Name Tab Lookup

[POSINSAM]

Hey everybody. I know I have seen this problem before but cannot seem to search for an answer on this forum. We have a problem at the nightclub where we have so many tabs that we have to scroll through pages and pages of tip tabs to be able to add the tips. Is there a Sim written to do a name look up or anything of the sort? Thank you so much for your help

So the issue we're having is too many open tabs. We have a very high volume bar. Currently on Aloha the bartenders don't have time to put in a cc tip after they get the signed slip back. So they put it aside and type in the tips after close. This results in a huge stack of cc slips at the end of the night. Over 100 sometimes. On Aloha, after u run a cc on a tab, it will pull it off the open tab screen. That doesn't happen on Micros. On Micros, a tab will stay on the "open tab" screen until u put in the tip. This results in 100's of open tabs. Even though you actually have maybe 50 open tabs, you'll have multiple pages of tabs with 80% of those just waiting for the tip to be put in. This really slows down the bartender when they have to scroll through multiple screens just to look for a tab to add to it. What should happen is that when you run a cc on a tab to close it out, it should be moved off the "open tab" screen, even if u haven't put in the tip yet to make the screen less congested.

There is no out of the box functionality to "search" but if your staff know the exact name of a check then you can use the function "Pickup Check by ID". You need to have the exact name, a partial name wont work.

Or if you have assigned tables or know the check number then you can use the pickup by table number or check number functions.

Easiest option would just be to print a chit when the check is opened and leave it at the customers location so you can see the exact check name or number when needed.

I could create a SIM script could be created to search for checks but its chargeable work.
