for a Void Reason when performing a Cancel or Re-Open Check.

Validate Amount

Enable this option to perform a validation when processing a Cancel Check to limit the amount refunded so that it is not higher than the total of the original check.

Tax/Service

Service

Enabling this option will cause Maitre'D to add a service charge to the check. The service rate can be configured under Point of Sale Control / Payment / Tips & Service. When printing each check that involves service charges, the WITHOUT SERVICE button appears on the Print Check screen at the workstation, allowing the server to cancel the service charge if necessary. If the employee's function is delivery, the service rate is the delivery charge.

Disable Service Removal

Enable this option to hide the WITHOUT SERVICE button on the print check screen of invoices that involve a service charge. This forbids these employees to cancel a service charge.

NOTE: The Service option, above, must also be enabled.

Service Override

If this option is enabled, the server will be able to change the service charge rate for the current check.

Special Tax Mode

If this option is enabled, this employee may gain access to the Special Tax Mode regardless of the workstation tax mode. The special tax button is located on the PRINT CHECK screen at the workstation. If you disable this option, the employee will work according to the tax mode of the workstation. The special tax applies to the whole check and is used instead of the tax for each division. The special tax is configured in Point of Sale Control / Payment / Taxes.

Auto Special Tax

If this option is enabled, the employee will always work using the special tax mode and does not have access to the Special Tax button on the Print Check screen. If you disable this option, the employee will work according to the tax mode of the workstation.

Non Taxable

If this option is enabled, a server may access the Non-Taxable button and close a check with no tax on it. The server must apply the Non -Taxable function to the entire check, not just part of it.

Individual Tax

If this option is enabled, the server will be able to choose the applicable tax(es) on the check.

Auto Non Taxable

If this option is enabled, the check selected by this server will be printed with no tax by default, unless override by pressing the TAXABLE button at the Print Check screen. The Non- Taxable option must be enabled to use this option.

Print Tip on EFT receipt

Enable this to print the tip and total lines on the EFT credit card voucher.

No tax on check

With this option enabled, the taxes will not be printed on the guest check, unless the employee touches the "Tax on check" button at the Print Check screen. However, taxes are still calculated and added to the check total as usual, and also appears in all the reports where taxes are calculated.

Gratuity

Enable this option to add the gratuity on bill for the employee. The gratuity on bill must also be configured properly in Point of Sale Control / Payments / Tips & Service. A manager with this option will be able to add gratuity to a bill even if the number of customers or sales amount does not meet the configured thresholds.

On Request

Enable this option to allow employees to add gratuity to a bill manually and on the fly, even if the number of customers or sales amount does not meet the configured thresholds.

NOTE: The Gratuity option, above, must also be enabled.

Removal

Enable this option to display a WITHOUT GRATUITY button on the print check screen of invoices that involve gratuities. This allows employees to manually cancel a gratuity at the workstation.

NOTE: The Gratuity option, above, must also be enabled.

Payment

Payment

The Maitre'D fine dining system offers the two standard banking methods.

In a server banking application, each server sends, prints and closes his/her own checks.

In a cashier banking application, each server sends and prints his/her own checks and the cashier closes all checks. The cashier uses the last four digits of the check number to recall the check. Upon recall, the cashier may add to the check, apply discounts and/or tender to a media.

In a cashier banking environment, the amount of the sale will show as a sales transfer on the server financial report and as a sales transfer and media on the cashier financial report. To allow an employee to close any check (including his own), the employee must be configured with both a server function and a cashier function.

The designation of server or cashier banking is made by enabling or disabling the With Cashier option in Point of Sale Control / Employee / Configuration / Invoice / Payments.

The designation of sales responsibility is made by enabling or disabling the Separated Sales option in Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Options / Payment. If Separated Sales is enabled, when a guest check is transferred to another server, the existing amount of sales remain with the server who ordered those items. If Separated Sales is disabled, when a check is transferred, sales credit belongs to the server who closed the guest check.

With Cashier

This option allows employees to print but not to close guest checks. Only the cashier can then close the guest checks. Do not enable this option if you want your employees to be able to close their own checks.

NOTE: If you give servers with the With Cashier option enabled a second function of cashier with the Check Access option disabled in Point of Sale Control / Employee / Configuration / Invoice, they will be able to close only their own checks with that second function. During rush hours, another cashier employee with the Check Access option enabled will be able to help by closing anybody's checks.

Amount Tender

This option allows employees to enter an amount greater than the check amount. Maitre'D will automatically calculate the change or tip.

Mandatory Amount

Enable this option to force the employee to enter the amount tendered, which can be equal or greater than the check total. If the option is disabled, the employee can simply press Enter when the amount tendered is equal to the check total.

Bar tab pre-auth

Enable this option to allow the employee to open a bar tab using a credit card and request a pre-authorization to cover a running tab.

NOTE: This feature is only available in the United States with select processors. The Electronic Funds Transfer module also needs to be configured to allow Pre-Authorizations and bar tabs.

Detail receipt

Enable this option for cashiers to print all sales items with the media types used on the receipt after settling a check.

NOTE: Both the Print Receipt and Check On Receipt options must also be enabled in Point of Sale Control / Payments / Media Types / Option

EFT reprint

Enable this option to allow the employee to print duplicate EFT vouchers.

Tray Total

Enable this option to allow settling with other media types than Cash with the Close All Trays function.

Disable Negative Payment

This option disables the "+/-" button on the Cash screen, unless the invoice itself is negative.

Payment Confirmation

Enable this option to allow these employees to accept reserved media types with the Mandatory Confirmation option enabled in Point of Sale Control / Payments / Media Type / Option. When an employee with this option disabled chooses such a payment type, a keypad appears for another employee with this option enabled to Login and confirm the media and amount.

NOTE: This option is normally only enabled for Head Servers and Managers.

Print Receipt Without Confirmation

Enable this option for the workstation to print the receipt automatically without prompting for a confirmation as soon as the payment is completed for all media type that offer a receipt.

