Handling tips

Your POS terminal provides tip-in, tip-editing, tip-transfer and tip-paid functions for treating tips. Read though this section for handling tips.

Tip-in entries

Your POS terminal allows entries of tips that your guests give to clerks in cash or other media (cheque or credit). Also depending on programming, over-tendered amount may be automatically received as a tip.

The tip-in entry assumes that it is carried out in the following system:

Tip paid by a guest to a clerk is entered in the POS terminal by tip entry, and the restaurant pays the tip amount to the clerk later in cash.

Tip amount entry to the POS terminal is normally performed by a clerk.

The entry is allowed before payment operation is performed. After the tip entry is performed, item entry is not allowed. The transaction operation must be finalized by payment operation. Two types of tip, cash tip and non-cash (credit or cheque) tip, are not allowed to be mixed in entry during one transaction operation.

Cash tip entry

In a transaction in which cash tip entry is made, when payment operation is started, the process is as follows:

Cash tender (which may be foreign money) is compulsory until total cash tender exceeds or equals to cash tip amount. Then, cheque (or credit) tender operation is allowed.

Non-cash tip entry

In a transaction in which non-cash tip entry is made, when payment operation is started, the process is as follows:

Cheque (or credit) tender is compulsory until total cheque (or credit) tender exceeds or equals to non- cash tip amount. Then, cash tender operation is allowed.

Cash tip entry

Tip amount [CASH TIP IN]

Non-cash tip entry

Tip amount [NON-CASH TIP IN]

NOTE

If the tip entered exceeds the HALO amount, your POS terminal requests a confirmation of the tip amount.

When the tip totalizer exceeds the HALO amount, your POS terminal show the special indicator.
