Programming Question

[Frosteen]

Hello,

I manage a very large restaurant which contains 4 bars. Each bar has at least 2 bartenders and at most 4 bartenders behind it on any given night. There is at least one register behind each bar. I need to allow the bartenders working behind any particular bar to access all checks/ tabs associated with that bar regardless of which employee started the tab. How would I go about doing this while still protecting the cash registers and not sharing employee numbers with other employees? We operate at a very high volume so having to search for a tab through three different employee numbers is putting my girls in the weeds. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you

If you are using Micros, Micros uses positions, the position is there this access is given. However, if you have a large volume of checks open at a single time, your bartenders will have to sort (page) though all the checks to get to one check, versus just their checks.

Can you make teams with the bartenders? Make a team for each bar each night so they can share checks and use their own numbers.

If you are using Aloha, you could do check sharing / team get check. The issue that you run into is who owns the check for tax/IRS purposes. If I remember right, the person who starts the check is considered the owner, and shows the sales on their checkout, even if the 2nd bartender closes it. They do not have all the sales split 50/50.

Which POS is this for?

Micros can have a Main Bartender signed in and then another one will swipe their card to have the transaction posted to their account.

For instance, You have a Bartender at a location in the Bar where Cocktail waitresses go to put in orders.
The Bartender is already signed in and can sell under his/her Account. However, when a Cocktail Waitress needs to place an order she swipes her Micros Card (while the bartender is signed in) to put the sale under her account. The bartender will then complete the order (Park the Check, or Close the check whichever happens).

This is set in the Miscellaneous Options on the Workstation in EMC > Device Table. Option to turn on is "Auto Begin Chk when Chk Optr ID# Entered Outside Trans."
Just make sure the Employee has access to work in that RVC and that they have a Cashier Link for the RVC.
