Food Service : How to use the Dining Header in Table Service Food and Beverage module How to use the Dining Header in Table Service Food and Beverage module
Dining Headers in the Table Service Food and Beverage environment are triggered via an .INI setting, DiningHeaders=TRUE, in the [Preferences] section of the .INI. The presence of this setting triggers the “select table” prompt in the Sales interface and requests the attachment of a Dining Header to any saved sale (for ordering and paying throughout the Table Service Food and Beverage module process). It is possible to make a sale without Dining Headers, but the sale must be finalized immediately rather than going through the typical order process. It is not currently possible to suppress the table prompt from appearing when DiningHeaders=TRUE. The server must simple cancel from the table prompt to place and finalize an order without a Dining Header attached.
When presented with the Select Table dialog, enter the table number desired and click OK.
1. If the table number entered has one or more active sales associated with it, the Recall Dialog is displayed, along with the active sales associated with the table number.
2. If the table number entered has no active sales associated with it, the Dining Header table prompt is presented.
a. Verify that the table number presented is correct.
b. Select the number of guests associated with the table.
• To split a check in advance, enter a Split Number for the sale (representing the “check” on which you are currently working).
• After an order has been placed for this split number, repeat the process until you have split numbers and orders representing all the checks for the table.
a. If desired, enter a description to the Description field to further differentiate this order or sale. This description displays on the screen when the Recall dialog is presented to help the server distinguish this order from others and can also print on remote receipts.
