📄Processing Bistro Transactions

Overview

Continuing on from the "Introduction to Bistro Environment" article, this focuses on how to use Bistro Tables within SmartPOS when processing Transactions in a Venue where Bistro Service is used.

Prerequisites

To access Transaction Features, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled

Operator Maintenance 'Till Privileges' Tab

General: "Operate Tills" Flag
Tables: "Table Sales" Flag

Workflow & Example

To use Bistro Table Accounts, the SmartPOS Function Panel will need to be configured with a Till Function button to open a Bistro Table
To begin a Bistro Table Account, tap on the Bistro Table Till Function button

A screen will appear listing any active tables and will have additional Function buttons at the bottom of the window

Select the New Table (New Bistro Dining) button at the bottom of the window to open a New Bistro Transaction
Enter the New Table Number and select OK

Enter the Product/s to be sold and tender the Payment for the current customer
A similar screen will appear:

Press the OK button and this screen will appear:

SAVE & EXIT will save the current table and return the Operator to the login screen

- This will NOT send any messages to any remote printers as Bepoz is expecting additional items to be added to this Table prior to printing at a later date/time

SAVE, MORE ENTRIES will generate a similar screen allowing additional items to be added to the bill or allowing to take the next guests order:

The Operator can add the items as previously and take payment; once payment has been completed the following screen will be shown once again:

CLOSE & PRINT will close the Table and send any messages to Print to any Remote Printers; the Table is now Closed

If the Close Table and Print to Kitchen button is selected before finalizing a Payment, a dialogue will appear stating that there is a balance owing on the Bistro Table