NOTE: The Print Receipt option must also be enabled in Point of Sale Control / Payment / Media Type.

Account Payment

Receivable Account

This option enables the RECEIVABLE button in the SPECIAL MENU and allows employees to accept payments of receivable accounts from the workstation.

NOTE: The Balance is printed on the transaction receipt. This is useful when using Accounts Receivable as Gift Certificate.

Discount on Card Only

Enable this option to force to use of an Account Receivable card to apply an A/R Discount.

Display Balance

Enable this option to display the Accounts Receivable balance on the Order screen once an account has been associated to a table. The Accounts Receivable balance also appears at the bottom of the Print screen.

NOTE: the Display Balance must also be enabled in Server Control / View / Options / Receivable

Deposit

Employee Deposit

Enable this option to grant access to the Employee Deposit payment in the Special Menu on the workstation. This function allows employees to deposit cash from their assigned cash drawer. The system keeps in record the employee number and the cash deposited to reflect this on the employee's financial reading.

NOTE: Deposits are for cash money only.

Employee Deposit Before Reading

Enable this option to force the employees to perform an employee deposit before they can print a reading.

Current / Previous Shift

Enable this option to allow the employees to determine whether the employee deposit that they are doing is for the current or previous shift.

Force deposit

Enable this option to force employees to perform a deposit when the threshold amount is reached in their assigned cash drawer. The cash threshold amount is configured in the Cash Limit field below.

Cash Limit

This field becomes available only if the Force Deposit option is enabled. Enter the cash amount threshold after which the employee will be forced to perform an employee deposit.

NOTE: For this option to work, employees must be linked to a Cash Drawer in Point of Sale Control / Employees / Employees / POS Operation, and cash drawers must be linked to the workstations in Point of Sale Control / Workstation / Options / Devices.

NOTE: If the amount of cash in the drawer exceeds the cash limit, the workstation will not accept transactions from this employee until enough cash has been deposited.

Order

Order Functions

Use Modifier

Enable this option to allow employees to order modifiers at the POS workstation. If this option is disabled, items that are configured with modifiers will be ordered without modifiers by these employees.

Replace Modifier

This option only becomes available if the Use Modifier option is enabled. Enable this option to allow employees to replace a modifier by a different one using the LESS function key.

Print On Next Client

Enable this option to send the items selected for the current customer to the kitchen when using the Next Customer button in Fast-Food operations.

No Customer Count

Enable this option to skip Table Zero (0) guests from the customer count in the reports for Bartender, Fast Food & Order employees. This is useful to avoid double count of a client who orders a drink in the lounge until a dinning room table is ready, for example.

NOTE: This option disables, for Table Zero (0), the Count Customer button of Point of Sale Control / Screens / Screen Layout Setup. Also, this option allows to skip guests of regular tables from the customer count in reports by allowing to enter Zero (0) when the # of Customers option is set to Beginning in Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Options / Options. The Special Menu Printout options also has to be enabled in both Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Check & Printing. This is useful to avoid double count of a client who orders a coffee and a dessert after paying the main meal, for example, or a customer ordering in the bar lounge while waiting for a table to become available.

Enhanced Mandatory Divisions

Enable this option to prompt for the mandatory divisions when the Send button is touched. This is especially useful for Drive-Thru operations.

NOTE: If this option is disabled, the prompt for mandatory divisions will occur when the Print button is touched.

Qty Keyboard

If you enable this option, a numeric pad is available, allowing the employee to specify quantities without using the Quantity button under the CMD screen.

Alternate Order Screen

Enable this option to compile the chosen items in real-time on the Order screen. As you choose items, if some identical ones have already been selected, they will be displayed on the same line instead of being displayed each on their own line. This is useful when ordering for multiple guests on the same customer screen.

NOTE: This option also compiles identical items ordered in separate operations.

Park Table

Enable this option to allow dining room employees to keep items currently selected but yet to be ordered so that they can leave the workstation and come back later without having to re-enter all those selections again. When that employee then accesses any Point Of Sales, the parked table is automatically offered, and the kept items are displayed, as if the employee had not left the workstation. New items can then be added and ordered at the same time as the kept items.

NOTE: Also create a Park Table button in Point of Sale Control / Screens. On the Floor Plan and Table Verification screens, a parked table will be noted with an "H", for Held. An employee can only park one table at a time.

Hold and Fire

Fire

Enable this option to allow employees to manually Fire held items to kitchen printers. This allows employees to override the time delay on held items.

Hold

Enable this option to allow employees to manually set a Hold on items during the ordering process, so they are not fired to the kitchen printers when the order is sent. When a hold is set on an item, the employee is asked for a time delay, in minutes, before the item is automatically fired to kitchen printers. The countdown starts as soon as the order is sent using the Maitre’D Send command. The time delay can always be overridden by manually firing the item(s) or printing the guest check.

NOTE: If Hold is used in conjunction with the No Time Delay option, Maitre’D will not ask for a time delay, and the item(s) will be held indefinitely. Held items can then only be fired by using the manual Fire command or by printing the guest check.

Auto-Hold

Enable this option to automatically hold items using the predefined time delay set in the item’s division. Affected items will display the countdown clock as soon as they are ordered and behave the same way as manually held items. The countdown starts as soon as the order is sent using the Maitre’D Send command. The time delay of automatically held items can be overridden by using the manual Fire command or by printing the guest check. This option can also be used in conjunction with the No Time Delay option.

NOTE 1: Auto-hold delay is configured in: Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Divisions / [Division name] / Option / Auto-Hold.

NOTE 2: This option is only available if the Hold option is also enabled.

Course Confirmation

Enable this option to prompt for an "All Clients" confirmation when putting a Course on Hold for one client on a table where multiple clients have items separated by courses.

NOTE: The Fire and Hold options must also be enabled.

No Time Delay

Enable this option so that all held items are held indefinitely. With this option enabled, Maitre’D will no longer ask for a time delay when holding items. This option also affects auto-hold items by causing them to be also held indefinitely. Held items can then only be fired by using the manual Fire command or by printing the guest check.

