Combining Checks
- Jason Epp
Combining checks is done for a single payment, usually by credit card, to pay for the checks of multiple tables. When combining checks they should have no existing payments and can be done in these 2 stages:
Move Table
Open the check to be moved/combined with another check.
Swipe left on Ordering Menu screen to the Location Menu
Tap Move Table
On the Move Table dialog box select the location to receive the check from the list.
Note: When combing checks, the location receiving the check should be a ‘Table’ or ‘Bar Service’ location, not setup with the operation mode of Counter Service.
All checks associated to that Table or Bar Service location will appear in the order list on the left, with individual check amounts and an Order Total for all checks on that table/location).
Repeat this as needed to combine multiple tables/checks to a single table/location.
Now at this point the table can be paid for each check, if the checks are still needed as separate payments. If the checks are supposed to be combined into one check/payment then:
Edit Checks: combine or separate the checks further
For the table with the multiple checks present, tap Add Checks
The Edit Checks screen will appear and Add Checks quantity pop-up will appear.
Tap outside the pop-up box if not adding additional checks
Tap the check and then either:
Select the item(s) to be moved to a different check.
For this purpose all items from one check will selected.
Tap the check that the menu items are to move to
Tap the X to remove any old checks that are now empty
Or Tap the the (i) icon at the upper right corner of the selected check. On the flyout, tap Merge Checks.
A list of available checks is shown. (A check cannot be merged to itself.) Tap the check to be merged with the selected check.
Tap Done
Combined check will appear (*recalculated if necessary) and can be paid
*Note: When combined a few things occur and may impact the total. What to expect:
Any seating assignment for the moved items will be lost
Any Credit Card pre-auth will be lost
Adjustments will still apply to the original individual items
Surcharges and Gratuities will be recalculated against all items
Tax will be recalculated, it may change for rounding or taxes on Surcharges and/or Gratuities
Merge checks
When there is more than one check, checks can be merged together. From the Location Menu, tap Edit Checks, then tap the (i) icon at the upper right corner of the selected check. On the flyout, tap Merge Checks. A list of available checks is shown. (A check cannot be merged to itself.) Tap the check to be merged with the selected check. Repeat to merge additional checks.
