Hello,
The New Jersey Lottery is installing their quick draw lottery game in my bar and restaurant and I would like to know how to program my Micros 3700 POS to ring up lottery sales.
The reason why I want the POS to ring up the sale of lottery tickets, rather than keep it separate, is so that I can track how much each server or bartender sold in lottery tickets and how much money they paid out in lottery winnings, so that they can use just one drawer for both restaurant and lottery sales. I figure it will be better this way rather than having a separate lottery drawer, because then I won’t have several people sharing the one lottery drawer.
The tickets are not taxed, and the money my restaurant receives from the sale of a lottery ticket goes to the lottery, so the sales of the lottery tickets can’t be added to my restaurants total sales.
I do receive a 5% commission on each ticket sold, which I must account for as business income, as well a commission on winning tickets, but I can get any totals I need for accounting purposes from the lottery terminal itself, if it’s too hard to get the POS to produce these totals.
I just want to have the amount sold in lottery tickets and the amount paid out in winnings, to appear as line items on the servers report that I run at the end of their shift, and for the cash due line to reflect these totals, since their bank will now be including the lottery money as well.
Any suggestions on how to best set this up, if it can even be done?
Thank you,
lachilles