Status Screen Operation

Enable this option to use Hold & Fire management from the Status Screen. With this option enabled, traditional Hold & Fire management from the order screen remains available.

Conditional Printing

Use Conditional Printing

Enable this option to activate the conditional printing option setup in P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Divisions / Conditional Printing.

Print Modifier

Enable this option for the conditional printing chit to include the modifiers associated with the sales item(s) from the second division.

Use Compilation

Enable this option to group identical items together in the conditional printing portion of the order chit with the sales item(s) from the second division.

If this option is enabled, customer can see his order on a remote display.

Display at the Bottom

Enable this option to display orders on the bottom half of CVM when this one operates in split mode.

Command

Other Screen KEYS

Send

If this option is enabled, the SEND button appears on the workstation for these employees. The SEND button is used for sending orders to the shared printers only. If Table #0 Check option is enabled, the SEND button also prints a guest check. If Table #0 Payment option is enabled, the SEND button closes the check.

Print

If this option is enabled, the PRINT button appears on the workstation for these employees. The PRINT button is used to print a check for the guest. If the order has just been entered, the PRINT button prints the guest check and sends the order to the kitchen in one step without using the SEND button.

Close

Servers use the CLOSE button to select a method of payment for the check. If servers have not used the SEND or PRINT buttons for an order, the CLOSE button sends items to the kitchen, prints a check, and closes the check to the selected media type. This CLOSE button appears on the order entry screen next to the PRINT button. In a server-banking environment, the CLOSE button should always be enabled.

Change Mode

If this option is enabled, the MODE button is available on the order entry screen at the workstation, and employees have the ability to change modes for any transaction. This option allows employees to order items from different modes.

Change Revenue Center

If this option is enabled, the REVENUE CENTER button is available on the order entry screen at the workstation, and employees have the ability to change revenue center for any transaction. This option can allow employees to order items from different revenue center on the same check.

Can Exit POS

If this option is enabled, these employees have access to the function CLOSE POS in the SYSTEM FUNCTIONS at the workstation to stop running the program any time.

Confirm for LESS & CLEAR

Enable this security option to restrict the use of the LESS and CLEAR buttons. With this restriction, the workstation requests a password when trying to use the LESS or the CLEAR buttons during the ordering process and only removes the items if the password belongs to a manager. Also, with this option, the number of Items corrected as well as their value will be printed on the server financial report.

Track Item Correct Detail

Enable this option to track all Clear/Less operations, even for employees allowed to perform these functions. You can only disable this option if you disable the "Confirm for LESS & CLEAR" option above it as well. Maitre'D also includes details on all of the removed sales items within those traces, whether these operations are restricted or not.

NOTE: Using this option adds significant traffic on the network.

Send on Positive Total Only

Surcharges are also taken into account when making the calculations. For instance, if a customer orders two desserts with a combo, a $3.00 apple pie and a $5.00 cake, Maitre’D will automatically make the $5.00 cake part of the combo, which saves the customer $2.00 more than the apple pie.

If this option is disabled, the combo engine will scan items in the order they were ordered and use the first item on the list that matches the combo requirements.

Table 0

Table 0 Functions

Access

Table 0 access allows an employee to place orders quickly and in rapid succession by eliminating the table # and manually closing all transactions to cash. For example, this is helpful in a busy bar environment. The system returns to the order entry screen automatically. If this option is enabled, this employee has access to table #0. Otherwise, this employee is not able to work on table #0.

Check

If you enable this option, the workstation prints a guest check automatically for each transaction when you use the SEND button. Otherwise, the employee must command the workstation to print a check on Table #0 by using the PRINT button. The Table #0 access option must also be enabled to use this option.

NOTE: If this option is disabled, Fast-Tender operations are quicker since you are not forced to print the check when using the fast-tender buttons.

Payment

This option offers you a choice of payment by displaying the media type screen after an order on Table #0 on. If the option is disabled, however, Maitre'D assumes the media type is cash and closes the check to cash. Disabling this option gives faster operation because the check automatically closes to cash. However, if the check is closed to cash by mistake, you can always modify the payment by using the last four digits of the check. The Table #0 access option must also be enabled for this option to work properly.

Drawer on Total

If you enable this option, the cash drawer will open when the workstation displays the total during table #0 operation. Otherwise, the cash drawer will only open after the media type is selected. Usually, this option is enabled for faster operation.

Void

If this option is enabled, employees can create negative checks. Employees use negative checks to perform refund on closed checks. This option does not produce a button on the CMD screen. You are not voiding a specific check, but creating a new check number that has the items to be voided entered negatively. This check offsets the check that was ring incorrectly.

Bar server interrupt

Enable this option to be able to switch from one bar server order screen to another, during the ordering process. When enabled, a SERVER button will let you switch from the current bar server order screen, to a new bar server order screen. For example, if Bar Servers are entering an order in the system but another employee comes along who needs to place an order urgently, they can select the Server Interrupt button and enters their server number and process the order. The original servers are then able to go back to the first order screen; Maitre'D will simply take them back to where the order was left off.

Filtered Customer List

Drive Thru

This option is only available for employees with the Order function. This option is designed especially for a restaurant with a drive-thru service. The system uses the FIFO (First in First Out) method to recall the customers in the queue. A drive-thru employee should be set with two Order Functions and use different configurations for each function. The first function is used to take customers orders. In this configuration, the Drive Thru field must not be enabled. The system will then assign a new order number. The second function is used to recall and close customer orders. In this configuration, the Drive Thru option must be enabled. The system will then give access to the oldest unclosed order.

Pick Up Mode

Enabling this option will allow the server to use the Carry Out function-a new function designed to do carry outs. A carry out is an order that is taken by phone from the employee, just like a normal delivery, but that is picked up at the restaurant by the customer instead of being delivered to the customer's home.

