### Using Freebees in a Maitre'D Environment

When working in a Maitre'D environment, the POS and payment terminal communicate automatically, ensuring that there is no input error for the total amount. When Maitre'D communicates the purchase amount to the terminal, the terminal uses the SecurePay or SecureTable application to display the sale amount and, when a gift card is identified as the payment method, it will automatically switch to the Freebees app.

IMPORTANT! The procedure described below is for a purchase (redemption) using a gift card. Any other transaction using a gift card must be processed using the Freebees application [in standalone mode](/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/payfacto-gift-powered-by-freebees/standalone-operation.md#standalone-mode).
{% endhint %}

#### **To process a purchase (redeem) with SecureTable:**

1. On the Maitre'D workstation, print the guest check(s).
2. Bring the guest check(s) with the payment terminal to the table.
3. Identify which check you want to process and the desired payment method.
4. Pass the payment terminal to the customer.
5. For a customer who wishes to pay with a gift card, direct them to touch the green **Gift Card** button on the terminal screen.

The Freebees main screen appears, allowing you to scan, swipe or manually enter the card number.

NOTE: If the customer swipes the gift card without touching the **Gift Card** button, the terminal will ask if the payment method is a gift card; touch **Yes** and the procedure will continue as indicated.
