Table Tracking

This is a feature used in restaurants, pubs and clubs, also commonly known as  “tabs”, “tables”, “checks It allows the cashier to open an account on the cash register and then ring items up and then save the sale on the till. The cashier can then go back into the sale and add any new items onto the sale and then resave it on the till.

Only when the customer has paid and is ready to leave is the sale cashed off.

The benefit of table tracking is it allows for suggestive selling to the customer for example: after the customer has had their meal the cashier might suggest dessert or coffee.

If the customer paid immediately after ordering their meal it would mean the end of the sale and to try and sell them something extra afterwards would be a lot more difficult.
 

Table Transfers

This move a table from one area to another. On the till it will change the table number to another table number.

For example a customer moves from sitting outside to sitting inside, so to keep control the table number is changed to the new table number where the customer is sitting.

 

Split Billing – Separate checks

This will allow you to break one bill into smaller bills, and then control each separate bill as a separate table.

For example, a group of customers sitting at Table 5 each want to pay for their own meals separately, so in this case when the table is “split” it creates another  such as table 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc (depending on how many times you want to split a table). Each customer at the table then gets their own table number (5.1,5,2 etc)

Each split table is controlled separately to eliminate confusion.
 

Join Table (Add table)

A customer sitting at table 1 might want to join a customer sitting at table 6. Table 1 is then added to table 6 and table 1 is then cleared. Table 6 now controls both tables but all under one table number as if everything was run up under  table 6.
