POS Control - Configuration > POS

Update Button

Enable this option to display the Update button on the main screen of the workstation. This button allows to update the workstation after changes to the system from the Back-Office have been made. The Update button allows to update without having to open or access a guest check.

Items without Quantity

Enable this option to display the items separately. This option is useful if you setup an automatic item discount of type two for one or many for one. These discounts work only if the quantity stays at one. Leave it disabled to allow the items to have a modifiable quantity.

Enable Media Screen Calculator

Enable this option to allow the use of the plus (+) and multiply (*) buttons on the media amount entry screen to use multiple instances of the same media type. For example, if you have 2 gift certificates of different amounts, you can use the plus button to add them together and enter a total amount of gift certificates, instead of manually adding 2 amounts before entering their total at the workstation.

NOTE: This feature also allows the use of the plus (+) button on the Promotion Amount screen to add multiple instances of the same discount.

Release Confirmation

Enable this option for the system to prompt you with a confirmation message ("yes" or "no") when you manually attempt to release a table.

Enable this option to quickly choose an employee from a list displayed on the workstation instead of entering the employee number every time.

NOTE: If the employee list is not displayed, press the ENTER button on the server number screen.

Cash Rounding

Enable this option in markets where low-denomination coins were removed from circulation, like Canada and Australia. With this option enabled, cash transactions are rounded to the nearest multiple of $0.05. The rounding is displayed on the Amount Received and Change screens, and printed on the Check and Receipt. Transactions made with payment cards, gift cards or other methods of payment are unaffected.

Use Volume Modifier

Enable this option to enable the replacement of the Tare option by the Volume Modifier option for liquor control when setting an item's function as Price Rolled Up.

Automatically Upsize Modifier

Enable this option not to prompt for modifiers again when upsizing a main item with modifiers.

NOTE: If these modifiers are setup with their own upsizes, they will be used. If not, they will remain the same.

Open Price Auto Override

Enable this option to force item with the Open Price option to be ordered at their default price point without displaying the numeric keypad. This allows third-party interfaces to change prices for those items in the back-office without affecting items that have previously been ordered on checks or bar tabs that are still open.

Sort Discounts Alphabetically

Enable this option to sort the list of discounts alphabetically on the point of sale. If this option is left disabled, the discounts will be sorted by their internal ID number.

Use advanced POS UI

Enable this option to use the high-definition, HTML-Based user interface for point of sale workstations. Disable this option to keep using the legacy user interface.

NOTE: The Advanced POS UI requires more resources than the Legacy POS UI. Use of the Advanced POS UI is recommended with high-end POS hardware.

Display Delay

Enter the number of seconds after the end of the transaction before the line display shows the promotion lines setup in Point of Sale Control > Revenue Center > Options > Messages.

Report Time-out

Enter the number of seconds after the request for an external custom Crystal Report on the workstation before displaying a Timeout During Report Generation prompt.

Service Speed Data

Enter the number of days that will be available for the service speed report, in the report center. Valid values are between 30 and 365, inclusively.
