About

Tables are designed for customers who wish to hold a temporary running account or tab during their visit.  Customers may charge items to their account from any terminal  within the venue and can pay the outstanding amount at any terminal before leaving.  The following features can be used on a Versaterm to manage table accounts:

 

Add Table

A table account must first be 'added' (or opened) to the system before items can be charged to it.  A table may be added at the beginning or even during a sale

  1. Press the <TABLE ADD> key
  2. Enter the table number to be added
  3. Press <OK>

 

Charge to Table

  1. Key in all items to be charged and press the <TABLE SALE> key
  2. Enter the table number and press <OK/ENTER>

 

Show Table Balance

  1. Press the <TABLE SHOW> key and enter the table number
  2. Press <OK/ENTER> to view the current table balance on screen

 

Print Table

  1. Press the <TABLE PRINT> key and enter the table number
  2. Press <OK/ENTER> for the table account to print at the attached receipt printer
  3. All items charged to the table account, any payments made and an outstanding balance will be shown on the receipt/account

 

Pay Table Cash

  1. Press the <TABLE PAYMENT> key and enter the table number
  2. Press <OK/ENTER>
  3. Enter the cash amount to be paid towards the table account (only use the decimal point if the amount to be paid is not a whole dollar amount)
  4. Press <OK/ENTER> to finalise the payment

 

Pay Table EFTPOS

  1. Press the <TABLE PAYMENT EFTPOS> key and enter the table number
  2. Press <OK/ENTER>
  3. Enter the EFTPOS amount to be paid towards the table account (only use the decimal point if the amount to be paid is not a whole dollar amount)
  4. Press <OK/ENTER> to finalise the payment

 

Clear Table

Tables can be set to clear from the system automatically when the outstanding owing amount reaches $0.  For this to occur, the AUTO CLEAR TABLE WITH $0 VALUE option must be enabled in Utilities under the <TABLES/KITCHEN PRINTING> tab.  If this option is not enabled it is imperative to manually clear a finalised table account.  If this is not done, all items that were previously charged (including payments) will appear on the table account when it is next used (e.g. on the next seating).

  1. Press the <TABLE CLEAR> key and enter the table number
  2. Press <OK/ENTER> and the table account will be cleared

 

Print Open Table List

A list of all open tables and balances can be printed by pressing the <PRINT OPEN TABLES LIST> key.  This list will be printed to the local receipt printer.  This can be useful to check at the end of trade that all tables are paid and closed.