In order to enable that function, you must create a Carry out Configuration like a basic delivery configuration, but you must also select the Pick up mode option under P.O.S. Control / Employees / Configuration / Delivery. When enabled, this option allows to obtain a CARRY OUT function, therefore, all the carry out orders will not appear in the dispatch screen. You will need to create 2 functions for employees taking telephone orders. One is called DELIVERY, for orders to be delivered, and the other one is CARRY OUT for customers that will pick up their orders. For DELIVERY, use the delivery configuration that has no Pick up mode option enabled, and for CARRY OUT use the one that does have the Pick up mode option enabled.

From the server ID screen, enter your server code then press ENTER; this will give you access to a selection screen.
Touch the CARRY OUT button to make the customer information screen appear.
Enter the customer information then touch ORDER.
Place your order and hit the SEND button. This way, the order will not be sent to the drivers' dispatch screen.

Revenue Center

Revenue Center Overview

Up to 32 revenue centers can be used in Maitre'D. The total number of revenue centers available for your system is configured in Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Configuration.

Revenue centers are sometimes also called "Profit Centers". Revenue Centers generally correspond to different services or locations offered by the establishment. For instance, a restaurant that has a bar/lounge, a take-out counter and a delivery service in addition to the regular dining room may want to be able to take reports for each of these entities separately. For that purpose, you may create a revenue center for each service: Dining Room, Bar/Lounge, Take-Out, Delivery. With these revenue centers, you can now take sales reports for each individual revenue center to assess the individual performance of each entity, or you can take reports that combine all revenue center to assess the global performance of the whole establishment.

Each revenue center can have up to 32 modes. Modes can be seen as price levels or price points. Modes can change automatically based on the time of day, or be selected manually. It is also possible to assign specific modes to employee screen access configurations. The number of modes available is configured in Point of Sale Control / View / Options / Configuration. Other mode options are configured in Point of sale Control / Revenue Center / Options / Configuration / Modes.

NOTE: The processing time used by item files increases exponentially with the number of revenue centers and modes. For instance, a system with 4 revenue centers and 4 modes has 16 different configurations per sales item to manage. A system using the maximum 32 revenue centers and 32 modes has a total of 1024 configurations per sales item to manage. For this reason, the Maitre'D system should be configured for the smallest possible number of revenue centers and modes in order to maximize performance.

Items Setup

Items Setup List

The Items Setup selection list is divided into a Tree & Branches layout.

Enable a sales item's root to open up the item's main setup.

Enable a sales item's branch to open up the item's configuration by revenue center & mode.

You can sort sales items based on the Item Description, PLU, Division or Function columns.

Search

You can search for sales items by Item Description, PLU, Division, Function, Revenue Center and Mode.

NOTE: As you type, the search engine only displays items that contain the string, within the set filters. For example, if you perform a search with the string "Shrimp" the system will show all items with that word.

Group By

You can group the display of sales items, so that they are easier to locate, based on the Items Description, Division or Function

This field is used if you choose By Priority in the Sort Type field of P.O.S. Control / Screens / Variable List Setup and/or P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Item Class. This is useful to group similar items within a broader list. For example, in a dessert list, you can group pies, cakes, donuts, ice cream and others by assigning different priorities to these items according to the different dessert types.

NOTE: Items with the same value in this field will be sequenced alphabetically within their section of the list.

Links

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.

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.

Enable this option in Printout#1 to Printout #9 to print items other then modifiers in red characters as well. For example, this is useful for items with the Free function, but used as modifiers.

Priority

This field is used to prioritize the order in which items print out, so that it follows the specific order in which the cooks prepare them. For example, even if a server enters the modifiers for a pizza as: Mushrooms, Cheese, Pepperoni and Light sauce, the system could print them as: Light sauce, Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Cheese. Items with 0 have the lowest priority, and will print after all other items.

Modifier

Regular Modifier

Enable this to use regular modifiers to obtain the modifier lists for a given sales item. Use these fields to cause 1 or 2 specific modifiers screen to appear when a server orders a certain sales item. For example, if a server orders a steak, a screen will appear on the touchscreen offering the choice of temperature for the steak, followed by a second screen offering a choice for starches.

Modifier #1, Modifier #2

From the drop-down menu, select the variable list of modifiers you want to link to the sales item.

NOTE: A Modifier is a sales item that works as a Remark. There is a maximum of two modifiers per sales item, but since a modifier item can be linked to another one, you can actually link as many modifiers as you need.

Weight Modifier

Enable this to use the weight modifier to obtain the modifier lists for a sales item. Use the Weighted Modifier option instead of Regular Modifier for advanced flexibility. Here is an example of how you might use the weighted modifier. Suppose that there is a choice of 2 free condiments out of 3 available with a Pizza:

Pepperoni, worth $1.00, has a weight of 1.

Green pepper, worth $1.00, has a weight of 1.

Shrimp, worth $2.00, has a weight of 2 because it is worth twice as much as the other two condiments.

In this situation, 1 shrimp has the same value as 1 pepperoni + 1 green pepper, therefore, the customer has a choice between pepperoni and green pepper or shrimp only. If he wants more, he has to pay extra. As you can see, the weighted modifier allows to compare food items that have different values and to mix and match them accordingly.

Weight. Mod.

Click on the drop-down arrow to select the weighted modifier if you want it to be linked to this sales item.

Level Modifiers

Level Mod

Enable the level modifier you want to use. A level modifier is used for example when you are creating sales items such as pizzas, and the items that you will select could have different prices depending on the quantity selected. EX: A basic pizza will go for 9.95 $ with a choice of 3 toppings. Toppings 4 and 5 will go for 2.00 $ whatever you select 4 or 5 toppings, and topping 6 and 7 will go for 1.50 $ each. 1) You will need to program your basic pizza 2) You will need to program a weight modifier for those toppings 3) You will need to create a Level modifier for this pizza. In your basic pizza item you will select your pizza weight modifier, and your pizza level modifier. The pizza level modifier will be programmed such as: Select the Use price fields 1 to 7 Price #1: 0.00 $ Price #2: 0.00 $ Price #3: 0.00 $ Price #4: 2.00 $ Price #5: 0.00 $ Price #6: 1.50 $ Price #7: 1.50 $

Level Modifiers

How to use level modifier

Level modifiers are designed to work with a price structure. Your menu setup, modifier or weight modifier can produce the same list of modifiers or price roll-ups, and each time, the item price will change according to the price structure.

