    Message for All Users

    Stored Logos

    Allows for the creation of a logo file to be placed in “non volatile” memory of a printer.

    Used with Epson T88-5 Printer

    Wireless printers could lose their logos more frequently as wireless connectivity issues force resets of the printers.  This will prevent that from happening.

    Customers want to be able to load multiple logos or bitmaps into the printers to print above and below the check body in the header and trailer areas

    The following must happen to make use of this feature:

            1) An Epson utility must be used to create a new                                                ALTLOGO.T85 file containing one or more separate

              bitmaps or logos.

              2) Backoffice settings to designate which printers     are using this approach

           3) WINTERM.ini settings on each terminal to configure this         approach


    Single Menu Per Terminal

    You can now limit assigning a single menu to a terminal for Fast Food Menu Terminal assignments.

    By doing this the limitation of using only defined menus 1-16 is removed.

    User Cash Drawer Includes User Terminal Assignment

    Assigning someone to a cash drawer will also assign them to that terminal

    They will be able to access that terminal by touching their name on the screen.

    Total for Amount Tendered on Guest Check

    We have added a total for the amt-tend column to the payments section at the bottom of a check

    Eliminate from Multiplier

    Time Clock Adjustments - Select Users from List

    Eliminate Adjust Tips

    This flag will eliminate the ability to adjust tips for anyone, under employees hours and schedules.

    No split off function for separate checks

    This will remove the ability to split off items from a check in the separate check screen.

    Prep Delay by Item

    This feature gives the server the ability to start an order and time items individually

    Required Settings >There must be a Delayed Routing Scheme set up in Set up> Hardware > Printout Routing for the Delay timer to kick in. Above you can see the only category following the standard routing scheme is the Liquor/Beverage category which means these items will get sent immediately

    The standard routing scheme is still in play here and should be used for any items that are going to be sent right away such as beverages.

     A server can enter beverages and menu items and when they touch send, the beverages will go immediately because they are included in the Standard Routing scheme and the menu items will go according their send times:

    The example above shows the Delay routing entries which means these categories will follow the Delay Routing Scheme

    • In Menu Screens : Prep Sequence Names > Standard Completion Minutes, This setting will be the max amount of minutes an item can be delayed.
    • Create Completion Times for Each Send, in order for any additional items to be timed or to have the ability to modify an item after the initial delay timeAll items in Delayed send routing scheme must have the same Prep Minutes filled in to match the Standard Completion setting mentioned previously
    • All Menu items in the delayed send routing scheme have to be in the same Sequence # and need a “modifier group” containing the timing in minutes with which to delay items.
    •  The “delay time” options must have a negative amount in the prep minutes and we suggest showing inventory descriptor on prep and enter a description that won’t really say anything as we don’t want to confuse the cooks.
    • The flag “exclude from check” also needs to be on. This flag will insure that these descriptors do not print on a guest
    • “Print inventory description on prep” needs to be on

    At the front of the house a server can touch the amount of minutes they want to delay an item. If they do not choose one of these options the item will be sent immediately when they touch Send

    • A server can also go back to an order and modify or remove the timing by touching the minutes and touching Mod or Del.
    • Mod will bring up the list of modifiers including the minutes to delay and they could change the delay time if desired at that point.

    Del will remove the time so that when the server touches send, the item will go immediately
