Direct Tip
Direct Tips are those that a customer gives in cash directly to a server or
bartender. Employees use the [Direct Tips] key to enter the amount of tips
they’ve received in cash. The system may be programmed to require an
employee to declare tips when clocking out. This information is added to Tips
Totals on the Employee Tip Report and used for Income Tax purposes.
Note: Direct Tips are independent of Tips Paid or Charged Tips which are
tracked separately.

Discount
A Discount reduces the price of an item or the subtotal of a check. Discounts
may be applied using one of four methods: fixed dollar amount, open dollar
amount, fixed percentage, and open percentage.
A discount may be applied to a menu item if the menu item is assigned to the
Discount Group. In this way, discounts may be programmed to affect all or
only some types of menu items (e.g., food, liquor, etc.).

Subtotal Discount.
Discount Group
Discount groups allow you to only discount certain items when applying a
discount. For example, a restaurant may offer a 15% case of wine discount.
All bottles of wine are linked to discount group #4 - Wine Disc. If a customer
orders 2 entrees, some sodas, and 12 bottles of wine on one check, applying
the 15% Wine Discount would only discount the bottles of wine. The entrees
and soda would not be discounted because they are linked to a different
discount group.
Display Language
The Display Language on the workstation displays (check detail, touch keys,
error messages, etc.) can be changed by pressing the [Change Language] key.
Also, each employee can be assigned a Default Language that is used when
the employee signs in. Up to 4 languages can be defined.
This allows each member of the staff to receive information in the language in
which they are most comfortable.
