Bars with Food Service

In the busy and demanding service environment of a bar with food service, the payment system is an integral part of the point of sales experience and should fulfill certain requirements:

Terminals must fit easily into the environment.

Fast service for high patron volumes is essential; the busy nature of a bar requires that consumers can't be kept waiting while transactions are processed and receipts printed.

Tip support must be easy.

Bartenders and servers must be able to easily add tip amounts to transactions, and reports must separate these amounts from transactions so that bartenders and servers can collect their tips.

Must support open/close bar tab.

Patrons must be able to open a tab with one card and close it with a different card. Management review must be easy. Shift-level reporting gives managers a key productivity tool.

Terminals must be easy to learn.

Bartenders & servers need terminals that are easy to use so that learning time is minimized.

Change Card Option.

Patrons can settle their tab with a card other than one used to open the tab.

Auto-settle.

Before a batch is settled, our terminals check for open tabs and reviews all transactions for adjustments. Express Tip.

Tips can be quickly and easily adjusted using a single key that initiates appropriate prompts.

Cash Tip Reporting.

Tip reporting is made easier because the total amount of cash tips per bartenders or server can be reported. Unadjusted Report.

Managers can quickly review this report of transactions that haven't been adjusted before end-of-day settlement.

IRS Tip Report.

Report prints tip percentage by bartenders or server and cash tips to make IRS tip reporting easy.

Shift Reporting.

Establishments can record the number and dollar amount of transactions by shift, as a measure of bartender and server productivity. Shifts can be automatically incremented using a time-table, or shift changes can be manually initiated.
