Servers using Sixth Sense Café will find it easy and quick to use. Large buttons, simple fields, and all their information displayed right in front of them.
First, log into a table:
Then bring up the check screen, which is the main working area for the servers. From this screen a server may start the guest’s order, send the order to the kitchen and/or bar, print the guest’s check and receive payment.:
Take Order
The Take Order button will enter the menu items onto the check. If you are just starting a check you will be asked to enter the number of guests at the table with the screen below. (guest numbering is an option in system preferences)
Next you will enter the guest’s ID for the first order to be entered with the following screen.
After entering the guest ID you will start entering the order using the menu screens. The Beverages screen is shown below, and other similar screens hold the rest of the menu. Each button will be occupied by an item from your menu. A guest’s order is displayed in the bottom left corner.
There are lists in Sixth Sense Café for temperature, starches, salad dressings, mix and upscale. These automatically pop up when ordering certain menu items. If you choose an item which requires additional information, such as a steak, a screen will automatically pop up so that you may enter additional information on the item. The kitchen would need to know how well to cook a steak, temperature list, or what salad dressing should be included with the salad, or what starch item will accompany the meat
Drink Add On and Menu Modifiers lists are used if you wanted to add information on what not to include, such as ‘No Onions’.
You can also add notes to orders to include messages to the kitchen or bar that are not entered into Sixth Sense Cafe's list of modifiers.
Transfer Table
Transfer servers to different tables, tables to different servers or both.
Customer Accounts
Customer accounts are used in the following ways:
Any amounts charged to a customer are done automatically during a sale. When a customer's account number is entered into the payment screen, a note which is attached to their account is then displayed, allowing you to control whether to accept a cheque, to collect on an overdue payment before allowing further charges, or for entering any other information you wish the note to display.
Bonus points (if used) are automatically credited or debited (refunds) to the customer's account during a sale.
Discounts
You have two types of discounts that can be given from the check screen. You can apply these discounts to just one guest at the table or the entire check.
First, a general discount can be given on all of the items in a sale, up to the point the discount is made. Just enter a discount (in percentage) that will be applied to the total sale up to that point.
Discounts can also be applied to a specific customer account. Any time that customer makes a purchase, a discount will be shown.
Training Mode
The Training Mode button allows sales to be made strictly for practice, so that your data file remains unaffected. When you are in Training Mode all procedures operate normally but there are no permanent changes made to your inventory data file or customer’s files. Any receipts or chits printed in this mode will be identical to those done in regular mode but will have the words ‘Training Mode’ printed on them.