For example, imagine that your special on medium pizzas is as follows: the price for a medium pizza is $10.00 including 1 topping. Adding one or two toppings to that will cost $3.00 more ($13.00), adding yet another one or two toppings to the pizza will cost $2.00 more ($15.00), and finally, all additional add-ons will cost $1.50 more.

Pizza

To do so

On your pizza item you set the price of $10.00. This item will call a modifier screen that could be reach from modifier #1 or weight modifier option. In addition, this item will call a level modifier to set the modifier prices according to your structure.

With this setup, when you select MEDIUM PIZZA, the program calls the MED TOP group up to 10 times and each time you select something from it the program apply the price structure build in the level modifier MEDIUM PRICES. As you can see, because the USE PRICE option is enabled, the first five item prices will be $0.00, $3.00, $0.00, $2.00, $0.00. Then because level price option is disabled the program will apply the price of the modifier it self ($1.50 per selection).

Description

Price #1 to Price #20

The options in this section will only become available if one of the selected taxes has the option BC Soda Beverage Tax enabled, in Point of Sale Control / Payments / Taxes / [select tax] / Option. These options should be used only by merchants located in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The purpose of these settings is to configure the calculation of the BC Soda Beverage Tax for taxable items that are part of combo meals or included with other items that are not taxable.

Example #1

You sell an all-you-can-eat buffet with access to a soda fountain for $30.00. Access to the soda fountain is not sold separately. Since $3.00 is lesser than 50% of $30.00 ($15.00), the BC Soda Tax will be calculated on $3.00.

Example #2

You sell an all-you-can-eat buffet for $28.00. You offer access to a soda fountain for an additional $2.00. Because access to the soda fountain is listed separately on the menu, the BC Soda Tax is calculated on the sale price of $2.00.

Example #3

You sell a hot-dog and soda combo for $5.00. The soda is not listed on the menu and not sold on its own. Because 50% of $5.00 ($2.50) is lesser than $3.00, the BC Soda Tax will be calculated on $2.50.

Enable this option so that the price of the item is rolled-up into the price of the main combo item. In other words, the price of the main combo item will increase and the items displayed as modifiers will appear as free modifiers.

Combo Meal Grouping

Grouping allows a combo element to be selected from a group of items. For instance, a combo meal may include a specific main dish, while allowing the customer to choose among a variety of side orders, appetizers and drinks to complete the combo meal.

Items can be grouped by division, item class or variable lists.
The Maitre’D combo detection engine also considers these groups when scanning for combos.
There is no limit to the number of groups that can be added to a combo meal.

Click the Add button to add groups to the list.

Select a group from the list and click the Modify button to change its properties within the combo meal.

Select an existing group and click the Remove button to delete it from the list.

Combo Meal Grouping Properties

Group Type

Select the appropriate group type from this drop-down list. Items can be grouped by Division, Item Class or Variable List.

Division, Item Class or Variable List

Once the group type is selected, select a division, item class or variable list from the drop-down list on the right.

Quantity

This field is used to set the quantity of the sales item that needs to be ordered from this group before the combo detection is triggered. This is useful for items that can be packaged and sold “cheaper by the dozen”, like donuts and cookies. Also, this is especially useful in situations where items could become non-taxable based on the quantity purchased. For example, ordering 6 taxable cookies could trigger the detection of a combo called “Half-Dozen Cookies” which would be non-taxable in certain jurisdictions.

Command

Choose whether to call an Item or a Variable List as a component or a choice of components within this group once the Sales Item(s) in the Items area are detected. For example, this option allows calling a choice of soft drinks when Maitre'D detects a combo after the selection of a sandwich and French Fries.

Usage

From the drop-down list, select the Item or Variable List that will be called as a component within this group once the Sales Item(s) in the Items area are detected.

Allocation Price

If the Category Allocation option is enabled, type in the dollar amount that will be used for this combo component in sales reports.

Price Management

Normal

In Normal mode, the item will appear as a free modifier under the main combo item. The final price of the combo remains unchanged.

Special Menu List

The Special Menu function allows offering pre-defined groups of sales items at a special price in a Table Side fine dinning restaurant, similarly to combos that can be offered in fast-food restaurants. Special Menus validation also uses a logic similar to but more powerful then mandatory divisions. For example, you can buy separately a salad at $ 5.25 and a chicken breast at $ 9.75, or if order these together under a special Easter lunch menu get these for $ 12.95.

Description

The Special Menu Lists are used to group Special Menu Settings for reporting purposes. Enter a type of Special Menu Setting.

Special Menu Settings are used as validation tables for specials.

Special Menu

Select a type from the Special Menu List.

Description

Enter a name for that special menu.

Item

Select the sale item that represents the special menu. This item will be printed as the main item with the special menu price and all included components for this special menu will be printed under as free items.

NOTE: The Variable List is disabled.

Modify

Click this button to setup each component choice.

Division

Select the division of the free Control Item for this part of the meal. If you forgot to order a priced Special Menu, but only ordered an free Control Item from this division, you will have to select a special menu before you can print the check.

-or-

Item Class

Select the item class of the free Control Item for this part of the meal. If you forgot to order a priced Special Menu, but only ordered an free Control Item from this item class, you will have to select a special menu before you can print the check.

Quantity

Set this field to 1, unless you want to offer multiple components of the same type, such as cheese selections on a tasting menu.

Command

Select if the free Control Item is detected by Item, Item Class or Variable List.

Usage

Select the free Control Item, Item Class or Variable List that call sales items as free weight modifier for this part of the meal. If you forgot to order this free Control Item, but chose a priced Special Menu item that includes this Control Item, you will have to select this control item and a free sales items that it calls as weight modifiers before printing the check. Inversely, if this free Control Item is ordered, but no special menu that contains it is present, you will have to choose a special menu.

