Features
 
Salesware’s Table Service Food and Beverage and Quick Service Food and Beverage modules have the following features:
Customizable menu creation (button positions, colors). Include easy “activation” of daily specials and tight controls of limited menu items.
Modifier selections: Prompts can be configured to assist servers with selections including the configuration of minimum/maximum selection requirements.
Eight kitchen printers with customizable layouts that may be further customized per venue.
Dining Headers that allow easy table start, recall and edit. In addition to the table number a description along with the number of guests (cover) may be entered to assist the recall process when many tables/tabs are open.
Table recall based on server log-in and location (restaurant location or even a sub-section within the restaurant).
Auto-log out functionality allows one point-of-sale to be easily accessed by many servers.
Auto-log-in cards may be created to facilitate the log-in process when recalling and editing tables.
Table splits that allow a single check to be split to multiple checks in one step.
Transfer activity that allows single items to be transferred between two checks and/or entire checks to be combined.
Tip and gratuity functionality that allows tips to be recorded per check. An un-limited number of gratuity levels may be configured for use at various venues.
Pay out tip functionality complete with distributing a portion of system recorded tips to other roles within the restaurant (cook, host, dishwasher, etc.) in order to only declare the actual amount collected by the server within reports.
Server bank activity complete with prompts to return the bank during closeout.
Server Banking Report that provides statistical information regarding turn time, covers, tip declaration and items.
Quick discounting based on a pass swipe that applies only those specials allowed to items on the check (for example, employee discounts that are allowed on food items, but not on alcohol).
Account charging of meals/tabs by using the Sales, In-House Cards charge programs.
Ability to access central guest database which allows tracking VIP guests and their purchases. (Helpful when generating “invite-only” guest lists for special events.)
