The Force clerk validation option, tells the system whether you would like the clerk to log in after every completed transaction. If you multiple clerks working from one register this feature helps you track what clerk rang through what order. If you have a register that is typically only used by one clerk, forcing the clerk to log back in after every transaction would be unnecessary.
The timeout seconds option tells the system how many seconds tjne clerk is allowed to stay in the touchscreen, with no activity. If this is set to 0, the clerk can remain in the touchscreen with no activity for as long as they want. If it is set to 10 the system will log out that clerk after 10 seconds of inactivity. This option can be up to 9999. If you have the clerk validation set to N, the timeout seconds are of no consequence.
The order review timeout seconds, tells the system you have to review the order after it has been tendered. If it is set to 0, there will be no time to review the order. The next option is to choose whether this register will be in batch mode or not. Batch mode is for registers that you don't cash in or out. This mode also allows the clerk to accept order that have yet to be tendered i.e. they have no tender line. Your back office registers, like your club resister and your internet register should be in batch mode. As for your tasting room registers, these registers should not be in batch mode; you will want these registers cashed in and out at the beginning and end of each day.
Mode is how you want the register to process orders. If this is a back office register with no cash drawer you will want to have this option set to O for Order. This a basic setting; strictly for a register that processes back office orders. R for Register mode would be just your basic tasting room register, with a cash drawer. If you have selected T for table mode the register will behave more like a register would at a restaurant. This setting allows the clerk to assign table numbers to the orders, as well as keeeping them open in the touchscreen so that they can edited i.e. the customer can add to the order before it is closed out. After the clerk logs in they will need to assign a table.
Here you can see that you are able to suspend the order.
Now the clerk can go back into that table and make changes.
There is also an option to enter a tip at the end of the transaction. The last option is the P for Tip mode. You do not have table numbers, but you can suspend the orders (you need to go in to Browse orders to find them).
And, in the tender screen you can enter a tip.