Item Class

An Item Class allows to group sales items together on a same button of a preferential screen without necessarily having to use a variable list. Item Classes could correspond to subsections of your printed menu.

Description

Enter the item class name. These descriptions should reflect your printed menu. For example: Pizza, Pasta, Grill and Seafood.

NOTE: Variable Lists can also include Item Classes.

Sort Type You can apply different Sort Types to group similar items within a broader list:

Alphabetical Order: uses the Regular Description field of Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Items Setup / Item.

By External Code: uses the External Code field of Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Items Setup / Links.

By Priority: uses the Display Priority field of Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Items Setup / Options.

For example, in a dessert list, you can group pies, cakes, donuts, ice cream and others by assigning different priorities to these items according to the different dessert types.

NOTE: If you sort by External Code or Priority, items with the same value in those fields will be sequenced alphabetically within their section of the list. Also, if you include an Item Class within a Variable List, the Variable List Sort Type has precedence. Enable the Sorted option in the Item Class button in Point of Sale Control / Screens / Command Setup.

Options

Configuration

A Revenue Center is a source of revenue. For example, one source of your revenue might be the dining room, while another source of your revenue might be take-out. Each revenue center can have a different revenue center setup. The reason for having different revenue centers is to provide more flexibility. For example, you might want liquor items on the dining room revenue center, but not on the take-out revenue center.

Revenue Center Name

Type the revenue center description using a maximum of 20 characters. Some examples of revenue center names are "DINING ROOM", "TAKE-OUT", "BAR", "DRIVE-THRU" and "ROOM SERVICE".

Name

This field displays the restaurant name (You are not allowed to modify this information after the software activated).

Address 1 and 2

Type the name and address of your restaurant in those 2 lines. The workstation uses these fields to print the address at the top of each guest check. There can be a maximum of 30 characters per line. If the description is 20 characters or less, it prints with double width. If the description is over 20 characters, it prints in single width.

Modes

Modes usually refer to the times of the day. Each revenue center can have a maximum of 32 modes. You can have a different price for a sale item from one mode to another.

Availability

You can set availability options for all modes to restrict the selection of modes when using the mode switch function for fast-food employees on the workstation. If the current mode is different from any of the available mode, the display does not include the Exit button. This availability only applies to the mode switch.

Mode Description

Mode names appear on reports in the Back-Office so that you can see what the sales totals are for each mode. They also appear on the touch screens, and optionally on kitchen printouts. Some examples or mode names are "BREAKFAST", "LUNCH", "HAPPY HOUR" or "EVENING". The mode name can contain a maximum of 15 characters.

% Customer

The number you specify is the percentage of customers who receive an evaluation sheet to provide feedback on the restaurant's cleanliness, service, and food. The evaluation sheet prints automatically before the guest check. If you do not want to use this option, enter "0" in this field.

Special Tax

The tax laws of your region determine whether or not you need to use these fields. Some areas require special taxes for certain situations. If this option is enabled, this mode uses the tax specified in the Tax for Special Mode field for each tax definition under Point of Sale Control/Payments/Taxes. Otherwise, this mode uses the regular tax definition.

Special Inventory

If in a special mode, like "HAPPY HOUR", you do not use the same quantities in your recipes, select the mode in which this applies.

Workstation

Evaluation Sheet

None

No Evaluation Sheet will be printed.

Normal

A standard evaluation sheet will be printed according to the percentage set up (% Client) in this revenue center. The normal Evaluation Sheet will include comments on Reception, Cleanliness, Service and the item ordered by the customer. It will also include the guest check number, the time of the order, the time when the guest check was printed and the server's name.

Detailed

Same as the normal Evaluation Sheet but it will include more comments on the Entry, Main Course, and Dessert such as Portion, Taste, Dressing, Temperature and Price.

NOTE: If you which to use the Detailed Evaluation Sheet, you will need to program the " Type of Division " field in the Divisions set up.

Option

Sales Included in TEFRA

This field indicates whether the sales from this revenue center are added to TEFRA (Taxable Earnings Financial Report Allowance) totals. TEFRA sales are those that employees are tipped on. Restaurant employees are responsible to pay taxes on all income, including tips. The restaurant can track these sales and estimate by percentage the amount of tips received. For example, customers usually do not tip employees working the drive-thru. You might have a dining room revenue center, where servers are tipped, and you would enable this option for this revenue center. You might also have a drive-thru revenue center with this option disabled. This field is only used in the United States, and Maitre'D estimates 8% of the sales as tips. For more information on the use of TEFRA sales, see the Time & Attendance module.

Subscribed Sales

Enable this option if those revenue center sales are among those that the restaurant has to pay a certain royalty on. The report for such revenue center will be included in the Statistics sales information.

If this option is enabled, servers can transfer only the actual amount of the payment. Otherwise, servers can transfer any amount.

NOTE: The Transfer / Payment option in the Employee Configuration must also be enabled.

Receipt

If you enable this option, a payment receipt prints when closing a check. An example of how you might use this option is in a restaurant where you want receipt for credit card payment but not cash payments. You would enable the Print Receipt option, but for the Cash Media Type, you would disable the Print Receipt option in Media Types. If you disable the Payment Receipt option, payment receipts do not print even if the Print Receipt field in Media Types is enabled.

Force OK

This field applies to fast operations such as the bar, carry out, or drive-thru. If you enable this option, when such an employee presses the SEND, PRINT, or CLOSE buttons, they see the check amount in a box, and the only option is OK.

Enable this option so that sales are transferred when a head server accesses a regular server's or another head server's table.

Separated Discounts

If this option is enabled, when a manager gives a discount for a server, the discount will appear on the manager's reading and a discount transfer will appear on the manager's and the server's reading. If this option is disabled, the discount will appear only on the server's reading.

Partial Payment

Enable this option to allow employees to apply a partial payment to a table, for a guest who is leaving, and keep ordering new items on that same table for guests who are staying.

EFT

This section contains options to customize Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) settings for each Revenue Center. The options configured here will override the corresponding settings from the EFT module. If these options are not configured, Maitre'D will use the settings found in the EFT module as default.

