Make sure that the Maitre’D Electronic Funds Transfer Interface and Enhanced EFT options are included on the Maitre’D license. To confirm this, simply logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office using appropriate credentials, click on the File menu and select the Licenses option.
This will bring up the license’s properties. Two options are required for SecureTable to operate properly:
Interface Electronic Fund Transfer.
Enhanced EFT.
If any of these two options are missing, they will need to be purchased before you can use SecureTable. Please contact your local sales representative.
Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)
Start the Electronic Funds Transfer Module.
Click the View menu, and select Options…
The Configuration screen opens on the Interface branch.
The settings from the Interface, Identification, Operation, Receipt, Payment Device Tip Suggestion, Remote Payment Device and Home Page branches don't have any effect on the operation of SecureTable. Please make sure not to change or remove any settings found in these pages, as these could affect the operation of tethered payment terminals.
NOTE: It is possible to use tethered payment terminals from a third-party processor along with SecureTable. The settings in these windows would then be setup per your processor’s requirements.
Click on the Pay at the Table branch.
Pay at the table
Enable this option to activate Pay at the Table (PATT) functionality.
PATT Protocol
Select the SecureTablePay protocol.
Log Level
Select the desired log level for the Pay at the Table interface. Available choices are:
None: No log file is created.
Standard: Standard log level. All operations are logged in a summary format.
Detailed: Detailed log level. All operations are logged with detailed information.
Debug: Detailed log level with extra information for troubleshooting and investigation purposes.
TCP Port
Type in the TCP Port number used by the STPI Secure client.
Send Invoices
Disabled. This option is not available because it is not compatible with the SecureTablePay protocol.
Get Invoice Status
Disabled. This option is not available because it is not compatible with the SecureTablePay protocol.
Partial Invoice Number
Enable this option to allow the payment terminal to retrieve checks by entering only the last 4 digits of the check number. If this option is disabled, the full check number will be required to retrieve checks.
Validate Employee
Enable this option to force the validation of the employee number entered at the payment terminal. With this option enabled, only the employee who owns the table associated with the printed check will be able to access that check from the payment terminal. If this option is disabled, any employee will be able to access any checks from the payment terminal.
Locking mode
Select the locking mode that will be used when accessing checks from the payment terminal. Two locking modes are available:
Table Locking
Select the table locking mode to lock the entire table as soon as a check is accessed by a payment terminal with SecureTable. For example, if you have 4 printed checks on Table #99, accessing any check from table #99 from a payment terminal with SecureTable will lock all checks from table #99. This prevents any of these checks from being accessed by other payment terminals or POS workstations.
Invoice Locking
Select the invoice locking option to lock only the check being accessed, without locking the entire table. This allows other checks on a given table to be closed simultaneously with other payment terminals or from POS workstations.
Shared Folder
This option is not available because it is not compatible with the SecureTablePay protocol.
Click OK to save changes and close the options window.
As soon as a table or invoice is accessed from a payment terminal with SecureTable, it is locked. This is done to prevent accidental double payment or double processing of invoices. While it is possible to override table or invoice locking, it is not recommended to do so. Unlocking a table or invoice in the middle of it being processed can cause invoices to remain open after being paid and discrepancies in reporting.
This configuration is optional for most merchants. Before proceeding, make sure that individual media type mappings are created for each accepted card brand.
A generic media type mapping may be required to cover the rare cases where a customer may pay with a card that is accepted by the merchant, but not already configured as a mapping in Maitre'D media types. If a dedicated media type mapping does not already exist, the payment would be recorded against the main media type, generally called "CREDIT/DEBIT". The goal of the generic mapping is to have such payments recorded against a media type with a more meaningful name, something like "Other Card Payment" for instance.
NOTE: SecureTable and SecurePay can be used at the same time on the same POS system. Therefore, the merchant can have any combination of stationary terminals using SecurePay and mobile terminals using SecureTable. Both types of terminals will share the same generic media type mapping.
Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)
Start the Point of Sale Control Module.
Click the Payments menu, and select the Media Types… option.
The list of all current media types will be displayed. Click the Add button.
A blank Media Type window will open directly on the Media Type branch. Configure according to the information below:
Media Type ID #
The Media Type ID number is automatically determined by Maitre’D when the Media Type is created. Maitre’D will always use the lowest available number between #2 and #23 inclusively.
Description
Enter a meaningful description for this media type. For the Generic mapping, this could be Other Card Payments or something similar. This description will be shown on customer receipts and media reports.
Payment Type
Select the Charge option from the drop-down list.
Payment Surplus
Select Tip Entry if the merchant accepts tips for servers.
Select NULL if the merchant does not accept tips.
Configure remaining options per the merchant’s needs and preferences.

Disabled. This option needs to be disabled.
Keyboard Input
Disabled. This option cannot be used since the Folio option above also needs to be disabled.
Included in Report
Enable this option so that this media type is shown in Back-Office reports (Recommended). Disabling this option will cause this media type to be hidden in the reports (NOT recommended).
Open Drawer (Optional)
Enable this option to make the cash drawer open when this media type is used.
NOTE: Print Receipt, Check on Receipt and Open Drawer options have no effect on wireless payment terminals using SecureTable. However, payment terminals with SecurePay will be affected.

This option is not supported with EMV protocols and semi-integrated protocols like SecureTable or SecurePay. Leave this value at 0.00.
Tips Credit Fees
Enter the percentage of tips paid to the waiters that will be withheld to cover for fees charged by payment processors. If you do not wish to use this feature, leave it at 0.00.
NOTE: Some jurisdictions don't allow transaction or credit card processing fees to be passed down to employees. Please verify your local regulations before using this feature.
Electronic Funds Transfer
Enable this option. This option needs to be enabled to block operations that are not compatible with EMV payments, such as Cancel/Reopen Check.
Hide Card Number
Enable this option. It automatically becomes enabled when Electronic Funds Transfer is enabled, so leave it enabled.
Show on Merchant Copy
Disable this option. This option was used by older, non-integrated protocols and caused the credit card number to be printed on the merchant copy of EFT transaction records. This option has no effect with any Electronic Funds Transfer protocol, semi-integrated protocols, SecureTable or SecurePay.
Credit Only
This option is not usable (grayed-out) with most EFT protocols. It is only used with the Datacap - DSIEMVUS semi-integrated protocols to allow Pre-Authorization and PreAuth Capture with select processors that support this feature.
Validation
Disable this option. Validation is only used with fully integrated EFT protocols and has no effect with semi-integrated protocols such as SecureTable or SecurePay.
Expiration
Disable this option. This option automatically becomes enabled when Electronic Funds Transfer is enabled. Make sure to DISABLE it. Otherwise, the POS will request the credit card’s expiration date, which will slow down your operations. This information is already checked by the payment terminal and does not need to be re-validated by the POS.
Debit Card
Disable this option for the generic media type mapping.
Card Validation
All the options in this section must be cleared. Make sure to clear the Custom Card checkbox as well as all the fields in the Card Validation section.

Media type mappings for SecureTable or SecurePay
Generic Media Type mapping for SecureTable or SecurePay
In order to get accurate reporting data with SecureTable or SecurePay, media types known as mappings need to be created for each card brand that will be accepted by the merchant. Before beginning, gather information on all the card brands and payment types that are accepted at the restaurant. Obtain this information from the restaurant owner and managers, and from the restaurant’s credit card processor.
NOTE: SecureTable and SecurePay can be used at the same time on the same POS system. Therefore, the merchant can have any combination of stationary terminals using SecurePay and mobile terminals using SecureTable. Both types of terminals will share the same media type mappings.
