Increment a Bar Tab

Increment a Bar Tab

To increment a Bar Tab is the process of increasing the Pre-Authorization amount to cover more items purchased by the customer.

  1. Order items as you normally would, until the pre-authorized amount is reached.

POS - Order Items
  1. As the pre-authorized amount is reached, the POS will automatically request the amount to be increased. By default, the POS will suggest the next increment of the amount configured in the Default Amount field, under EFT / View / Options / Identification.

The Default Amount is $25.00, so the POS suggests $50.00 for the next increment.

If needed, the employee may enter a different amount using the provided keypad.

  1. After pressing ENTER on the keypad, the POS will process the external payment using the connected payment terminal.