Configuring EFT options here is useful if the restaurant uses more than one account with a given processor. This allows for different accounts to be configured for each revenue center.

EFT Merchant Number

Enter the Merchant Number provided by the card processing service provider

NOTE: Entering a merchant number here will override the Merchant Number configured in Electronic Funds Transfer / View / Options / Identification / Merchant Number.

Merchant Name

Some providers use a Merchant Name that may be different than the actual business name. If your processor provides such a Merchant Name, enter it here.

NOTE: Entering a merchant name here will override the Merchant Name configured in Electronic Funds Transfer / View / Options / Identification / Merchant Name.

Store ID

Enter the store number provided by the card processing service provider.

NOTE: Entering a Store Number here will override the Store Number configured in Electronic Funds Transfer / View / Options / Identification / Store Number.

Prompt Only if Total Over

Enter the check amount above which the cashier will be prompted whether to print the customer copy or not. If the check amount is below the configured amount, the cashier will not be prompted and check will not be printed.

NOTE: Regardless of how Prompt for Receipt and Prompt Only if Total Over are configured, it is always possible to manually print or reprint the customer copy receipts by accessing the closed check with its last 4 digits at the POS.

Messages

Messages

(1)(2)

These 2 lines print at the bottom center of every guest check for each revenue center. There can be a maximum of 2 lines of 20 characters each. Examples might be "Thank You!" and/or "Have a Nice Day".

NOTE: If you want the server name to display at the bottom of the guest check, there must be something in line 1.

Kitchen

Name

The revenue center name can appear on the tops of the chits that print on shared printers, such as for the bar or the kitchen. The name of the revenue center or any other description that is entered here prints at the top of the chit at all times when servers order items from this revenue center.

Modes

The mode can appear on the tops of the chits that print on shared printers, such as for the bar or the kitchen. During each mode a description entered here prints right after the name of the revenue center depending on the time of day.

Screens

Screens Overview

Weight Modifiers

This section explains how to create weighted modifiers that will then be linked to a sales item. A modifier can be:

An item that automatically comes with another item. In many cases the customer can choose the modifier, such as pasta salad or French fries.

A specification that the customer makes on the order, such as medium or rare for a steak.

A weighted modifier allows to deal with included food items of varying values.

Preferential Screen Setup

Define the contents of your preferential screens.

Screens Layout Setup

The Screen Layout setup function allows to customize the screen structure to your specific operation needs.

Variable List Setup

Enter the sales items you want to go on your variable lists.

In order to provide ordering flexibility, Maitre'D allows to assign lists of items to buttons on preferential screens. The purpose of variable lists is to:

Save space on the preferential screen.

Access similar items using a single button.

For example, you could set up a list called " Favorite desserts ", and a list of popular desserts would appear whenever a server selected that list.

Macro / CMD List Setup

The Macro List Setup option allows to add a sequence of commands on a single button of the Order Screen. This is useful for often-used button combinations, or to force procedures on the workstations.

The CMD List Setup option allows to add command buttons you want to have linked to your CMD list.

Mandatory division

Mandatory Divisions force servers to choose included items when necessary. They are configured by revenue center, so different revenue centers can have different mandatory divisions.

Weight Modifiers

This section explains how to create weighted modifiers that will then be linked to a sales item.

A modifier can be:

An item that automatically comes with another item. In many cases the customer can choose the modifier, such as pasta salad or French fries.

A specification that the customer makes on the order, such as medium or rare for a steak.

An example of how you might use weighted modifier, suppose there is a choice of 2 free condiments out of list of 3 available with a Pizza.

Pepperoni, worth $1.00, has a weight of 1.

Green pepper, worth $1.00, has a weight of 1.

Shrimp, worth $2.00, has a weight of 2 because it is worth twice as much as other condiments.

In this situation, 1 shrimp has the same value as 1 pepperoni + 1 green pepper. A weighted modifier allows to note this equality between included food items of varying values. From the POS Control/Screens menu, select Weighted Modifier. Select the appropriate revenue center. The Weighted Modifiers screen displays.

Programming weighted modifiers

Assign the weighted sales items to a variable list, and program the weighted modifier sales items with a function of REMARK AND WEIGHT OF 1. If the weight is equal to zero, this item will not be counted in the free modifiers.

Reminder: All modifiers must be in a variable list and linked to a division.

Program the weighted modifier.

Enable the number of weighted modifier you wish to use.

Give the weighted modifier a description.

Enable the preferential preset screen you wish to use.

Preferential Preset Screen

A listing of the preferential preset buttons available for the chosen preferential preset screen.

NOTE: If you wish to create a WM using Preferential preset Screen, program the PP screen first.

Enable the Preferential Preset button to call.

Enable minimum, maximum, and free.

Assign the weighted modifier and a weight of one to the MAIN/REVENUE

Description

Type in a name for this modifier list.

Preferential

Enable one of the previously set preferential screens from which the server chooses a preferential preset button for selection in the next field of entry.

Key

Enable the button on the workstation screen who displays the modifiers when this sales item is selected.

Minimum

Type in the mandatory number of modifier item(s) that a server must select for this sales item.

Maximum

Type in the maximum number of modifier item(s) that a server can select for this sales item.

Free

Type in the maximum item weight for this modifier before the system will start to charge a price.

NOTE: The following example is provided to explain the proper settings for the " Free " field. For a sales item (such as a steak dinner), assume that a customer has a choice of either two side orders (such as vegetables) or a baked potato as the modifier. You could set the " Minimum " fields to 1 for this modifier because the server should choose at least one vegetable or the baked potato.

The " Free " field would be set to 2 because the item weight for each vegetable is one (2x1=2), and the item weight for the baked potato is two. The server can not exceed this maximum weight for free modifiers when choosing modifiers. Therefore, two vegetables or one baked potato may be selected, but if one vegetable and one baked potato are selected (1+2=3, which exceeds the maximum value of 2). The second modifiers price is no longer $0.00, and the customer is charged for the modifier.

Preferential Screen Setup

The Preferential Screen Setup option from the Screen menu allows to define the scrolling command area (SCA) of your preferential screen. Preferential screens are custom view pages of your revenue center.

The Order Screen is composed of 3 areas

A scrolling command area. A fixed command area. A scrolling history area.

We use the notion of grid to partition areas; a regular device uses a grid of 8x12 cells, while a small device will use a grid of 3x10 or 3x9 cells (need to be determined at usage). Area size will snap to these grids. Scrolling uses page-flipping notion only. Scrolling supports bi-directional flipping, or unidirectional flipping with rollover. The grid is just a general button layout helper. Buttons are allowed to not snap to this grid.

1 - The scrolling command area (SCA)

This area corresponds to the actual preferential screen notion. While the area as a fixed size, the number of buttons in this area is variable. The size of buttons will be adjusted to fit the complete area. Actually on a regular device there is a maximum of 50 buttons, on a small size device there is approximately 30 buttons (will need to be estimated at usage). Buttons have the possibility to expand to left, bottom or both. When a button expands to a direction, it will take over the area of the neighborhood button, which will be hidden.

These buttons can trigger orders or commands (same as the fixed command area).

Command to scroll this area can be contains in the SCA or in the FCA.

The SCA works with the FCA to compute his size. If a complete row of the FCA is hidden, the SCA will take over this area.

2 - The fixed command area (FCA)

Contrary to the SCA, the buttons in this area have a fixed size. The only modification that is allowed is Right expand and Bottom expand. Other than that, they can only be displayed as shown. From the user's perspective, the number of buttons will also vary.

These buttons can trigger orders or commands (same as FCA).

We can estimate roughly 32 buttons for a regular device and 12 buttons for a small device.

3 - The scrolling history area (SHA)

This area can be sub-divided into 4 areas:

The header
The history order list
The footer
The fast quantity buttons

Only the order list is scrollable by page flipping. It contains the order information for the current table; orders already sent to the kitchen are displayed distinctly from new orders. The headers and footers contain information for the current table like the table number, the card, delivery time, actual total, and so on&

The size of the SHA will depend of the FCA. If a complete row of FCA is hidden, the SHA will take over this area. We will need about 2 lines for the header and 1 for the footer, the number of lines of the order list will vary to fit the rest of the SHA Command to scroll. This area can be contained within the SCA or in the FCA.

On small devices we will provide functionality to temporarily take over the full screen to see a long list of orders. Regular devices will provide the functionality to temporarily display previous order for food runners.

The SHA is also responsible to create the fast quantity buttons (if needed).

FCA and SCA buttons

All buttons in these areas can trigger the same set of commands. These commands will be rich and easily modifiable.

A command can trigger a direct action, or display a list of commands.

The available commands can be:

All commands existing in the actual preferential screen (items, lists, preferential, screen, modifier, payment, and son on&).
All commands existing in the current order screen (print, up, down, send, close, and so on&).
All commands in the CMD button.
A list of previous mentioned commands.

Also the appearance of each button must be set individually like in the actual preferential screen. The user can change colors, fonts, bitmaps and icons.

All configurations for SCA and FCA are done on the Back-Office using a user-friendly graphical representation of the order screen as it appears on the POS. Because we want to make the process easy for the end user, and because the SCA and FCA correspond to two different concepts, the setup of SCA and FCA is separated. Small and Regular devices must be integrated as seamless as possible in the system. Only one set of SCA/FCA exists, and the system switches automatically for the end-user, depending on the device. So the detail of FCA/SCA is different between small and regular devices but the list of SCA/FCA is the same.

Screen Layout Setup

Screen Layout Setup Overview

The Screen Layout setup option from the Screens menu, allows to customize the screen structure to your specific operation needs. For example, you might want to display more command buttons (option available from the CMD screen) directly on to the fast-food order screen then on the dining room order screen. Also, if you use hand held devices, the screen layout needs to be different because of the size of the screen. You can have up to 20 different screen layouts on your system. Use the Screen Layout setup option to add/modify/move/hide functions or command buttons.

The Order Screen is composed of 3 areas

A scrolling command area. A fixed command area. A scrolling history area.

1 - The scrolling command area (SCA)

These buttons can trigger orders or commands (same as the fixed command area).

Command to scroll this area can be contains in the SCA or in the FCA.

The SCA works with the FCA to compute his size. If a complete row of the FCA is hidden, the SCA will take over this area.

2 - The fixed command area (FCA)

These buttons can trigger orders or commands (same as FCA).

We can estimate roughly 32 buttons for a regular device and 12 buttons for a small device.

3 - The scrolling history area (SHA)

This area can be sub-divided into 4 areas:

The header
The history order list
The footer
The fast quantity buttons

The SHA is also responsible to create the fast quantity buttons (if needed).

FCA and SCA buttons

All buttons in these areas can trigger the same set of commands. These commands will be rich and easily modifiable.

A command can trigger a direct action, or display a list of commands.

The available commands can be:

All commands existing in the actual preferential screen (items, lists, preferential, screen, modifier, payment, and son on&).
All commands existing in the current order screen (print, up, down, send, close, and so on&).
All commands in the CMD button.
A list of previous mentioned commands.

Also the appearance of each button must be set individually like in the actual preferential screen. The user can change colors, fonts, bitmaps and icons.

Screen Layout Setup

The Screen Layout Setup function from the Screens menu allows to define the Fixed Command Area (FCA) of your order screen to your specific operation needs. Screen Layouts are custom view pages of your commands. For example, you might want to display more command buttons (option available from the CMD screen) directly on to the fast-food order screen then on the dining room order screen. Also, if you use hand held devices, the screen layout needs to be different because of the size of the screen. You can have multiple screen layouts on your system. Use the Screen Layout setup option to add/modify/move/hide functions buttons or command buttons.

From the grid, under the Fixed Command Area (FCA), select the button you want to modify and click on the "Modify" button. You can also double click on the button to access the properties.

Click this button to enter the screen layout description.
